Can someone tell me about subject verb agreement

English
2 answers:
dem82 [27]3 years ago

Subject verb agreement is when your subject and you verb basically agree. If your subject is singular than your verb also has to be singular.

Example.

DOG= noun subject
CHASES=verb

The DOG CHASES the cat.

In the sentence you are talking about a single dog so it is singular. Because the noun subject is singular the verb then has to be singular. It wouldn't sound right if you had a plural verb with a singular subject.

Example.

DOGS= subject
CHASE= verb

The DOGS CHASE the cat.

Now in this sentence they are talking about more than one dog so it becomes plural. Because the subject is now plural the verb also has to become plural.

Hope this helped!

How does human trafficking affect human rights?​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Human trafficking is not just a heinous crime. On top of being a disgusting criminal activity, it's also violating the rights of human beings in general. It's an outright atrocious violation of the human rights. The people who get trafficked are treated like worthless items by the traffickers. The traffickers trample all over the victims as if they are animals. They make their decisions for them, give them no respect whatsoever, don't let them move freely, and lastly, they don't let the victim choose who they can work for and where they can work at etc. In human trafficking, activities such as child labor, sexual exploitation of minors as well as legals, forced labor, forced bondage as well as marriage take place; these acts are the violation of human rights per se. All the previously mentioned acts and practices are prohibited by the International Law of Human Rights.

Wright about a time u had to keep a secret using two paragraphs
sasho [114]

Answer:People are horrible at keeping secrets. As in, really, really bad at it (no matter what anyone may tell you to the contrary). And you know what? We’re right to be. Just like the two Rhesus Macaques in the picture above, we have an urge to spill the beans when we know we shouldn’t—and that urge is a remarkably healthy one. Resist it, and you may find yourself in worse shape than you’d bargained for. And the secreter the secret, the worse the backlash on your psyche will likely be.

I never much cared for Nathaniel Hawthorne. I first dreaded him when my older sister came home with a miserable face and a 100-pound version of The House of the Seven Gables. I felt my anxiety mount when she declared the same hefty tome unreadable and said she would rather fail the test than finish the slog. And I had a near panic attack when I, now in high school myself, was handed my own first copy of the dreaded Mr. H.

Now, I’ve never been one to judge books by size. I read War and Peace cover to cover long before Hawthorne crossed my path and finished A Tale of Two Cities (in that same high school classroom) in no time flat. But it was something about him that just didn’t sit right. With trepidation bordering on the kind of dread I’d only ever felt when staring down a snake that I had mistaken for a tree branch, I flipped open the cover.

Luckily for me, what I found sitting on my desk in tenth grade was not my sister’s old nemesis but The Scarlet Letter. And you know what? I survived. It’s not that the book became a favorite. It didn’t. And it’s not that I began to judge Hawthorne less harshly. After trying my hand at Seven Gables—I just couldn’t stay away, could I; I think it was forcibly foisted on all Massachusetts school children, since the house in question was only a short field trip away—I couldn’t. And it’s not that I changed my mind about the writing—actually, having reread parts now to write this column, I’m surprised that I managed to finish at all (sincere apologies to all Hawthorne fans). I didn’t.

But despite everything, The Scarlet Letter gets one thing so incredibly right that it almost—almost—makes up for everything it gets wrong: it’s not healthy to keep a secret.

I remember how struck I was when I finally understood the story behind the letter – and how shocked at the incredibly physical toll that keeping it secret took on the fair Reverend Dimmesdale. It seemed somehow almost too much. A secret couldn’t actually do that to someone, could it?
