What is a subject-verb split?

A subject-verb split, also known as a subject-verb disagreement or subject-verb agreement error, occurs when the subject and verb in a sentence do not agree in number or person. This means that the subject and verb do not match in terms of singular or plural form, or they do not match in terms of first, second, or third person.
