Practice using "is" and "are" correctly with this grammar worksheet.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The rule is simple:
- If the subject (the person or thing doing the action) is one → use “is”
- If the subject is more than one → use “are”

We’ll circle the correct word in each sentence.
