A subject-verb agreement error
occurs when the number (whether or not something is singular or plural) of the
subject does not “agree” with the number of the verb. For instance, if a subject is singular, the verb
should be singular as well, and this is known as “agreeing.” If the subject is singular, but the verb is
plural, then this is known as a subject-verb agreement error (or subject-verb
disagreement). Below, the agreement
errors have been corrected to the proper number and appear in bold.
"This new technology is for everyone and will revolutionize the lives of millions of ordinary commuters. Cheaper than concrete or tarmac but just as durable, the new cycling paths absorb light and re-emit it when they sense that it is required. They're one hundred percent environmentally-friendly. The inventor, however, is less forthcoming when our conversation turns to how the product actually works. Despite a barrage of questions, the only thing he will admit to is that the key to this techno-wonder is a combination of recycled tires (what else?) and a specially formulated light-emitting powder that charges during the day and glows at night."
The meadow which was covered with yellow, blue and white flowers was a beautiful sight. The native grasses were thriving because the whole area, barring only the pasture had become a registered nature reserve. In fact, it was so pretty that i tried to take a picture, but when i saw that, my phone battery had died. Disappointed, i walked back to the hotel to recharge it.

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.
One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.
Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.
Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
