"ALWAYS" CONCORD

Concord, also known as subject-verb agreement, means that a subject and its verb must always match in number: singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural verbs. The word "always" is just an adverb of frequency and does not change these core rules.

RULES OF CONCORD WITH "ALWAYS"

Singular Subjects: Use a singular verb when the subject is singular, even if "always" is placed right next to it. Example: "He always walks to school."

Plural Subjects: Use a plural verb when the subject is plural. Example: "They always walk to school."

Present Tense: Add an "-s" or "-es" to the verb only when the subject is third-person singular (he, she, it). Example: "She always arrives early."
