User: What is the definition of subject–verb agreement?

Weegy: Subjects and verbs must agree in number. This is the cornerstone rule that forms the background of the concept. The dog growls when he is angry. The dogs growl when they are angry.

Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

Subject-verb agreement errors affect credibility in formal writing but may be overlooked in casual speech. Other mistakes, like misplaced modifiers or run-ons, can be more confusing. While important, they are not always the worst grammatical errors.

Irregular verbs, prepositional phrases, dependent clauses, compound subjects, and indefinite pronouns are not inherently bad in writing. They are essential elements of language that add variety, clarity, and complexity when used correctly.

Irregular verbs, prepositional phrases, dependent clauses, compound subjects, and indefinite pronouns are not inherently bad in writing; they serve important functions and contribute to the richness of expression. Proper understanding and usage are necessary for effective writing.
