2. Global Education project in class 

3. Subject - verb agreement 

·        Basic rule: The verb must agree with the subject in number and in person.

·        Rule 01: Do not let a phrase between the subject and the verb trick you. The subject is what the verb agrees with, not a noun or pronoun in the phrase.

• Rule 02: If one subject is singular and the other is plural and they are connected by the words or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, and not only/but also, use the subject that is closest to the verb

·        Rule 03: If a sentence starts with "there" or "here," the subject will always come after the verb.

·        Rule 04: The indefinite pronouns "each," "each one," "either," "neither," "everyone," "everybody," "anyone," "anyone," "nobody," "somebody," "someone," and "no one" are all singular and need a singular verb.

·        Rule 05: The indefinite pronouns "both", "few", "fewer" , "many", "others" , and "several" are all plural and require a plural verb
