Subject-Verb Agreement
Definition:
A singular subject (one person, place, thing, or idea) takes a singular verb.
Examples:
1. "The cat sleeps." (The subject "cat" is singular, and the verb "sleeps" is also
singular.)
2. "The teacher is grading papers." (The subject "teacher" is singular, and the verb "is"
is also singular.)
3. "The city is growing rapidly." (The subject "city" is singular, and the verb "is" is also
singular.)
A plural subject (more than one person, place, thing, or idea) takes a plural verb.
Examples:
1. "The cats sleep." (The subject "cats" is plural, and the verb "sleep" is also plural.)
2. "The students are studying for their exams." (The subject "students" is plural, and the
verb "are" is also plural.)
3. "The companies are competing for market share." (The subject "companies" is
plural, and the verb "are" is also plural.)
Some indefinite pronouns (everyone, someone, anyone, nobody) are singular and take a
singular verb.
Examples:
1. "Everyone is invited to the party." (The subject "everyone" is singular, and the verb
"is" is also singular.)
2. "Someone is at the door." (The subject "someone" is singular, and the verb "is" is
also singular.)
3. "Nobody knows the answer." (The subject "nobody" is singular, and the verb "knows"
is also singular.)
Collective nouns (team, family, group) can be singular or plural, depending on the
context.
Examples:
1. "The team is winning the game." (The subject "team" is singular, and the verb "is" is
also singular.)
2. "The family are all going on vacation." (The subject "family" is plural, and the verb
"are" is also plural.)
3. "The committee is making a decision." (The subject "committee" is singular, and the
verb "is" is also singular.)
Phrases or clauses between the subject and verb do not affect the verb agreement.
Examples:
1. "The book, which is on the bestseller list, is a great read." (The subject "book" is
singular, and the verb "is" is also singular.)
2. "The teacher, who has been working hard, is tired." (The subject "teacher" is
singular, and the verb "is" is also singular.)
3. "The company, which has been in business for years, is expanding." (The subject
"company" is singular, and the verb "is" is also singular.)
When two or more subjects are joined by "and," the verb is usually plural.
Examples:
1. "John and Mary are coming over." (The subjects "John" and "Mary" are joined by
"and," and the verb "are" is plural.)
2. "The manager and the employees are working together." (The subjects "manager"
and "employees" are joined by "and," and the verb "are" is plural.)
3. "The book and the movie are both great." (The subjects "book" and "movie" are
joined by "and," and the verb "are" is plural.)
When two or more subjects are joined by "or" or "nor," the verb agrees with the subject
closest to it.
Examples:
1. "Either the manager or the employees are responsible." (The verb "are" agrees with
the plural subject "employees," which is closest to it.)
2. "Neither the teacher nor the students are attending." (The verb "are" agrees with the
plural subject "students," which is closest to it.)
3. "Either the book or the articles are relevant." (The verb "are" agrees with the plural
subject "articles," which is closest to it.)
In inverted sentence structures, the verb agrees with the subject, not the predicate
nominative.
Examples:
1. "There are three books on the shelf." (The subject "books" is plural, and the verb
"are" is also plural.)
2. "There is a meeting at 2 PM." (The subject "meeting" is singular, and the verb "is" is
also singular.)
3. "Here comes the bus." (The subject "bus" is singular, and the verb "comes" is also
singular.)

Clauses
In grammar, a clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. A
clause can be independent or dependent, and it can express a complete thought or a
fragment of a thought.
Definition:
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, and expresses a
complete thought or a fragment of a thought.
Types of Clauses:
There are two main types of clauses: Independent Clauses and Dependent Clauses.
1. Independent Clauses:
An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. It has a
subject and a predicate, and expresses a complete thought.
Examples:
1- I went to the store. (Here, "I" is the subject, and "went to the store" is the predicate.)
2- She ate breakfast. (Here, "She" is the subject, and "ate breakfast" is the predicate.)
2. Dependent Clauses:
A dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It has a
subject and a predicate, but it does not express a complete thought. Dependent clauses
rely on independent clauses to complete their meaning.
Examples:
a. Subordinate Clauses:
Examples:
1- I went to the store because I needed milk. (Here, "because I needed milk" is a
subordinate clause.)
2- She didn't go to the party unless her friends were going. (Here, "unless her friends
were going" is a subordinate clause.)

