Errors in Subject-Verb Agreement

Written by Belajar Toefl Dot Com on December 19th, 2009

Check if the subject of the verb is singular or plural. Does the verb agree in number? Multiple subjects will be connected by the word AND. If a singular subject is separated by a comma from an accompanying phrase, it remains regular.

Examples :

incorrect              : Joni, Siska and I is going to the library.

correct                  : Joni, Siska and I are going to the library.

incorrect              : His knowledge of languages and international relations aid him in his job.
