In the following paper we are going to introduce you to some types of agreement and also compare agreement in the English language to a few other languages. English is considered one of the easier languages to learn as a second language. One of the reasons might be that English is an analytic language, which means that there are hardly any inflectional morphemes. Instead, the word order is crucial when trying to understand the meaning of a sentence. Yet, there are some cases in which certain types of words show inflection and where agreement plays an important role.
