Can you give an example of subject - verb agreement in a short story?

Read each sentence carefully. Look at the subject (who or what is doing the action). If it's singular like 'a girl', the verb should be in the singular form like 'walks'. If it's plural such as 'the girls', then the verb should be plural like 'walk'.

Sure. Once upon a time, a little boy played (past simple) in the park every day. He has played (present perfect) there since he was three years old. One day, he will play (future simple) a new game with his friends in that park.

I'm not quite sure. It depends on the specific context and who the subject is.

It could be based on real events or experiences that the subject shared. Maybe it's a fictional account inspired by something they mentioned.

It's hard to say exactly without more context. The subject might have told a funny incident and used the verb 'recount'. Or perhaps it was a sad event and the verb was 'lament'.

It depends on the specific context. Sometimes the subject provides detailed descriptions, while in other cases, it might just give a brief mention.

A short fictional story could be this. In a far - off land, there was a wizard named Merlin. He had a small, but very special, cottage. One night, a shooting star landed near his cottage. From the star emerged a tiny fairy. The fairy was lost and Merlin decided to help her find her way back home. However, a group of evil goblins wanted to capture the fairy for her magic. Merlin had to use his powerful spells to protect the fairy and send her safely back to her own realm.

Sure. Consider a short story where a small cloud decides to leave the sky formation and go on its own adventure. This story doesn't really have a traditional plot structure. It's more about the cloud's random experiences as it drifts through different landscapes. It's a stray short story because it's different from the usual stories about clouds that are often related to weather forecasting or children's stories about friendly clouds in a more structured way.

One example could be a story where a farmer is digging in his field and unearths a mysterious box. Inside the box are old letters that reveal a long - lost family secret. This short story would revolve around the farmer's discovery while digging and how it changes his understanding of his family's history.

Once upon a time, there was a man who could fly, but only on Tuesdays. And every Tuesday, he would fly to the moon to have tea with the moon rabbits. However, the moon rabbits only served him hot chocolate instead. It was a very strange and absurd short story.
