subject = red, bold
verb = green, underline

If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular too.

Example: She writes every day.

Exception: When using the singular "they," use plural verb forms.

Example: The participant expressed satisfaction with their job. They are currently in a managerial role at the organization.
