In the study of the English language and any other language, concord simply refers to the agreement existing between the various parts of the sentence.
❤7🔥1
concord is the agreement in gender, case number or person between different words that share reference in a sentence.
A sentence traditionally is divided into a subject and a predicate; where the subject is the performer of the action and the predicate refers to the verb and the other elements that come after it

In the sentence, the subject is the performer of the action or what is being talked about; the action is the predicate in its simplest terms. The two parts (subject and predicate) need to agree for a grammatically correct sentence.
For example:
As you can see above, the teacher and the student are the ones performing the actions of teaching and learning that is why they are the subjects and the action is the predicate in the sentences.
For example:
The teacher /is teaching.
Subject predicate
The student/ is playing
Subject predicate
As you can see above, the teacher and the student are the ones performing the actions of teaching and learning that is why they are the subjects and the action is the predicate in the sentences.

The simple rule in the English language on how agreement is reached between a subject and a predicate is: a singular subject takes a singular predicate and a plural subject takes a plural predicate.

The boy is here
The boys are here
The boy likes to smoke
The boys like to smoke
When the subject boy is singular, the action (predicate) shown by is and likes are also singular; when it is boys, the plural forms of are and like are used.

Now, let us focus on the other rules that govern the subject verb agreement in a sentence. These other rules are more of exceptions to the general rule stated above. This is because the rules that follow are not in conformity to the above rule. And these are the more complex rules.
