Standard English is the literary dialect, taught in schools. There are many varieties of non-Standard English, far too many to list here, and they differ from Standard English and from each other in many ways. But perhaps the single greatest grammatical difference is that while Standard English has unhappily adopted the Latin model of negatives canceling each other out, the dialectical forms retain the Old English way of stringing negatives together for reinforcement. In Standard English, as influenced by Latin, we must say "Not anyone, not any way" but in our ancestral Old English, mainly surviving in non-Standard speech, we can say "Not nobody, not nohow" to mean "Absolutely no one, under any conditions."
Examples of prepositional phrases that typically do not affect subject-verb agreement include phrases that provide additional information about location, time, or manner. For instance, "The team of players is practicing," where "of players" is the prepositional phrase that does not impact the verb "is practicing."
Because that is the way it is in English grammar - subjects and verb must agree.Then your speech can be understood and writing can be understood by English speakers.Read these sentences, do they sound right to you?They does the cooking.This rose look beautifulTwo Pears has been eatenThe boxes are empty.The last one has correct subject verb agreement.
