Grammar Series 6: Agreement

If your nouns, verbs, and pronouns don’t agree, your reader will probably find your sentences hard to understand. That’s because these parts of speech can all be affected by number (singular or plural) and gender (male or female). This unique program will help you master the “art of agreement” so your sen-tences will be error-free and easy to follow!

Before you begin studying, let us make a few recom-mendations. First, have a notebook and pen ready so you’re prepared to take notes. You’ll probably want to use the many on-screen graphics to take notes for yourself – when you’re done, you’ll have a notebook on English grammar that you can refer back to again and again.

Secondly, don’t forget to take advantage of your “pause” button while viewing the program. This will allow you to try to complete the exercises in this study guide before you view the answers on-screen.

Finally, don’t try to absorb too much at one time. By viewing the program over a number of short sessions (instead of all at once), you’ll stay “fresher” and retain more of what you learn. And don’t forget: you can review the entire program, or specific sections, as many times as you need to!
Now you can eliminate embarrassing mistakes from your speaking and writing forever. Let Video Aided Instruction be your guide!

Lesson 3 – Pronoun-Antecedent Agreement
• ERRATUM NOTICE •
In early releases of this product, the instructor misspeaks when he gives the example “Many of the women were waiting for their husbands.” This example should have read: “Most of the women were waiting for their husbands.” “Most” is a plural pronoun here because “women” is plural, and thus the sentence requires the plural verb “were” and the plural possessive pronoun “their.” “Most” is one of the indefinite “SANAM” pronouns; “many” is not. The graphic that accom-panies this example also includes the mistake, which was due to a typographical error in the script. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this error may cause.
