You might find it strange that I'm doing a blog post on something as simple as this. But believe me when I say that even a topic as basic as subjects agreeing with their verbs are easier to get wrong than you might suspect.

This is Grammer a Week, the periodic blog program-thing where I address a frequently broken grammar rule and tell you how to fix it.
