A student should be careful about the subject-verb agreement in the sentences. For example, go through the below conversation;

So first question, what is meant by subject verb agreement in one line;
Subjects and verbs must in line with one another in as far as singularity and plurality is concerned. Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.
There are non-essential clauses in the sentences which tend to confuse the student. For example;
Mr. Aashish, who is my cousin, come to my house late in the night. (Incorrect)
Mr. Aashish, who is my cousin, comes to my house late in the night. (Correct)
[“Who is my cousin” is the non-essential clause]
