This grammar worksheet provides comprehensive practice on subject-verb agreement rules through varied exercises.

Let's solve each part of the exercise step by step.

---

A. Fill in the blanks with appropriate forms of *be* verb

We need to choose the correct form of the verb "to be" (am, is, are, was, were, etc.) based on subject-verb agreement and context.

1. Ramesh, who is liked by teachers, ___ not a good boy in reality.
- Subject: Ramesh (singular) → is
✔ is

2. The best thing about birthdays ___ the presents we get.
- Subject: The best thing (singular) → is
✔ is

3. The children, who are excited about the vacation, ___ jumping all around.
- Subject: The children (plural) → are
✔ are

4. A swarm of bees ___ heading towards the garden.
- "A swarm" is a collective noun. It takes a singular verb unless it refers to individuals acting separately. Here, it’s acting as a single unit.
→ is
✔ is

5. I cannot believe it ___ them who lied to me.
- This is an emphatic sentence: "It was them..."
- But grammatically, we use was for past tense in this structure.

✔ was

6. How many people ___ there in this world?
