Agreement

Today we talked about subject-agreement. When you have a singular subject, you need to have a plural verb. Here's an example, the dog jumps over the fence. You wouldn't say, the dog jump over the fence. You can just tell that the last sentence didn't make much sense. I was searching through my blogs on Google Reader to find a mistake. It took quite some time to find a mistake, but I found one. It was in a cupcake blog. If you would like to check it out, just click on cupcake blog and it will take you right to the website. They should've used they have instead of they had. A place where it is difficult to find a mistake would be in the newspaper. The newspaper is hard to find one because people edit it and read through it to find any mistakes. A novel is a place where you find few errors as well.
