What is false about a compound subject?
A compound subject consists of two or more subjects joined by a conjunction that share the same verb. A common misconception is that a compound subject always requires a plural verb; however, if the subjects are considered a single unit or refer to the same entity, a singular verb may be appropriate. For example, in the sentence "Peanut butter and jelly is my favorite sandwich," the compound subject acts as a single item, justifying the singular verb "is."
If there is both a singular and a plural subject in a sentence what will the verb be?
There are some special rules for compound subjects. Subjects joined by the word and will always use the plural noun (except where the word each or every is used). If the subjects are joined by the words or or nor, the verb will match the last subject in the pair or group.ExamplesThe king and his counselors wait for the queen.The counselors and the king wait for the queen.Either the king or his counselors wait for the queen.Either the counselors or the king waits for the queen.---Also, recognize the subject where there is a prepositional phrase:The key to the doors remains in the drawer.In this sentence key is the subject so the verb is singular (has an S).The keys to the door remain in the drawer.Now the subject is plural and the verb is plural (drops the S).
When the subject is two nouns joined by and does it take a plural verb?
Yes. This is called a "compound subject."Examples:Sam and Tom are at the beach. (not is)My brother and my father play soccer very well. (not plays)
If the subject of a sentence is singular the verb must be singular too?
He runs to school everyday. Not - He run to school everyday.The policeman likes music. Not - The policeman like music.She is happy. Not - She are happy.
Which does not agree with the verb following it?
"It" is a singular subject so it requires a singular verb. Any plural verb following "it" is incorrect (unless "it" is part of a compound subject).

Give at least 5 rules in subject-verb agreement?
A singular subject must have a singular verb, and a plural subject must have a plural verb. When the subject is joined by "and," use a plural verb. Use a singular verb with singular indefinite pronouns like "everyone" or "nobody." Collective nouns can take a singular or plural verb depending on the context. Make sure to match the verb with the closest subject when using phrases like "along with" or "as well as."
When the subject is plural do you use a plural verb?
Yes, when the subject is plural, you should use a plural verb to maintain subject-verb agreement. This means that the verb should agree in number with the subject, so if the subject is plural, the verb should be too.
