How to Use This Pack

Five worksheets that take turns through the activities. Pages 1, 3, and 5: students circle the verb that agrees with the subject. Pages 2 and 4: students find the verb that does not agree in each sentence and write it the right way. Every answer is worked out from the sentences themselves, and the answer keys mark each one.

In the Classroom

Cover the words between the subject and the verb with a finger: "The bag (of apples) is heavy." What is heavy? The bag, so is.

At Home

Read a page of a book together and ask your child to point to each subject and its verb.

Tips for Success

  • One: the frog hops; more: the frogs hop
  • Two subjects with and take the plural verb
  • Skip the words between subject and verb
  • Check the answer key
