Noun verb examples
Does anyone have any examples of noun verb agreement? Does that even exist? Such as laughs Laura instead of Laura laughs? I know that one is incorrect. Are there any that are correct?
Top answer
What you are asking about is not agreement, it's inversion. That pattern is used in dialogue, usually as seen in works of fiction. "You've got to be kidding," laughed Laura .
