Enhances the fluency and correctness
Concord or subject-verb agreement is a fundamental rule in English grammar where the verb in a sentence must agree with its subject in number and person. This agreement ensures clarity and coherence in communication, helping to convey meaning accurately. When subject and verb do not agree, it can lead to confusion or ambiguity in understanding. Mastering subject-verb agreement enhances the fluency and correctness of written and spoken English, making communication more effective and professional. It's a cornerstone of grammatical correctness, reflecting the precision and structure inherent in the English language.
