Subject-Verb Agreement Practice Worksheet

This worksheet is about Subject-Verb Agreement — a fundamental grammar rule that states:
> *The verb must agree with its subject in number (singular or plural) and person (I, you, he/she/it, we, they).*

---

🔍 Key Rules to Remember:

- Singular subjects (e.g., *he, she, it, my father, the cat*) → use verb + s (or es) in present tense.
- Example: *He plays*, *She goes*, *The cat sleeps*
- Plural subjects (e.g., *they, we, students, Annie and her brother*) → use base form of verb (no “s”).
- Example: *They play*, *We go*, *Students study*
- “I” and “You” → always use base form of verb (even though “I” is singular).
- Example: *I eat*, *You run*
