The children goes to bed later durning the summer, Fiona and Robert is riding the bus to the park this afternoon, They washes the car on sunny weekend days,Victor plays the piano almost every afternoon.I picked D, please help..

let's look at each sentence

1) plural subject and singular verb

2) plural subject and singular verb

3) plural subject and singular verb

4) ?? subject and ?? verb

Wow! It's hard to tell what's what in here. Holy smoke!

A. The children goes to bed later durning the summer,

B. Fiona and Robert is riding the bus to the park this afternoon,

C. They washes the car on sunny weekend days,

D. Victor plays the piano almost every afternoon.

Yes, the last one is correct.

The subject and verb should match. A plural subject requires a plural form of the verb, singular to singular. "He is blond." "They are blond." "Robert and Elizabeth are brother and sister." "Robert is Elizabeth's brother." Is is singular, are is plural. In these examples, "Victor plays the piano..." is correct. If it was "They play the piano...", "plays" would be wrong.

I am. He is. They are.

I play. She plays. They play.

Confusing? Yep, sometimes you just have to know.

To determine which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement, we need to ensure that the subject and the verb are properly matched in terms of number. In other words, a singular subject should be paired with a singular verb, while a plural subject should be paired with a plural verb.

Let's analyze the options:

A) "The children goes to bed later during the summer."
In this sentence, the subject is "children," which is plural. However, the verb "goes" is singular, which creates a disagreement. The correct form should use the plural verb "go" to match the subject. Therefore, this is not the correct sentence.

B) "Fiona and Robert is riding the bus to the park this afternoon."
In this sentence, the subject is "Fiona and Robert," which is plural. However, the verb "is" is singular, which creates a disagreement. The correct form should use the plural verb "are" to match the subject. Therefore, this is not the correct sentence.

C) "They washes the car on sunny weekend days."
In this sentence, the subject is "They," which is plural. However, the verb "washes" is singular, which creates a disagreement. The correct form should use the plural verb "wash" to match the subject. Therefore, this is not the correct sentence.

D) "Victor plays the piano almost every afternoon."
In this sentence, the subject is "Victor," which is singular. The verb "plays" is also singular, matching the subject in number. Therefore, this is the correct sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement.

Based on this analysis, you have correctly chosen sentence D as the one that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement.
