Question
Fix any errors with subject-verb agreement below. Click "Submit Answer" if there are none.
There are cookies on Sonic the Hedgehog's kitchen counter.
Solution
The sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject "cookies" is plural, so the verb should also be plural.
Correction
- Original: There is cookies on Sonic the Hedgehog's kitchen counter.
- Corrected: There are cookies on Sonic the Hedgehog's kitchen counter.
Explanation
In English, verbs must agree in number with their subjects. When the subject is singular, a singular verb form is used (e.g., "is"), and when the subject is plural, a plural verb form is used (e.g., "are"). In this case, "cookies" is the subject of the sentence, and because it is plural, we need to use "are" instead of "is." Thus, the correct form of the sentence reflects proper subject-verb agreement.
