• predicate: what the subject is doing (action)

subject - ends in -s
verb - does not end in -s
multiple singular subjects
\and\ - plural verb form
\or\ - verb should agree with the nearest subject
exceptions

• collective nouns: words that act as a singular noun while representing a

group

• indefinite pronouns: pronouns that do not explicitly denote a number of

subjects

• some singular subjects end in the word s but are not plural. (e.g., \politics\)

which sentence has correct subject-verb
greement?
the robots is taking over.
samantha were an actress.
connie is a supermodel.

Explanation:

• For "The robots is taking over", "robots" is plural (ends in -s), so the verb should be "are" (plural verb form).
• For "Samantha were an actress", "Samantha" is singular (doesn't end in -s), so the verb should be "was" (singular verb form).
• For "Connie is a supermodel", "Connie" is singular (doesn't end in -s) and the verb "is" (ends in -s, singular verb form) matches.

Answer:

Connie is a supermodel.
