Subject-Verb Agreement:    The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. Singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural verbs.
Example: "She has a cat" (singular subject with singular verb).
Tenses:    Tense indicates the time of an action. Ensure correct verb forms are used to reflect the correct tense (present, past, future).
Example: "She went to the store" (past tense).
Quick learning tip:    Always double-check your verbs for agreement with the subject. Also, make sure that you are using the correct tense to reflect when an action took place.

Exercise 5 – Sample Answer (Paragraph)    

An Amazing Adventure  
Last summer, I had an amazing adventure when I went camping in the mountains with my family. The weather was perfect, and we spent the days hiking through beautiful forests and climbing to the top of the highest peak. At night, we sat around the campfire, telling stories and roasting marshmallows. The next day, we went fishing by the lake and saw a deer drinking water. I can’t wait to go back next year. It was truly an unforgettable experience!
