1) Make it Plural
Noun Agreement problems are almost always caused by the use of a singular noun where there should be a plural noun.
Incorrect:
"Prince and Julie were inspired to become a model after watching the T.V. show 'America's Next Top Model.'"
We have two people here: Prince and Julie. Therefore, the singular noun "a model" needs to be changed to the plural form, "models."
Correct:
"Prince and Julie were inspired to become models after watching the T.V. show 'America's Next Top Model.'"
