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."
Dear Diary,
It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.
I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.
I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.
I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.
It certainly is. Routine at work can lead to monotony, when we constantly repeat already well-learned actions. Routine can make us somehow sure, but not too much. Security arising from routine over time becomes a cause of lack of motivation, and therefore a loss of sharpness. Sometimes we think it's better not to face new challenges, as this could lead to mistakes that can cost us at work. It is desirable to try new things, not only when it is ordered from higher instances, but also on our own initiative, because this promotes our creativity, we become more motivated, happier, and most importantly, more productive, which goes directly to our advantage. This makes us more mobile and, of course, sharper, which is much closer to human nature, which wants to explore. Let us make mistakes, but they are an integral part of our sharpness.
