     • Example:gaze-gazed guess-guessed hand–handed

2. Subject Verb Agreement

   • Example: She writes every day. ... If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Example: They write every day.
     • Subject verb agreement simply means the subject and verb must agree in number. This means both need to be singular or both need to be plural.
       • RULE1: The subject and verb must agree in number: both must be singular, or both must be plural. RULE2: The number of the subject (singular or plural) is not changed by words(or a phrase) that come in between the subject and the verb.
