Now n' Verb

A Noun is a person place or thing

A Verb is what you do.

In order for nouns and verbs to work together, they must be in agreement. "But words don't talk right?" Well, words communicate in a way that is difficult for me to explain. That is why I have sought the aid of www.esc.edu. They taught me all I needed to know.

Nouns and Verbs are the basic parts of a sentence, the two teammates upon whom all others depend. They need to agree on one major thing:

number
singular (one) or plural (more than one)

For example, the following sentences do not make sense because the nouns and their verbs do not agree in number:

• John and Mary is a couple.
• John are a real estate dealer who make over $67,000.
• Mary are a farmer; she have a little lamb farm and get a good deduction from the government so her family don't get fleeced on their taxes.

But the sentences do make sense when the verbs agree with their nouns in number:

• John and Mary are a couple.
• John is a real estate dealer who makes over $67,000.
• Mary is a farmer; she has a little lamb farm and gets a good deduction from the government, so her family doesn't get fleeced on their taxes.
