Mini Lesson:
Recently several students have demonstrated that they could use a review on the grammar concept: subject verb agreement.
Here is a common example of an error made by students:
"Him and his father ran a race."
This is a problem because Him and ran don't agree with each other. They sound funny.
Check: Him ran a race?
Nope.
But if you change Him to he, you will see the difference.
Check: He ran a race?
Yup.
So....
Better: He and his father ran a race.
