Lesson Composing Clear and Coherent Sentences
Using Appropriate Grammatical Structures
1 (Subject-Verb Agreement -Inverted
sentences)
What’s In
Inverted Sentences
Have you ever wondered why Yoda from the movie “Star Wars” talks so funny?
It’s because he’s using inverted sentences. A sentence which the verb comes before the
subject is called “inverted sentence”. This is done to put more emphasis on the verb. To
conjugate the verb in an inverted sentence correctly, you, must identify the subject whether
it is singular or plural.
Examples:
1. In that barn live four horses.
v s
*Sentences that begin with here or there are also inverted. To conjugate the verb correctly
in these sentences, you must correctly identify the correct subject.
What’s New
Verb Subject
1
What is It
Presentation:
Subjects and verbs must agree in number. If the subject is singular, the verb must
be singular too. Example: She writes every day. If the subject is plural, the verb must also
be plural. Example: They write every day.
In inverted sentences the subject follows the verb. The sentence may begin with a
prepositional phrase, the words here or there, or the verb form of do. Certain sentence types
require inverted word order, in which a verb is placed before the subject. These types
include interrogative sentences, conditional clauses without if, and declarative sentences
that begin with negative or restrictive words such as never, rarely, scarcely, hardly ever,
and not only.
Activity 1
Directions: Underline the correct form of the verb inside the parenthesis to make the
sentence correct.
2
What’s More
Directions: Look at the example. Reword the sentences below to make inverted
sentence.
Example: He never shouted at the children.
Answer: Never did he shout at the children.
1. I hardly knew where I was.
Hardly_____________________________________
2. They didn’t speak a word.
Not_____________________________________
3. They seldom danced together.
Seldom_____________________________________
4. I never believe they would come.
Never_____________________________________
5. I little remembered what they said.
Little_____________________________________
6. He seldom comes to see me on Saturdays.
Seldom_____________________________________
7. He hardly turns to say goodbye.
Hardly_____________________________________
8. I have never seen a better one.
Never_____________________________________
9. The smoke was so dense that they fainted.
So_____________________________________
10. He mentioned it to me only yesterday.
Only_____________________________________
Notice that this sentence begins with a prepositional phrase, In her hand. The
phrase is followed by the verb and the subject comes last. Often, it is easier to figure out
correct subject-verb agreement in an inverted sentence by rephrasing it in normal order.
Example: In her hand are two roses. (Now you’ve got it!)

2 (Subject-Verb Agreement - Intervening
Phrases)
What’s In
Intervening Phrases
An intervening phrase is a group of words, not a complete sentence that is added
between the subject and verb of a sentence. ... Intervening phrases often use prepositions
such as to, for, with, including and together. When these words are added to a phrase it is
often referred to as an intervening clause.
Examples:
2. The team captain as well as his player, is anxious.

What’s New
A verb should agree with its subject in number. A singular subject must have a
singular verb and a plural subject must have a plural verb. Intervening phrases and
clauses do not affect subject - verb agreement.

1. The book, including all the chapters in the first section, is boring.

3 (Subject-Verb Agreement – Irregular nouns
and verb agreement)
What’s In
Irregular Nouns
An irregular noun is a noun that becomes plural by changing its spelling in other ways
than adding an “s” or “es” to the end of the word. This change can happen in a variety
of ways.
The Simple Rule For Irregular Nouns
When it comes to other parts of speech Opens in new window, many English nouns are
irregular in nature. This means, they don’t form their plural by the usual addition of an
s–ending. Therefore, when an irregular noun is the subject of a present tense verb, the
decision to implement an s–ending verb is not always an easy one.
9
What’s New
What is It
A singular subject requires a singular verb; a plural subject requires a plural verb.
Irregular verbs do not follow a predictable pattern in their singular and plural forms. Common
irregular verbs are to be, to have, and to do. A compound subject is formed when two or more
nouns are joined by the words and, or, or nor.
