FFd G FF Subject/Verb Agreement, Intervening Words and Inverted Order Intervening Words -- To find the correct verb, try this technique. When the subject and the verb are separated by other words between them, cross out those intervening words. Then, match the subject to the verb. For example, look at this sentence: Subj. Verb My brother, as well as my sisters, ( attend, attends) the martial arts dojo. (dojo = school for training in self-defense) You can easily see that "attends" is the correct verb. Under line the subject in each sentence first. Then, choose the correct verb in the following sentences. There are a few other errors as well. Can you find them?

The flavor of Columbian coffees ( is, are) superior to the brews from Siberian beans. BBFN Subject Verb Agreement (continued) Inverted Order -- Sometimes the normal order of a sentence (subject verb) is reversed. Writers do this to add variety to their sentences, and poets sometimes invert the order of sentences, too. For example, look at this sentence: Verb subject In the back of the closet under the shelving ( was, were ) a pair of old shoes. To decide if the verb is "was" or "were," reverse the order of the sentence like this: A pair of old shoes ( was, were ) in the back of the closet under the shelving. Choose the correct verb in the following sentences. There are a few other errors as well. Can you find them? In the refrigerater ( is, are ) an old sandwich and an opened can of soda.
