In these worksheets, kids practice circling the correct verb form to finish the sentence.

The first example is Andy and Tom often BLANK dinner for Mom and Dad. The choices are a. cook and b. cooks.

To determine whether "a. cook" or "b. cooks" should go in the blank, consider subject-verb agreement. This involves ensuring that the verb in the sentence matches the subject in number (singular or plural).

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Identify the subject of the sentence: The subject of the sentence is "Andy and Tom." This subject is plural because it refers to two people.

2. Determine the correct verb form for the subject: For a plural subject, you use the base form of the verb (without the "s" ending typically used for third-person singular subjects).

- Singular: He/She/It cooks.

- Plural: They cook.

3. Apply the correct verb form: Since "Andy and Tom" is a plural subject, you would use the base form of the verb, which is "cook" in this case.

Therefore, the correct choice is:

a. cook
