@shadow

@razor99

Serenity1jacksonsl:

hamidiso23:

do uk this?

hamidiso23:

do I just choose the whole sentence for the whole subject

Serenity1jacksonsl:

either one you think is right

hamidiso23:

would it be

hamidiso23:

Cooper Burbank, the chef, or the housekeeper cooks me a gourmet lunch to take to school.

Vocaloid:

the complete subject performs the action of the sentence in this case, the action is cooking a gourmet lunch. *who* cooks the lunch?

hamidiso23:

cooper

hamidiso23:

chef

hamidiso23:

housekeeper

Vocaloid:

good, so the action is shared between three people the complete subject is, therefore: Cooper Burbank, the chef, or the housekeeper

tnx

hamidiso23:

Shuri ​looks tired from her week-long backpacking trip.

hamidiso23:

instead of looks I would put looked correct

Vocaloid:

what is the question asking? to change to past tense?

hamidiso23:

it says

hamidiso23:

fix any errors with the subject agreement below

hamidiso23:

click submit if there are none

hamidiso23:

it would be looked right

Vocaloid:

I'm not 100% sure but I think in terms of subject-verb agreement, looks is fine? looks vs looked is a matter of tense which I don't think the question is asking for. don't put anything yet, I might ask someone else for their input.

hamidiso23:

ok

Vocaloid:

@umm would you mind taking a look at this one? (the second question, near the bottom)

hamidiso23:

is there anybody else to tag?

umm:

Hi there! Pardon such late response. "The subject of a sentence is the actor/idea of a sentence. The verb is the action or state of being of the subject. Subjects and verbs need to agree in number, which is known as singular or plural. A subject/verb agreement error occurs when the subject and verb of a sentence do not agree in number or line up properly." So looking over what they want you to do with `Shuri ​looks tired from her week-long backpacking trip.` I think it would be fixed up as Shuri looks tired from her week-long backpacking trip.
