Consider the infamous opening of twilight: my mother drove me to the airport with the windows rolled down . Most of the time, people will get most grammar correct by ear. We know this isn"t right, even without the vocabulary to say why. Here, we"ll cover a few of the more confusing grammar rules. 1: subjects must agree in person and number. A singular subject should be accompanied by a singular verb. For example, the phrase my dog (singular subject) loves dog biscuits (singular verb). If the sentence was my dogs love dog biscuits is a plural subject with a plural verb. However, the words each, either, neither, one" and none" take singular verbs.
