Subject and verb agreement.


It is sometimes difficult for younger students to understand what is that thing called Subject and verb agreement, especially because at schools, we do not have enough time to practice on this. The ideal way would be to practise orally many times until they internalize it. Fortunately, we still have internet to practise on their own at home.
First, a brief explanation:

Reference words: Personal pronouns and adjectives.

Wordle: PRONOUNS

When reading a text or writing it, we must be aware of how important it is to understand and establish quality relationships between its words, that is, we have to make a good work with reference words. In this post, I will only deal with subject and object personal pronouns, the possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns.
There are some aspects that we should always remember:
  • Pronouns substitute nouns, adjectives do not!
  • Depending on "the job"of the noun, it should be replaced by a subject (before the verb) or object pronoun (after verbs or prepositions).
  • Possessive adjectives say who owns the noun, whose it is.
  • Possessive pronouns say who owns what has already been mentioned and are not accompanied by a noun.
If you want to see a very clear chart of these reference words go to Teaching English by Fran.
