Subject-Verb AgreementWhat is subject-verb agreement? While singular subjects take singular verb forms, plural subjects take plural verb forms.     What are the rules for subject-verb agreement in the simple present?   ONE. Be sure to match the verb form with the subject in number. The verb should be singular if the subject is singular.  When the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. Use the –s form of the verb with he, she, and it.   ㆍSingular: The student learns about the journal every day. ㆍPlural: The students learn new journal every day.     TWO. Prepositional phrases comprise a preposition (at, for, by, with, without, in, of, and so on) + an object of the preposition (a noun, noun phrase, pronoun). The object of a preposition can never be the subject.   ㆍThe main products of Korea and Japan are cars and electronics. ㆍThe main product of Korea and Japan is fish.     THREE. Remember that the noun after there is or there are is the subject of the sentence.   ㆍThere is a book on the table. ㆍThere are three reasons for the incident.     FOUR. Pronouns with every-, some, or any- should always be singular as do the nouns with each or every.   ㆍEveryone deserve a happiness. ㆍEvery student needs to be on time for class.      FIVE. Gerunds (-ing words used as a noun) should always be singular.   ㆍDrinking milk is good for your health. ㆍDrinking milk and fruits is good for your health.       Mistakes made by students The pool boiling experiments were conducted 3 times for more exact measurement of CHF on each fabricated samples. → Correction: The

Comma (,) What is comma? A comma (,) is a punctuation mark that represents a short pause and is used to divide parts of a sentence.     Why do you use comma? Basically, a comma is used to SEPARATE information fr|om other parts of the sentence. It is a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence. While a period (.) ends a sentence, a comma indicates a smaller pause.     When do we use comma? The followings are common uses of commas:   ONE. To separate independent clauses, use a comma. Rule: A comma is used to separate two main clauses when there is a coordinating conjunction such as for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so(you can use he mnemonic FANBOYS to help you remember the list). It shows a relationship between clauses.   ㆍThey walked down the street, and then they turned the corner. ㆍYou can go shopping with me,or you can go to a movie alone.   *Source: https://www.iue.edu/student-success/coursework/commas.html       Mistakes made by students The measured CHF values exceeded the roughness-argued CHF prediction and there must be an another parameter to decide the CHF trigger. → Correction: The measured CHF values exceeded the roughness-argued CHF prediction, and   In this study, positive relational affect and task assistance seeking were repeatedly measured for 5 days and each parameter within 5 days was constrained to be equal. → Correction: positive relational affect and task assistance seeking were repeatedly measured for 5 days, and   Data path was transmitted horizontally and clock path was transmitted laterally. → Correction: Data path was transmitted horizontally, and   It utilizes the renewable energy so it can reduce CO2 emissions. → Correction: It utilizes the renewable energy, so   This is because the construction period can be shortened compared to the existing construction methods and the building can be used at an early date. → Correction: the construction period can be shortened compared to the existing construction methods, and       TWO. After an introductory clause or phrase, use a comma Readers are informed by the comma that the introductory clause or phrase has ended and the main body of the sentence is about to start.   ㆍWhen the class started, one of the students had to leave because he forgot to bring his textbook. ㆍNear the lake, many people gathered together to celebrate the holiday.   *Source:https://www.iue.edu/student-success/coursework/commas.html     Mistakes made by students A.
