Subject verb agreement বাক্যে subject যদি 3rdperson হয় তাহলে verb-এরসাথে s বা es যোগ করতে হয়। এটাই হল subject verb agreement-এর মুল নিয়ম। কিন্তু পরীক্ষায় subject এবং verb এমন ভাবে দেয়া থাকে যে বুঝতে খুব অসুবিধা হয়। যেমন: His grasp of many areas of radio and television technology makes/make it easy for him to find a job. এই বাক্যে verb খুব সহজে বোঝা গেলেও subject বের করতে বেশ সমস্যা হয়। এই বাক্যে subject হল his grasp একটি singular subject তাই verb হবে makes. এখানে subject এবং verbএর মধ্যে একটি prepositional phrase (of many areas in radio and television technology) আছে তাই subject বুঝতে সমস্যা হয়। নিচে subject verb agreement-এর কিছু নিয়ম দেয়া হল। 1.Subject এবং verb এর মাঝে prepositional phrase আসলে তা verb-এর ওপর কোন প্রভাব ফেলে না। Prepositional phrase সাধারণত একটি preposition দিয়ে সুরু হয় এবং একটি noun দিয়ে শেষ হয়। ওপরের বাক্যে at=preposition এবং technology= noun. 1.Either….or, neither….nor, not only….but also ইত্যাদি থাকলে সবচে কাছের subject অনুযায়ী verb হবে। যেমন: neither john nor his brothers have done this. এখানে verb have হয়েছে কারণ সবচে কাছের subject-টি (his brothers) plural. 2.Collective noun-এর (army, jury, and committee) পর সাধারণত verb-এর main form বসে। যেমন: the jury agrees on the verdict. তবে যদি সবাই কোন কাজ একসাথে না করে আলাদা আলাদা ভাবে করে তাহলে verb-এর সাথে s বা es যোগ করতে হবে না। যেমন: the jury disagree on the verdict. এখানে disagree করার কারণে দলটি দুই ভাগে ভাগ হয়ে গিয়েছে। তাই এখানে verb-এর সাথে s বা es যোগ হয় নি। 1.–ics দিয়ে শেষ হয় এমন শব্দ গুলো যদি কোন বিষয় এর নাম বোঝায় তাহলে তার পর verb এর singular form হয়। যেমন: economics is my favorite subject. 1.The number-এর পর singular verb হয় এবং a number-এর পর plural verb হয়। যেমন: a number of students fail every year. The number of students who pass is increasing. 1.Each, every, somebody, everybody, anybody, nobody এই pronoun-গুলর পর singular verb হয়। যেমন: everybody wants to study in Dhaka university. 1.কখনো কখনোSubject এবং verb-এর মাঝে Along with…., together with……. আসতে পারে। কিন্তু verb subject-এর person অনুযায়ী হবে। যেমন: john along with his friends is going to the cinema. এখানে verb-এর আগে plural noun থাকলেও subject (john) অনুযায়ী singular verb হয়েছে।
