Hindi Notes Class X English Grammar – “Subject-Verb Agreement”

These Hindi notes are designed to explain the key concepts of Class X English Grammar Topic 36, “Subject-Verb Agreement.” They are essential for students to develop a solid foundation in English grammar.

Definition: Subject-verb agreement refers to the grammatical rule that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or plural).

Basic Rule:

• Singular subjects take singular verbs (e.g., “The boy runs”).
• Plural subjects take plural verbs (e.g., “The boys run”).

Compound Subjects:

• When subjects are joined by ‘and,’ they require a plural verb (e.g., “The cat and dog are playing”).
• When subjects are joined by ‘or’ or ‘nor,’ the verb agrees with the nearest subject (e.g., “Neither the teacher nor the students were ready”).

Exceptions:

• Collective nouns can take singular or plural verbs depending on context (e.g., “The team wins” vs. “The team are arguing among themselves”).

Importance:

• Understanding subject-verb agreement is crucial for constructing grammatically correct sentences, enhancing clarity in writing.

Learning Objective:

• This topic aids students in mastering grammar rules, improving their writing and communication skills.
