Grammar test worksheet for Unit Five, Week Five, focusing on present-tense verb agreement with pronouns, illustrated with a child holding an umbrella in the rain.

Let's solve this grammar test step by step. The task is to circle the correct present-tense verb that agrees with the subject pronoun in each sentence.

We need to remember the basic rules of subject-verb agreement in the present tense:

- Singular subjects (he, she, it, each, one) take singular verbs (usually ends in -s).
- Plural subjects (they, we, you, I) take plural verbs (no -s).
- "I" and "you" are always followed by plural verbs.
- "He", "she", and "it" are singular and take verbs ending in -s.
- "They" and "we" are plural and take base form verbs.
