📌 What is Subject-Verb Concord?

Subject-Verb Concord (also called Subject-Verb Agreement) means the verb in a sentence must agree in number and person with its subject.

📝 If the subject is singular, use a singular verb.
📝 If the subject is plural, use a plural verb.

---

🧠 Golden Rule:

👉 Singular Subject → Singular Verb
👉 Plural Subject → Plural Verb

---

📘 Examples in Daily Life:

1. He eats breakfast at 8 AM. ✅
   (Singular subject “He” → singular verb “eats”)
2. They play football every evening. ✅
   (Plural subject “They” → plural verb “play”)
3. My mother cooks delicious food. 🍲 ✅
   (Singular subject “mother” → singular verb “cooks”)

• Ten years is a long time. ✅

✅ Rule 8: Plural nouns that refer to a single object → Singular verb

• The news is fake. ✅

✅ Rule 9: Plural nouns ending in -s but used singularly (e.g., politics, economics)
