Explanation:
We are given a worksheet titled “Subject Verb Agreement” with 9 sentences. The directions say: *Circle the verb in ( ) that completes the sentence correctly.* Each sentence has two verb options in parentheses, and we must choose the one that agrees with the subject.
Let’s go through each sentence one by one:
1.
My family (enjoy, enjoys) watching the parade.
- “Family” is a collective noun. In American English, collective nouns like *family*, *team*, *group* are usually treated as singular when the group acts as one unit. Here, “my family” is acting together (watching the parade), so it takes a singular verb:
enjoys.
2.
I (love, loved) to see the amazing floats.
- Subject is “I”, and the sentence is in present tense (“to see” suggests current feeling). So we need present tense verb:
love. (Loved would be past tense.)
3.
My favorite float (look, looks) like a giant turkey.
- Subject is “float” — singular. So verb must be singular:
looks.
4.
A marching band (play, plays) a loud song.
- “A marching band” is a singular collective noun (one band), so verb is singular:
plays.
5.
The drummers (tap, taps) to the beat.
- Subject is “drummers” — plural. So verb must be plural:
tap.
6.
Cheerleaders (dance, dances) along with the music.
- “Cheerleaders” is plural → verb should be plural:
dance.
7.
People (wear, wears) colorful costumes.
- “People” is always plural (even though it looks like a singular word), so verb is plural:
wear.
8.
The balloons (float, floats) high above the crowd.
- “Balloons” is plural → verb:
float.
9.
We (clap, claps) as they go down the street.
- Subject is “We” — plural → verb:
clap.
Now let’s list the correct choices:
1. enjoys
2. love
3. looks
4. plays
5. tap
6. dance
7. wear
8. float
9. clap
Final Answer:
1. enjoys
2. love
3. looks
4. plays
5. tap
6. dance
7. wear
8. float
9. clap
