Dear Parent
Greetings!
The weekly Time Table will be shared separately along with Meeting Ids and
Passwords.
Please refer to Event Planner for Holidays and Activities planned for the month.
English
• Define ‘VERBS‘. (remembering)
different sentences. (applying and understanding)
• Acquire proficiency in using singular and plural
verbs appropriately. (applying)
appropriately. (analyzing and applying)
classifying them as verbs of doing/ being/
ownership. (remembering and applying)
• Correct the errors related to the use of helping verbs. (analyzing and evaluating)
Value Points:
Verb: A verb is a word that defines action - an action word. It will tell what the subject of a
sentence is doing or what will happen.
Example: "Terry ran upstairs." (ran tells what Terry did - Terry is the subject.)
Example: "Katie eats her lunch." (eats tells what Katie is doing - Katie is the subject.)
Subject – Verb Agreement
Page 2 of 18
Subjects and verbs must agree in number.
1. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular too.
Example: She writes every day.
Exception: When using the singular "they," use plural verb forms.
Example: The participant expressed satisfaction with their job. They are currently in a
managerial role at the organization.
2. If the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.
Example: They write every day.
Sometimes, however, it seems a bit more complicated than this.
3. When the subject of the sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns
connected by and, use a plural verb.
Example: The doctoral student and the committee members write every day.
Example: The percentage of employees who called in sick and the number of employees
who left their jobs within 2 years are reflective of the level of job satisfaction.
4. When there is one subject and more than one verb, the verbs throughout the sentence
must agree with the subject.
Example: Interviews are one way to collect data and allow researchers to gain an in-depth
understanding of participants.
Example: An assumption is something that is generally accepted as true and is an important
consideration when conducting a doctoral study.
5. When a phrase comes between the subject and the verb, remember that the verb still
agrees with the subject, not the noun or pronoun in the phrase following the subject of
the sentence.
Example: The student, as well as the committee members, is excited.
Example: The student with all the master’s degrees is very motivated.
Example: Strategies that the teacher uses to encourage classroom
participation include using small groups and clarifying expectations.
Example: The focus of the interviews was nine purposively selected participants.
6. When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by "or" or "nor," use a
singular verb.
Example: The chairperson or the CEO approves the proposal before proceeding.
7. When a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun
joined by "or" or "nor," the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is closest
to the verb. This is also called the rule of proximity.
Example: The student or the committee members write every day.
Example: The committee members or the student writes every day.
8. The words and phrases "each," "each one," "either," "neither," "everyone,"
"everybody," "anyone," "anybody," "nobody," "somebody," "someone," and "no one"
are singular and require a singular verb.
Example: Each of the participants was willing to be recorded.
Example: Neither alternative hypothesis was accepted.
Example: I will offer a $5 gift card to everybody who participates in the study.
Example: No one was available to meet with me at the preferred times.
Page 3 of 18
Example: Education is the key to success.
Example: Diabetes affects many people around the world.
Example: The information obtained from the business owners was relevant to include in
the study.
Example: The research I found on the topic was limited.
10. Some countable nouns in English such as earnings, goods, odds, surroundings,
proceeds, contents, and valuables only have a plural form and take a plural verb.
Example: The earnings for this quarter exceed expectations.
Example: The proceeds from the sale go to support the homeless population in the city.
Example: Locally produced goods have the advantage of shorter supply chains.
11. In sentences beginning with "there is" or "there are," the subject follows the verb.
Since "there" is not the subject, the verb agrees with what follows the verb.
Example: There is little administrative support.
Example: There are many factors affecting teacher retention.
12. Collective nouns are words that imply more than one person but are considered
singular and take a singular verb. Some examples are "group," "team," "committee,"
"family," and "class."
Example: The committee agrees on the quality of the writing.
However, the plural verb is used if the focus is on the individuals in the group. This is
much less common.
Example: The committee participate in various volunteer activities in their private lives.

bodies make them very attractive. They have been the subject of many books, films
and cartoons all around the world. They have no fear of humans. They nest fearlessly
near explorers without any hesitation. This tendency is perhaps because penguins
have no land predators in Antarctica. But, they are at risk from the leopard seals that
eat them in the seas and oceans. Penguins do not approach people closer than about
three metres at which point they become nervous. Tourists to Antarctica are,
therefore, asked to maintain that distance from penguins.
