Subject-verb agreement
الاتفاق بين الفاعل والفعل
A subject may be a noun(Ali,a student,the book,..)or a pronoun(he ,I,we
يمكن للفاعل ان يكون اسم او ضمير
there must be an agreement between a subject and a verb in the sentence.
If the subject is singular ,the verb should be alike
يجب ان يكون الفعل موافق للفاعل,فاذا كان الفاعل مفرد يكون الفعل كذلك وهكذا
Ex:
-My friend lives in Egypt.
the subject is singular,and the verb takes (s)of the simple present tense.
-The ideas in the book are interesting.
The subject is plural ,it takes no s(simple present tense)
-He has a car/we have a car
A singular pronoun takes "has",while a plural pronoun takes" have"
Uncountable nouns are used as singular nouns
الاسماء التى لا تعد تعامل معاملة المفرد
Ex:

Expressions of quantity:
Some of+singular noun+singular verb
some of+plural noun+plural verb
a lot of+singular noun+singular verb
a lot of +plural ..+plural verb
(it depends on the kind of word after the expression of quantity)
Ex:

A lot of my friends are here.
A lot of the equipment is new.
one of/each of/every one of+plural noun+singular verb
