"The ball bounces off the fence and lands in a puddle."

There are many agreement errors that can only be explained by carelessness and lack of review. They are: errors of agreement of number, gender or both between the subject and the verb, between the direct object and its predicative complement, as well as between a noun and the adjective or a participle, and between the relative and its antecedent.

A singular subject requires a singular verb, while a plural subject requires a plural verb for the sentence to make sense and be correct.
