=== Structure of the Lesson ===


== The Importance of Subject-Verb Agreement ==
1. Overview of Subject Pronouns


Subject-verb agreement is a fundamental aspect of grammar in any language, including Northern Uzbek. It ensures that the subject of a sentence and the corresponding verb are properly matched in terms of person, number, and gender. This agreement is crucial for conveying accurate information and maintaining clarity in communication.

== Subject-Verb Agreement with Personal Pronouns ==
4. Practice Exercises


In Northern Uzbek, personal pronouns are used to represent specific individuals or groups of people. These pronouns play a crucial role in subject-verb agreement, as the verb form changes depending on the pronoun used as the subject. Let's explore the different subject pronouns and their corresponding verb forms in Northern Uzbek.
5. Detailed Solutions and Explanations


=== Singular Subject Pronouns ===
== Overview of Subject Pronouns ==


In Northern Uzbek, there are three singular subject pronouns: "Men" (I), "Siz" (you), and "U" (he/she/it). Each of these pronouns requires a specific verb form to maintain subject-verb agreement. Let's look at some examples:
In Northern Uzbek, subject pronouns are used to indicate who is performing the action of the verb. Here are the basic subject pronouns:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
! Northern Uzbek !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Men kitob olaman  || [men kiˈtob oˈlɑmɑn] || I read a book
 
| men || men || I
 
|-
|-
| Siz ishlayapsiz  || [siz iʃlɑˈjɑpsiːz] || You work
 
| sen || sen || you (singular)
 
|-

| U o'qiydi  || [u oˈqiːdi] || He/she/it reads
 
| u || u || he/she/it
 
|-
 
| biz || biz || we
 
|-
 
| siz || siz || you (plural/formal)
 
|-
 
| ular || ular || they
 
|}
|}


=== Plural Subject Pronouns ===
It's essential to remember these pronouns because they will help you in forming sentences correctly.
 
=== Subject-Verb Agreement Rules ===


In Northern Uzbek, there are two plural subject pronouns: "Biz" (we) and "Sizlar" (you all). Like the singular pronouns, these plural pronouns also require specific verb forms. Let's see some examples:
In Northern Uzbek, verbs change form based on the subject pronoun used. Here’s how it works:
 
* '''Singular Subjects''':
 
* "men" (I) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-man'''.
 
* "sen" (you) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-san'''.
 
* "u" (he/she/it) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-dir''' or '''-mi'''.
 
* '''Plural Subjects''':
 
* "biz" (we) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-miz'''.
 
* "siz" (you plural/formal) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-siz'''.
 
* "ular" (they) pairs with the verb form that ends in '''-dir''' or '''-di'''.
 
This indicates that the verb must reflect the subject’s number and person.
 
== Examples of Subject-Verb Agreement ==
 
Now, let’s look at some examples to illustrate how subject-verb agreement works in Northern Uzbek.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

|-

|}


== Subject-Verb Agreement with Noun Phrases ==

|-
 
| Siz kitob o'qisiz. || Siz kiˈtob oˈqisiz. || You (plural) read a book.
 
|-


In addition to personal pronouns, noun phrases can also function as the subject of a sentence in Northern Uzbek. When using noun phrases as the subject, it is important to ensure that the verb form agrees with the number and gender of the noun. Let's explore some examples:
| Ular kitob o'qiydilar. || Ular kiˈtob oˈqiydilar. || They read a book.


=== Singular Noun Phrases ===
|-


When a singular noun phrase is used as the subject, the verb form must agree with the gender of the noun. Here are some examples:
| Men uyda qolaman. || Men uˈjda koˈlaman. || I stay at home.

|}


=== Plural Noun Phrases ===
| U uyda qoladi. || U uˈjda koˈladi. || He/She stays at home.

When a plural noun phrase is used as the subject, the verb form must agree with the number of the noun. Here are some examples:
