Subject-verb agreement is an important grammatical concept that students learn in their early years of education. It refers to the agreement between the subject and the verb of a sentence in terms of number and person. In simple terms, it means that the verb should always agree with the subject in terms of whether it is singular or plural. Ensuring proper subject-verb agreement is essential for effective communication and writing.
