Double-check -- are you looking for the improper or proper S/V agreement. There are 3 properly written sentences plus 1 improperly written question.
sentence 4 is incorrect; all the others are correct
To determine which of the sentences have proper subject-verb agreement, we need to ensure that the subject and verb agree in number. Here's how we can analyze each sentence:
1. The subject of this sentence is "The student." The verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "student." Therefore, this sentence has proper subject-verb agreement.
2. The subject of this sentence is "The group of fans." Here, the singular verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "group." Therefore, this sentence also has proper subject-verb agreement.
3. The subject of this sentence is "The teams." The plural verb "meet" agrees with the plural subject "teams." Hence, this sentence has proper subject-verb agreement.
4. The subject of this sentence is "The cheerleading group." However, the verb "are" does not agree with the singular subject "group." To achieve proper subject-verb agreement, the verb should be changed to the singular form "is." Thus, this sentence does not have proper subject-verb agreement.
In summary, sentences 1, 2, and 3 have proper subject-verb agreement, while sentence 4 does not.
