Teaching Notes

Cover the phrase between subject and verb to find the true subject. Singular subject = verb + -s; plural subject = bare verb.

Vocabulary
Subject: Who or what the sentence is about.
Verb: The action or state of being in the sentence.
Agreement: Subject and verb must match in number.
Common Mistakes
  • Matching the verb to the nearest noun rather than the true subject
  • Treating "the team" as plural (it acts as a single unit in American English)
Extension Activities
  • Find subject-verb pairs in books.
  • Write sentences with singular subjects.
  • Write sentences with plural subjects.
Parent Tip

Ask your child if the subject and verb 'sound right' together.
