You're working on a
Subject-Verb Agreement worksheet. The goal is to choose the correct verb form (singular or plural) that matches the subject of each sentence.
---
🔑 Key Rule:
-
Singular subjects → take
singular verbs (usually end in *-s* in present tense).
-
Plural subjects → take
plural verbs (no *-s* in present tense).
> ⚠️ Exception: “I” and “you” always take plural verb forms, even though they’re singular pronouns.
Also remember:
-
“Nobody” is treated as
singular.
-
“Two teachers,” “Babies,” “Girls,” “Apples” are plural.
- Names like
Miss Han, Miss Laura, Mrs. Kang, Peng-Soo, Mrs. Jahng are singular (one person).
