Which sentence demonstrates correct subject verb agreement?
Most of the students attend the pep rally.
Most of the teachers attends the pep rally.
Most of the school attend the pep rally.
Most other teams attends the pep rally.
Most of the students attend the pep rally.
The correct sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement is:
"Most of the students attend the pep rally."
The sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement is: "Most of the students attend the pep rally."
To determine correct subject-verb agreement, we need to ensure that the subject (in this case, "most of the students") matches the verb ("attend") in terms of number. In this sentence, the subject is plural ("students") and the verb is also plural ("attend"), which makes it a correct example of subject-verb agreement.
Let's analyze the other options and explain why they are incorrect:
- "Most of the teachers attends the pep rally." In this sentence, the subject ("most of the teachers") is plural, but the verb ("attends") is singular. The correct verb form for the plural subject would be "attend," so this option does not demonstrate subject-verb agreement.
- "Most of the school attend the pep rally." In this sentence, the subject ("most of the school") is incorrect because "school" is a singular noun and cannot be used as a plural subject. It should be "most of the students" or "most of the schools" to match the plural verb "attend."
- "Most other teams attends the pep rally." In this sentence, the subject ("most other teams") is plural, but the verb ("attends") is in the singular form. The correct verb form for the plural subject would be "attend," so this option does not demonstrate subject-verb agreement either.
