Let's have some fun sharpening your verb agreement skills. You'll find out that an 's' is usually added to the verb when dealing with a singular subject. On the other hand, a plural subject won't require an 's' in the verb. Ready for a challenge? I've got nine sentences prepared for you to tackle, each presenting you with a choice between two verbs - one with an 's' and one without. Your job? Circle the correct verb that gets along perfectly with each subject.
Verbs in agreement mean that the action word (verb) in a sentence has to match the person or thing doing the action, which is called the subject. If you have a singular subject, like "The dog," you use a singular verb, like "barks," so you say, "The dog barks." If you have a plural subject, like "The dogs," you use a plural verb, like "bark," so you say, "The dogs bark." It's like making sure your shoes match-you wouldn't wear one shoe that's yellow and one that's blue, right? They need to go together!
