Subject-Verb Agreement Homework: Fill & Download for Free

When I was in college, my freshman English professor had the craziest of systems I had ever seen. It was basically as follows, regarding written assignments:Comma splice -10ptsRun-on sentence -10 ptsSpelling error -10 ptsPunctuation error -5 ptsSubject Verb Agreement error -10ptsTense agreement -10 ptsVagueness -10 ptsCitation in the wrong format -25ptsand there were a few others.And each instance of the error was deducted; so, let’s say you had your citation in the wrong format (even if a parenthesis was off or a period in the wrong place under MLA format, it would be considered wrong by him!), you are at the minimum to pass the paper. Add a punctuation error, and you failed. He was THAT hard core.*****Edit: I should note that I had the chairperson of the English department review my papers before I dropped the class, and he said that, after his review and the way he would have graded them, I should have had absolutely no problem getting at least a B. The professor was given a “light schedule” after that semester for the next three years, and retired at the end of my senior year. I never had him again.*****As to the final grading:A = 95 - 100B - 85–95C= 75 - 85F = below 75(He didn’t give D’s.)The crazy loon actually allowed negative points! I dropped the class after realizing that he hated me, and that there was absolutely no chance I could pass the class. By the second paper, I already had (seriously!) -150 pts. We had eight more papers. I would have needed to get 100% on ALL of them in order to even hope for a C.After college, I taught high school for two years. I made it next to impossible for my students to fail their classes. I was much like the teacher in “Dangerous Minds.” “You start the class with an A; it is your job to keep it.”My grading policy was:Attendance and Participation: 35%Homework: 35%Tests: 20%Quizzes: 10%So, if you came to class, participated, and did your homework, you could pass, even with a zero on every test and quiz. Ironically, I had a few students who were failing because they refused to do homework or participate. So, I guess my grading scheme was kind of crazy, also.

Another homework question! I won’t answer, but I will point out it that the question is ungrammatical due to the lack of subject-verb agreement. It should read either:Amoebae move by…OrThe amoeba moves by…So, if you don’t know the answer, tell your instructor, “I don’t know. But I do know that ‘Amoeba’ is singular and ‘Amoebae’ is the correct plural form.”

Both the sentences are incorrect. In these sentences the rule of syntax or subject -verb agreement has been violated .If two singular nouns are joined with neither … nor , it takes singular verb . Therefore , its correct structure would be :Neither John nor Sara has done her homework .The determination of the gender of determiner depends on the second subject of the sentence. Here Sara , a feminine gender , is the second noun , therefore ' her' is logical to be used before Homework . Some of the English writers prefer to use ' their ' instead of ' her' .
