Subject - Verb Agreement - Worksheet

Teaching the correct use of subject-verb agreement is essential in mastering English grammar. A worksheet designed for this purpose presents a series of sentences where learners are tasked with selecting the appropriate verb form to match the subject. For example, they must choose between "was" or "were" to complete the sentence "I _______________ born in Cardiff." Further sentences require decisions between pairs such as "did/done," "have/has," and "like/likes." This exercise helps students to practice and recognise the correct verb forms that correspond with singular and plural subjects, as well as different tenses.

Another worksheet challenges students to correct sentences where the verb does not agree with the subject. Students are presented with sentences like "Diane love watching TV," where they must identify the error and correct the verb to "loves" to match the singular subject "Diane." Each sentence contains a highlighted verb that needs to be changed, providing a clear focus for the learner. The answers are provided, allowing students to check their work, reinforcing the rules of subject-verb agreement. This includes corrections such as changing "were" to "was" in the sentence "Shabana were top of the class," and altering "don’t" to "doesn’t" in "She don’t like pork," ensuring that learners understand how to make subjects and verbs agree in both singular and plural contexts.
