Greetings, kids! Have you ever been told “She goes to school” instead of “She goes to school every day”? Today, we will learn all there is to know about Subject-Verb Agreement!
Let’s work together to make our sentences sound flawless! 🎯
🤔 What Is Subject-Verb Agreement?
It’s simple! The subject (who or what the statement is about) and verb (the action word) of a phrase must match.
✅ When the topic is a single person or thing (singular), the verb frequently ends in -s or -es.
✅ If the subject is multiple, the verb does not end in -s.
📚 Examples That Make It Easy
Let’s look at some examples:
| Subject | Correct Verb Form | Example Sentence |
| He / She / It | Verb + s or es | She plays the guitar. 🎸 |
| I / You / We / They | Just the verb (no s) | They play outside every evening. ⚽ |
🧠 Remember These Golden Rules!
- He, She, It = Verb + s
- He runs fast.
- She likes apples. 🍎
- It jumps high!
- He runs fast.
- I, You, We, They = Verb (no s)
- I run fast.
- You like apples.
- They jump high!
- I run fast.
🛑 Watch Out for Tricky Sentences!
Some sentences try to trick you! 😄
- The dog barks. (Just one dog 🐶 – add s to the verb)
- The dogs bark. (More than one dog – no s on the verb)
Even if there are many words in the sentence, always find the main subject to decide the verb!
