Inverted Order • Remember that the subject does not always appear at the beginning of a sentence. • Sentences that begin with all or part of the predicate rather than the subject are in inverted order. • Subject-verb agreement can be tricky in this type of sentence. • First identify the subject of a sentence. Then make the verb agree with the subject.

Interrupted Order • The noun closest to the verb is not always the subject of the sentence. • A subject is in interrupted order when other words come between the subject and the verb. • Identify the subject carefully and then make the verb agree. • Remember to use a singular verb with a singular subject and a plural verb with a plural subject. • Often exhibits on only one subject fill an entire museum. • A guide to museum exhibits is in the library.
