Why would we invert a sentence? Because it gives diversity and variety to writing. S=Subject V=Verb For example: (S) (V) 1.The bearcrawls up the tree. (a simple sentence)
Subject-Verb Agreement in Inverted Sentences In most sentences the subject comes before the verb. However, some inverted sentences begin with a prepositional phrase followed by the verb and then the subject. The verb in such sentences must always agree with the subject, not the object of the prepositional phrase. (V) (S) 1. Up the tree crawls the bear. (V) (S) 2. Up the tree crawl the bears.
Subject-Verb Agreement in Inverted Sentences In sentences that begin with here or there, do not confuse either word with the subject. Look for the subject following the verb. S=Subject V=Verb VS There is a bear in that tree. V S Here come the bears down the tree!
Subject-Verb Agreement in Inverted Sentences Questions are inverted sentences. In such constructions, a helping verb often comes before the subject. S=Subject V=Verb VSV Does the bearlive in a den? VSV Do the bearsfish for salmon?

Lecture (15 minutes) Examples of Collective nouns and proper subject verb agreement. Singular= one Plural= more than one The singular verb and pronoun form is used if they are acting in unison. The class listens (singular verb form) carefully to its (singular pronoun) teacher’s instructions.(Here the class is a unit acting together as one. They are all doing the same thing, listening at the same time.) When the members of the group are acting on their own, use the plural verb and pronoun forms. The class start (plural verb form) their (plural pronoun) projects while the teacher grades their (plural pronoun) papers. (This class is a unit, but they act individually when they work on their projects.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPGT1g_L26w

The cast sign autographs for the audience.

Singular: Mathematics is my favorite subject. Plural: My pants are muddy from the river. Singular: Politics is that professor’s area of expertise. Plural: That candidate’s politics were dirty during the campaign.
