Subject-verb agreement is an essential rule of grammar that students must master as they advance in their writing skills. The subject is the noun or pronoun in a sentence, while the verb is the action word that expresses what the subject is doing. For example, in the sentence, ”The cat is sleeping,” the subject is ”cat,” and the verb is ”is sleeping.”
