Agreement

Two words are said to be in agreement if one of the words must have the same: gender, case, number, or person as the other one.

Person (first (I, we), second (you) or third (she, he, they))

 

Key point to remember

Verbs must be in agreement with their subjects; adjectives with the nouns they qualify, etc.

Figure of speech: to have an open mind.

This means to be willing to consider new ideas and opinions. Not to have a set mind or be prejudiced or be one sided in one’s view.

Example: The traveller had an open mind about what he would find when he arrived at his destination.
