EST1501 QUESTION 1: ENGLISH GRAMMAR AND LANGUAGE 

1.1 A subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. A verb is the action word or the state-of-being word in the sentence.

1.2 Two common subject-verb agreement mistakes are: 

1. Using a plural verb with a singular subject(e.g., She go to school instead of She goes to school). 
2. Being confused by intervening words or phrases(e.g., The bouquet of flowers smell nice instead of smells nice).

1.3 Subject: The 
tomatoes Verb: give

1.4 The sentence is incorrect because the subject “many people” is plural, but the verb “was” is singular. It should be: “There were too many people in that hall.”
