This paper examines the critical role of subject-verb agreement in English reading and writing. It argues that grammatical accuracy is essential for clear communication, comprehension, and overall writing quality.The study highlights how consistent exposure to correct grammatical structures in both academic texts and informal online communication can improve learners’ language proficiency. Common difficulties, such as collective nouns, indefinite pronouns, and complex subject phrases, are discussed. Practical strategies, including careful reading, guided practice, and conscious attention to grammar, are proposed to strengthen grammatical awareness and confidence. This analysis is particularly relevant for students aiming to achieve C1-level English proficiency.
