Subject-Verb Agreement in Galician grammar is an essential aspect of learning the language. Just like in English, the subject of a sentence must agree with the verb in terms of number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third). In Galician, verbs are conjugated according to the subject to show agreement. Ensuring correct subject-verb agreement helps your sentences sound clear and accurate.
