Let's solve the worksheet titled
"Verbs in Agreement" step by step. The goal is to
circle the correct verb form that agrees with the subject in each sentence.

🔹 Understanding the Concept:
When a
singular subject performs an action, we use the
singular verb form (usually adding *-s* or *-es*).
When a
plural subject performs an action, we use the
plural verb form (no *-s* or *-es*).
Also, note that
"the kid",
"my sister",
"Tim",
"Coach Marisol", and
"little brother" are all singular subjects — so they take singular verbs.
Plural subjects like
"The kids",
"Parents",
"We", and
"the team" take plural verbs.

📌 Summary of Rules Used:
- Singular subjects → add
-s or
-es to the verb.
- Plural subjects → use base form of the verb (no -s).
- Watch for compound subjects ("we all") — they're plural.
This helps ensure
subject-verb agreement in sentences.
