Why should people study subject and verb agreement?

Answer 1

It probably isn't necessary in your own language, except to refine your use of subjects and verbs in tricky situations. (What you need is paper and pens.) (The subject and verb seem to disagree in this case; the subject is "what you need" which is singular.)

It is possibly necessary to study subject/verb agreement in a new language. Other languages might be more complicated than your own language as far as subject/verb agreement goes. For example, in English we say: I see, you see, we see, they see, she sees, he sees, it sees. There are only two forms of the verb "see." In German they say, Ich sehe, du siehst, er sieht, sie sieht, es sieht, wir sehen, Sie sehen, ihr seht, sie sehen. (I did not give you these in the same order as the English.) Notice that the verb changes more than it does in English. So a non-German speaker would have to study these forms in order to get them right.

Answer 2

Studying subject-verb agreement is important because it ensures that sentences are grammatically correct. When subjects and verbs do not agree in a sentence, it can lead to confusion and miscommunication. Mastering subject-verb agreement improves writing clarity and overall language proficiency.
