It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Subject/Verb Agreement" that contains a list of sentences with blanks where students are supposed to
underline the subject and
circle the correct verb in parentheses. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll need you to either:
1.
Describe the sentences, or
2.
Type out the content of the worksheet so I can help you solve it.
However, since you mentioned the image includes a task, I can still guide you through how to solve this type of grammar exercise.

🔍 How to Solve Subject-Verb Agreement Problems
Step 1: Identify the subject
- Look for the noun or pronoun that is performing the action.
- Ignore phrases that come between the subject and verb (like prepositional phrases).
- Be careful with compound subjects, collective nouns, or singular/plural forms.
Step 2: Match the verb to the subject
- Singular subjects take singular verbs (e.g., *is*, *was*, *runs*).
- Plural subjects take plural verbs (e.g., *are*, *were*, *run*).
Common Traps:
-
Collective nouns (e.g., team, family, group): Usually singular unless emphasizing individuals.
-
Compound subjects joined by "and": Usually plural.
-
Subjects after "there is" or "there are": The real subject comes after the verb.
-
Indefinite pronouns (everyone, someone, each, etc.) → usually singular.

✔ Example from Your Worksheet (Hypothetical)
Let’s say one sentence is:
> The dog (curtains) down the street every day.
Step 1: Subject = *The dog* → singular
Step 2: Verb choice: *curtains* (singular) vs *curtains* (plural)? Wait — “curtains” isn’t a verb! That seems like a typo.
Wait — likely the intended word is
“runs” or
“walks”? Let's assume it was meant to be:
> The dog (runs/runs) down the street every day.
But if the options are:
> The dog (curtains/curtains) down the street...
That doesn’t make sense. So perhaps it’s a typo, and it should be:
> The dog (runs/runs) → but both are same? Or maybe:
> The dog (runs/run) → then correct verb is
runs.
So:
- Underline:
dog
- Circle:
runs
