We need make subjects and verbs agree when we writing. In the present tense, verbs agree with their subjects in number (one or more than one) and in person(1st, 2nd, 3rd), for instance: we invite, you invite, he or she invites, I invite.
e.g.
1) Lily and Tony do the presentation together.("Lily and Tony" are two people, so here we use "do", instead of "does".)
2) The cat which lies on the blanket is mine.("cat" is singular and 3rd, so here we use "lies", instead of "lie".)
3) I suggest Kevin does not go to school late.("I" is singular but 1st, so here we use "suggest", instead of "suggests"; "Kevin" is singular and 3rd, so here we use "does", instead of "do".)
