we don't have subject-verb-agreement in scandinavian languages because: 
jeg er 
du er 
h*n er
vi er 
dere er 
de er 

unlike english where it is 
i am 
you are 
he/she/it/whatever is 
we are 
you are 
they are 

verbs are never marked for anything else than tense, and compared to other comparable languages, that is also best understood as marginal, strictly speaking, at least norwegian, only has infinite/present/past and nothing else, because all other tenses are marked with auxiliary verbs combined with one of the three forms mentioned

that being said, however, subject-verb agreement is regardless a common issue in EFL, regardless of the mother tongue of the speaker as the english system is, as we all can agree on, inconsistent 
i find it far easier to conjugate verbs in french according to person and number than i can say for english, because the french system isn't as fucked up as the inconsistent shit show in the english one

therefore it is a bit interesting in internet speech when at least norwegians (based on my observations) sometimes pro-drop, but that only works if it is "the speaker" that is "doing" the verb, so they can write "er på skolen" (am at school) but they can't write it like that and mean someone else is at school, unless the context allow it but no one cares so i'll stop now

Its a english grammar rule that is not in norwegian thus we fuck up the is/are to the subject of the sentence in plural/singular

Thats easy too, tho I probably fuck it up sometimes but its more cus brain fart and not that I don't know the rules I think, but tbh from my experience native english speakers are worse at those than second language english speakers

yeah it's because the words sound the same and they don't have some other mapping in their brain that clarifies it 
what baffles me is that some struggle with effect vs affect

I don't know if I struggle w it or not, can't say I use them often but. Honestly just my whole grammar has gone to shit after not having english in school anymore, I was a lot better at is/are before but now im like stuck on it for a good 10 seconds sometimes before eventually picking probably the wrong one. My biggest problem is spelling certain words but I think, if its comprehensible, its ok

Idk there are so man things that messes up the grammar for me but I'm not going to elaborate on it in case it is contagious

the worst part is that some mass nouns can be both 
like it is grammatically acceptable to use plural about countries (which i generally do), although the more common thing is singular, but in my brain it doesn't make sense that mass nouns are singular

I write w weird grammar on vp at least but I like to think I could write a bit better if I tried. I don't care abt the word order as long as it makes sense and theres no mistakes like actual mistakes (to/too etc). Some ppl on vp should care more abt their word order tho I will say, I don't like reading what people write and they write it in an order that is clearly just directly translated from scandinavian, its very hmmmm stop now
