When we say or write sentences we must make sure that subject and verb agree.
What does that mean?
Subject and verb
The verb in a sentence is the word that shows action or being.
The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that's doing the action, or being something.
To find them, ask "Who or what is doing the action?" for the subject and "What action or state of being is happening?" for the verb. For example, in "Maya kicks the ball," Maya is the subject and kicks is the verb.
