Definitions, Examples, Techniques, and Tips 

- Subject-verb agreement: Ensures that the subject and the verb in a sentence agree in number (singular/plural). For example: 
- Correct: "She runs fast." 
- Incorrect: "She run fast." 
- Verb tense consistency: Tenses should remain consistent throughout a sentence or passage. For instance: 
- Correct: "He was eating dinner when I called him." 
- Incorrect: "He ate dinner when I called him." 
- Modals: These auxiliary verbs (can, may, should, etc.) are used to express possibility, necessity, or ability. For example: 
- "She can sing very well." 
- Incorrect: "She can sings very well." 
- Conditionals: These sentences discuss hypothetical situations and their outcomes. For example: 
- Correct: "If I had known, I would have helped." 
- Incorrect: "If I will have known, I would have helped."
