I. SUBJECT & VERB AGREEMENT
Please remember that subject and verb in a sentence must agree with each other.
Example:
The elevator works very well. (singular)
The elevators work very well. (plural)
1. Subject separated from the verb:
­ In English, subject and verb are often separated from each other. English learners have a bit difficulty to decide exactly how they are agreed in person and number.
Example:
The boys in the room (is or are) watching TV

Subject + [prepostional phrase] + verb
More Examples:
- Several theories on this subject have been proposed.
- The study of languages is very interesting.
- The view of these disciplines varies from time to time.
- The danger of forest fires is not to be taken lightly.

Example:
- The actress, along with her manager and some friends, is going to a party tonight.
- Mr. Robbins, accompanied by his wife and children, is arriving tonight.
