Subject-Verb Agreement
A grammar rule that feels universal usually has an exception. Each question below is a real disagreement about "Subject-Verb Agreement" — see if you can spot it.
Riya says "She don't like spicy food", thinking "don't" works with every subject. Her brother says it is wrong with "she". Who is right?
Abhay writes "Ram and Shyam is going to the fair", thinking the verb always matches the nearest name (Shyam, singular). His sister says two names joined by "and" together make a plural subject. Who is right?
Disha writes "The team are playing well", thinking since a team has many people it needs a plural verb. Her teacher says "is" is correct here. Who is right?
Nandini writes "Everyone are happy today", thinking "everyone" means many people, so it needs a plural verb. Her friend says this word is treated as singular. Who is right?
