Subject-verb agreement happens in the simple present tense when the subject is a third person (a He, a She, or an It) and the verb is added an S, an ES, or IES to the ending of such verb, for example:
My Father <u>works</u> in a Bank. Subject + VerbS
In this case the verb is added an S because the subject “my father” is a “HE” and by having that done, there is a subject-verb agreement.
Joy <u>study </u>really hard every time she has exams. Subject + Verb
In this case the verb has no change even though the subject is a SHE, in this case there IS NOT subject-verb agreement for the verb stays with no change when there must be one.
