• Do you say it this way?

2
A sentence must have a subject and verb that go
together.
3
Subject-verb problems occur when the subject is
singular and the verb is plural, or when the
subject is plural and the verb is singular.

• For example, in the sentence, "John eat
  vegetables," John, the subject, is singular.
  Eat, the verb, is plural. We can replace "eat"
  with "eats."

What do you mean? Agree?

• When we talk about subject-verb agreement, we're
  talking about matching subjects and verbs
  according to number.

What do you mean? Agree?

  boy plays. When you have a plural subject, you
  must have a plural verb form The boys play.
