Subject-verb agreement

Some of us tend to be careless when we choose the verb for a subject.

For instance,

John and Mary is playful. [This is WRONG]

The correct answer should be John and Mary are playful.

When you see an arrow from the verb to the subject (nouns) is drawn in your worksheets with a 'SA' written on it, you know that you have made a Subject-verb agreement mistake.

Practice it here though the questions are a bit difficult.
