Grade 3 Subject-Verb Agreement Worksheet - Help Kurt and Lindiwe learn to master using verbs correctly in sentences.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to pick the correct verb form — either present simple or present continuous — based on what makes sense in the context.

---

1. Kurt and Lindsay (film / films) their first movie clip.

- “Kurt and Lindsay” = plural subject → so we use “film” (not “films”, which is for singular like “he films”).
- They are doing it right now? The picture shows them with a camera, so it’s happening now → present continuous: are filming.
Wait — but the options given are only “film” or “films”. Hmm… maybe the worksheet expects us to choose between those two forms only? But that doesn’t make sense because neither is continuous.

Actually, looking again — the instruction says: “Underline and then rewrite using active voice correctly.” And the verbs in parentheses are base forms. So probably we’re supposed to conjugate them properly — including adding -ing if needed for continuous tense.

But let’s check the other sentences — some have “choose / chooses”, “carries / carry”, etc. So likely, we’re to pick the correct form AND add auxiliary verbs if needed for continuous tense.

Looking at sentence 3: “Stinky carries / carried across the props...” — wait, no, it says “carries / carried”? Actually, in the image it says “carries / carried”? Wait, no — let me re-read:

In the original text provided:

> 3. Stinky carries / carried across the props for the set.

Wait — actually, in your typed version you wrote “carries / carried”, but in the image description it might be different. Since I can’t see the image, I’ll rely on your transcription.

But hold on — in your initial problem statement, you wrote:

> 3. Stinky carries / carried across the props for the set.

That suggests past tense vs present? But the topic is “Subject-verb agreement” and “present tense”.

This is confusing. Let me assume that all verbs should be in present tense, and we choose between simple present forms (like film/films, choose/chooses), unless context requires continuous.

But sentence 1: “Kurt and Lindsay film their first movie clip.” — that could be simple present, meaning they do this regularly. But the drawing shows them actively filming — so maybe continuous is better.

However, since the options given are only “film” or “films”, perhaps the worksheet wants simple present only? That would be odd.

Wait — look at sentence 4: “Henry and Ernesto sleep / sleeps badly on the sofa.” — here, “sleep” is correct for plural subject.

Sentence 5: “Lindsay’s parents cleans / clean the door...” — “parents” is plural → “clean”

Sentence 6: “Rashad help / helps Kurt and Lindsay...” — “Rashad” is singular → “helps”

So it seems the task is mainly about subject-verb agreement in simple present tense — choosing the right form based on whether the subject is singular or plural.

Then why does sentence 2 say “Kurt chooses / choose the background music”? “Kurt” is singular → “chooses”

Sentence 3: “Stinky carries / carried” — if it’s present tense, “carries” (singular subject)

But “carried” is past tense — that might be a trick option? Or maybe typo?

Given the title “Subject-verb agreement” and grade 3 level, it’s most likely focused on simple present tense agreement.

Also, the instruction says: “rewrite using active voice correctly” — but all these seem to already be active voice. Maybe just means use correct verb form.

Let me proceed under the assumption that we are to choose the correct simple present tense verb form based on subject-verb agreement.

Now let’s solve each:

1. Kurt and Lindsay (film / films) their first movie clip.

→ Subject: “Kurt and Lindsay” = plural → verb should be “film”
✔ Correct: film

2. Kurt (chooses / choose) the background music.

→ Subject: “Kurt” = singular → verb should be “chooses”
✔ Correct: chooses

3. Stinky (carries / carried) across the props for the set.

→ If we stick to present tense: “Stinky” = singular → “carries”
“Carried” is past tense — probably not intended here.
✔ Correct: carries

4. Henry and Ernesto (sleep / sleeps) badly on the sofa.

→ Subject: “Henry and Ernesto” = plural → “sleep”
✔ Correct: sleep

5. Lindsay’s parents (cleans / clean) the door to escape the noise.

→ Subject: “parents” = plural → “clean”
✔ Correct: clean

6. Rashad (help / helps) Kurt and Lindsay with the editing of the film.

→ Subject: “Rashad” = singular → “helps”
✔ Correct: helps

7. Rashad and Lindsay’s parents (congratulate / congratulates) Kurt and Lindsay on such work done.

→ Subject: “Rashad and Lindsay’s parents” — this is tricky. Is it “Rashad” + “Lindsay’s parents”? Then it’s plural (three people). Or is it “Rashad and Lindsay’s” modifying “parents”? Still, “parents” is plural, and adding Rashad makes it even more plural.

So subject is plural → verb should be “congratulate”

✔ Correct: congratulate

Final Answer:

1. film
2. chooses
3. carries
4. sleep
5. clean
6. helps
7. congratulate
