1. Subject-Verb Agreement
Definition: A verb must agree with its subject in number. If the subject and the verb do
not agree in number, there is an error in Subject-verb agreement.
Correction Method: First, identify the subject of the sentence. Then assess whether it is
a singular subject or a plural subject. Finally, change the verb to singular or plural, so that
it matches the subject.

2. Incorrect: All the kids was sick.
Correct: All the kids were sick.
