📌 Subject-Verb Agreement
जब हम कोई sentence बोलते या लिखते हैं, तो उसका subject (कर्ता) और verb (क्रिया) आपस में मेल खाते होने चाहिए। अगर subject singular है, तो verb भी singular होनी चाहिए। अगर subject plural है, तो verb भी plural। इसी मेल को कहते हैं — Subject-Verb Agreement.

- ✅ The boys like to play football. → (Plural boys → like)

❓ FAQs – Subject–Verb Agreement
Q1. Subject–Verb Agreement क्या होता है?
👉 Subject–Verb Agreement का मतलब है कि वाक्य में जो Subject (कर्ता) है, उसी के अनुसार Verb (क्रिया) का रूप बदलना चाहिए। यानी अगर Subject singular है तो verb भी singular होगी और अगर Subject plural है तो verb plural होगी। जैसे—He plays cricket. (वह क्रिकेट खेलता है) और They play cricket. (वे क्रिकेट खेलते हैं)।
Q2. Subject–Verb Agreement क्यों ज़रूरी है?
👉 यह English grammar का basic rule है जो sentence को grammatically correct बनाता है। अगर subject और verb में agreement नहीं होगा तो वाक्य गलत लगेगा और अर्थ अस्पष्ट हो सकता है। सही Subject–Verb Agreement से आपकी writing और speaking दोनों professional और natural लगती हैं।
Q3. Singular और Plural Subject में Verb कैसे बदलती है?
👉 अगर subject singular है तो verb में “s/es” जोड़ते हैं (Present Simple में)। जैसे—She writes a letter. लेकिन अगर subject plural है तो verb बिना “s/es” के आती है—They write letters. यही rule Subject–Verb Agreement की नींव है।
Q4. Collective Nouns के साथ Subject–Verb Agreement कैसे होता है?
👉 Collective nouns (team, family, crowd) singular और plural दोनों की तरह behave कर सकते हैं। अगर group को एक unit की तरह देख रहे हैं तो singular verb आएगी—The team is winning. और अगर individuals पर जोर है तो plural verb—The team are arguing among themselves.
Q5. Indefinite Pronouns के साथ Verb कैसे use करें?
👉 Pronouns जैसे everyone, someone, each, anybody हमेशा singular माने जाते हैं, इसलिए singular verb आती है। जैसे—Everyone is ready. लेकिन pronouns जैसे few, many, several plural माने जाते हैं और plural verb लेते हैं—Many are absent today.
Q6. “Either/Neither” और “Or/Nor” वाले subjects के साथ verb कैसे लगती है?
👉 जब दो subjects “or” या “nor” से जुड़े हों तो verb उस subject के अनुसार होगी जो verb के पास है। उदाहरण—Neither the teacher nor the students are in the class. (Verb plural क्योंकि students plural हैं)।
Q7. Fractions और Amounts के साथ Subject–Verb Agreement कैसे करें?
👉 Fractions, percentages और money expressions में verb इस पर depend करता है कि noun singular है या plural। जैसे—One-third of the cake is left. बनाम One-third of the students are absent.
Q8. Inverted sentences (There/Here से शुरू होने वाले) में verb कैसे आती है?
👉 Inverted sentences में verb subject के बाद आती है और subject के number के अनुसार ही verb चुनी जाती है। जैसे—There is a book on the table. (singular subject = book) और There are many books on the table. (plural subject = books)।
Q9. Subject–Verb Agreement सीखते समय students सबसे ज़्यादा कहाँ गलती करते हैं?
👉 अक्सर students singular subject के साथ plural verb लगा देते हैं और plural subject के साथ singular verb। इसके अलावा, indefinite pronouns और collective nouns के साथ गलतियाँ आम हैं। Practice और examples पढ़कर इन्हें आसानी से avoid किया जा सकता है।
Q10. Subject–Verb Agreement को याद रखने का आसान तरीका क्या है?
👉 Trick: हमेशा subject के number (singular/plural) पर focus करें। Singular subject → singular verb, Plural subject → plural verb। कुछ special cases (collective nouns, either/or, fractions) को अलग से याद करें। Regular practice और examples लिखकर revise करने से यह rule आपके subconscious में set हो जाएगा।
