Exceptional cases in English Articles:

Generally, we do common error while using articles in a sentence:

   The maidservant is a honest lady. (wrong) 

The maidservant is an honest lady.  (correct)

"An" is used before words starting with a vowel sound. In this word,

"honest' 'h ' is silent. So, we use an honest lady.

   The money does not give inner contentment. (wrong)

    Money does not give inner contentment. (correct)

When talking about money in a general sense, it is uncountable

 noun, so "the money" is incorrect.

     She has the milk to make tea. (correct)

It means she possesses the specific milk required to prepare tea.

Though "milk" is an uncountable noun so, no article is used but

 here it is referring to a specific carton, that is why, we use here 'the'.

Here is a picture of the rules flowchart that will be helpful to you to master the topic: Subject - Verb Agreement. 

Rule 1: Singular Subject - Singular Verb 

Here, it means if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular.

For instance: Rohan cracked the SSC exam in first attempt.

It is an example of "Simple Past Tense". 

If the same sentence, we want to change in "Simple Present Tense",

In Simple Past Tense - we use second form of the verb (cracked) 

Rohan cracks the SSC exam in first attempt. (Simple Present Tense)

In case of Simple Present Tense, we use base form of the verb. but 

with the third person singular (he, she, it or name of a person, place or a thing) we add" s " or "es". Here, I have used "s" cracks. "Rohan" is the name of a person.

Rule 2:  Plural Subject - Plural Verb:

If the subject is plural, the verb must be plural:

The boys play cricket in the evening.

Rita and Gita go to the market to buy some groceries.
