In order to make a sentence read sensibly, the verb has to agree with the subject.
Read the following examples:
1. A scientist discovers new facts.
Scientists discover new facts.
2. She has a car.
They have cars.
G Generally, the verb is placed very close to its subject. But, sometimes, it is far removed
from its subject. So, we have to be very careful that the two agree with each other.
Read the following example: The price of these shoes is very high.
