====Subjects====
As in other [[Bantu language]]s, every [[verb]] must also [[Agreement (linguistics)|agree]] with its [[subject (grammar)|subject]] in gender and number (as opposed to number only as in Indo-European languages). For example:
* {{lang|lg|omusajja anywa}} 'the man is drinking' (Class I, singular)
* {{lang|lg|abasajja banywa}} 'the men are drinking' (Class I, plural)
* {{lang|lg|embuzi enywa}} 'the goat is drinking' (Class III, singular)
* {{lang|lg|embuzi zinywa}} 'the goats are drinking' (Class III, plural)
* {{lang|lg|akaana kanywa}} 'the baby/infant is drinking' (Class VI, singular)
* {{lang|lg|obwana bunywa}} 'the babies/infants are drinking' (Class VI, plural)
Here, the verb {{lang|lg|nywa}} changes its prefix according to the gender and number of its subject.

Note, in the third and fourth examples, how the verb agrees with the [[grammatical number|number]] of the noun even when the noun does not explicitly reflect the number distinction.

The subject prefixes for the [[personal pronoun]]s are:
* First person: singular {{lang|lg|n-}} 'I', plural {{lang|lg|tu-}} 'we'
* Second person: singular {{lang|lg|o-}} 'you (singular)', {{lang|lg|mu-}} 'you (plural)'
* Third person: singular {{lang|lg|a-}} 'he, she', {{lang|lg|ba-}} 'they (Class I)'

For [[impersonal pronoun]]s the subject prefixes are:
* Class I: singular {{lang|lg|a-}}, plural {{lang|lg|ba-}} (''i.e.'' the third person prefixes shown directly above)
* Class II: singular {{lang|lg|gu-}}, plural {{lang|lg|gi-}}
* Class III: singular {{lang|lg|e-}}, plural {{lang|lg|zi-}}
* Class IV: singular {{lang|lg|ki-}}, plural {{lang|lg|bi-}}
* Class V: singular {{lang|lg|li-}}, plural {{lang|lg|ga-}}
* Class VI: singular {{lang|lg|ka-}}, plural {{lang|lg|bu-}}
* Class VII: singular {{lang|lg|lu-}}, plural {{lang|lg|zi-}}
* Class VIII: singular {{lang|lg|gu-}}, plural {{lang|lg|ga-}}
* Class IX: singular {{lang|lg|ku-}}, plural {{lang|lg|ga-}}
* Class X: {{lang|lg|tu-}}
