Preparing a grammar lesson on subject-verb agreement for intermediate ESL students
This English grammar mind map, based on 旋元佑's grammar book, covers subject-verb agreement with 103 nodes across 14 major branches. It systematically addresses tricky cases like collective nouns ('The police is working on this case' vs. 'The police are here'), quantifiers ('None of the meat was left' vs. 'None of the restaurants were open'), and correlative conjunctions ('Either my father alone or both my parents are coming'). The template serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for learners and teachers, organizing rules into clear categories such as '單數型用複數動詞' (singular-form nouns taking plural verbs) and '複數型用單數動詞' (plural-form nouns taking singular verbs). Each branch includes authentic example sentences to illustrate usage, making it a practical reference for mastering subject-verb agreement in English.