A relative clause is a dependent clause that begins with a relative pronoun. Relative
pronouns include words like "who," "which," "that," and "whom."
Examples:
1- The book, which is on the table, is mine. (Here, "which is on the table" is a relative
clause.)
2- The woman who lives next door is a doctor. (Here, "who lives next door" is a relative
clause.)
c. Adverbial Clauses:
Examples:
1- When I got home, I realized I had forgotten my keys. (Here, "when I got home" is an
adverbial clause.)
2- Wherever you go, be sure to take your phone. (Here, "wherever you go" is an
adverbial clause.)
PHRASE
A phrase is a group of words that functions as a single unit in a sentence. It does not
have a subject-verb combination, and it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

1. Noun Phrase:
Examples:
1- The big red car (Here, "The big red car" is a noun phrase functioning as the subject
of the sentence.)
2- The teacher gave the students a lot of homework. (Here, "a lot of homework" is a
noun phrase functioning as the direct object of the sentence.)
2. Verb Phrase:
Examples:

or pronoun. It functions as a modifier or complement in a sentence.

verb "is".)
2- The city is located near the beach. (Here, "near the beach" is a prepositional phrase
modifying the verb "is located".)

the base form of the verb). It functions as a modifier or complement in a sentence.
Examples:
1- I want to eat dinner now. (Here, "to eat dinner" is an infinitive phrase functioning as
the direct object of the sentence.)

"having been performed many times before" is a participial phrase modifying the noun
"play".)

Past Participle:
A past participle is a verb form that ends in "-ed" (for regular verbs) or has an irregular

"meal".)
2. The written letter is on the table. (Here, "written" is a past participle modifying the
noun "letter".)
3. The broken toy needs to be fixed. (Here, "broken" is a past participle modifying the
noun "toy"."

1. Form: Present participles end in "-ing", while past participles end in "-ed" (for
regular verbs) or have an irregular form (for irregular verbs).
3. Function: Both present and past participles function as adjectives, modifying nouns
or pronouns.

The impact of climate change on global food systems is a pressing concern. Rising
temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme
weather events are all affecting agricultural productivity and food security. In addition,
climate change is altering the distribution of pests and diseases, further threatening
crop yields.
The consequences of climate change on food systems are far-reaching. Changes in
temperature and precipitation patterns are altering the growing seasons and crop
cycles, leading to reduced yields and lower quality crops. Moreover, climate-related
shocks, such as droughts and floods, are devastating agricultural communities and
exacerbating food insecurity.
To mitigate the effects of climate change on food systems, it is essential to adopt
climate-resilient agricultural practices. This can include using drought-tolerant crop
varieties, implementing conservation agriculture, and promoting agroforestry.
Furthermore, supporting small-scale farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture
can help to build more resilient food systems.
However, addressing the impacts of climate change on food systems will require a
coordinated effort from governments, international organizations, and civil society. This
can involve implementing policies to support climate-resilient agriculture, providing
climate information and early warning systems, and promoting international
cooperation to address the global dimensions of climate change.
A) Climate change
B) Agricultural practices
C) Economic factors
D) Social factors
Correct answer: A)
COMPREHENSION NO:4
The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gained significant attention in recent
years. EI refers to the ability to recognize and understand emotions in oneself and
others, and to use this awareness to guide thought and behavior. Individuals with high
EI are better equipped to manage stress, build strong relationships, and achieve
academic and professional success.
Research has shown that EI is not fixed and can be developed through practice and
training. This has led to the development of EI-based interventions and programs aimed
at improving emotional awareness, self-regulation, and social skills. By incorporating EI
into education and workplace settings, individuals can develop the skills necessary to
excel in both their personal and professional lives.
A) No, EI is fixed
B) Yes, EI can be developed through practice and training
C) Only through formal education
D) Only through workplace training
Correct answer: B
