          A.  Subject - Verb Agreement

                The subject of a sentence is either a noun or a pronoun. It is the person or thing that is
              doing something or being talked about.

              The subject is always followed by a verb.

              A singular subject takes a singular verb.

              The pronouns he, she and it take a singular verb.

              Example:  My cousin lives in Bangalore.

                               subject  verb
                A plural subject takes a plural verb. The pronouns I, you, we and they also take a plural
              verb.

              Example:  My cousins live in Bangalore.

                                subject  verb
