Agreement between subject and verb means that both are the same person and tense. This is especially important and inflected languages such as Latin, French, Italian etc. These languages have conjugation forms for person and tense and the subject and verb need to agree.
The boys in my class don't listen to the teacher. In this sentence 'boys' is the simple subject (the subject does the action - verb) 'The boys in my class' is the complete subject. The complete subject of a sentence contains the simple subject (usually a noun or a pronoun) and all the words and phrases that go with it. Another example: The man carrying the suitcase tripped on the step. Man is the simple subject. 'The man carrying the suitcase' is the complete subject. Tripped is the verb
The correct pronoun is: The best spellers in the class are you and she.The reason a subjective pronoun is used following the verb is because the verb 'are' is a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (spellers = you and she).The noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb is called a predicate nominative (a type of subject complement)A pronoun following a linking verb is always a subjective form.
The sentence in which the verb is a linking verb uses the verb to connect the subject of the verb to more information about the subject. The linking verb will not express an action.
The numbers of the subject and verb should be
The simple subject is "class," and the simple predicate is "have."
The voice of the verb "told" in the sentence is active. Mrs. Walker is the subject performing the action of telling scary stories to her class.
The verb of class refers to the action or state described by the noun "class." For example, in the sentence "The students are in class," the verb of class is "are."
"Each one of you is a class act" is correct, because the simple subject "one" requires a singular verb. Despite its proximity to the verb "is", "you" is not any part of a simple subject of this sentence but instead is the object of a preposition in a prepositional phrase in the complete subject. Objects of prepositions functioning grammatically as such are never by themselves the simple subject of a sentence.
The word those'll is a contraction, a shortened form for the demonstrative pronoun 'those' and the verb (or auxiliary verb) 'will'. The contraction those'll functions as the subject and the verb (or auxiliary verb) of a sentence or a clause. Examples:I made some cookies; those will be for the class. Or, I made some cookies; those'll be for the class.
"He" is the subject, and "was" is the verb.
The verb is: 'es'. It comes from the infinitive: ser and is conjugated in the present tense.
The predicate noun (or predicate nominative) is the noun or a pronoun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject, or the subject becomes the object.Examples:Mary was elected class president. (Mary->president)Mary is the new class president. (Mary=president)
ab
The pronoun that takes the place of the noun phrase 'the math class' as subject of a sentence or a clause is it.Example: The math class starts at ten. It is in room two hundred.The pronoun it will also function as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The voice of the verb "told" in the sentence is active, as the subject (Mrs. Walker) is performing the action (telling).
The subject is he, and the verb is was.
