Frequently Asked Questions
What is subject-verb agreement?
A singular subject needs a singular verb (The dog runs), and a plural subject needs a plural verb (The dogs run). The verb must always match the subject's number.
Why do students match the verb to the wrong noun?
Because intervening phrases (one of the boxes) pull attention away from the true subject. Reading the sentence aloud and asking 'who or what is doing this?' fixes the error.
Are these subject-verb agreement worksheets free and printable?
Yes. Every worksheet is a free, printable PDF with an answer key, and no sign-up is required.
