Task: Solve the problem by circling the correct verb for each sentence based on subject-verb agreement.

#### Explanation of Subject-Verb Agreement:
- Subject-Verb Agreement is a grammatical rule that ensures the verb in a sentence agrees with its subject in number (singular or plural).
- If the subject is singular, the verb must be in the singular form.
- If the subject is plural, the verb must be in the plural form.
- Some irregular verbs have unique forms for singular and plural subjects.
