Here
are
three
common
verb
tenses:
•
Past
tense
(happened
in
the
PAST)
Example:

a
movie
yesterday.
•
Present

watching
a
movie
right
now.
•
Future
tense
(will

in
the

Subject
/
Verb
Agreement
The
subject
of
a
sentence
is
the
person,
place,
thing,
or
idea
that
the
sentence
is
about.
What
is
Subject/Verb
Agreement?
•
Singular
subjects
need
singular
verbs.
Example:
The
man
is
looking
at
his
watch.
•
Plural
subjects
need
plural
verbs.
Example:
The
men
are
looking
at
their
watches.
•
So
the
SUBJECT
must
agree
with
the
VERB
in
a
sentence.

the
place
of
a
noun.
