Agreement of the subject and verb in a sentence Another common grammatical problem. Agreement simply means if the subject of the sentence is singular then its associated verb needs to be singular to match it, and vice versa with plurals. Look at this example. The group s strength lies in its commitment to the visitor industry. The group s strength lies in its commitment to the visitor industry.
All apostrophes indicate that something has been missed out.
A long time ago the English language was used very differently to the way it s used now. Some nouns have plurals that don t end in s , e.g., children . I ve got a week s holiday. I ve got six weeks holiday. They want 48 hours notice.
