subject-verb agreementThe rule that a verb must match its subject in number: one thing takes a singular verb, and several things take a plural verb.
You’ll leave with these skills
01Match “it” or “they” to the noun it stands forFind the noun the pronoun stands for, then use “it” or “its” for one thing and “they” or “their” for more than one.
02Look past a closer noun to the one the pronoun stands forAsk what the blank refers to and match the pronoun to that noun.
03Tell “them” from “they” by where the pronoun sits in the sentencePut the noun in the blank to see whether it’s one thing or more, then pick the pronoun that fits just after the verb.
