Look out for Subject Verb Agreement on the SAT

Subject-Verb Agreement is the most commonly tested error on the Error-Identification section of the SAT, and you should always be actively looking for disagreements.

Whenever you encounter a sentence that includes underlined verb in the present tense, you should always start by checking its subject.

Remember, though, that subjects and verbs are rarely placed next to one another. Usually there will be some form of distractor clause between them, either a parenthetical clause (e.g. The bill, which has received support from many senators, are expected to be passed today) or a prepositional phrase (The bill proposed by the senators are expected to be passed today).
