๐ Topic Summary
Subject-verb agreement means that the verb (the action word) in a sentence must match the subject (who or what is doing the action). If the subject is singular (like 'one cat'), the verb usually ends in '-s' (like 'eats'). If the subject is plural (like 'two cats'), the verb doesn't have an '-s' (like 'eat'). It's like a secret code for sentences! ๐
Let's get started with some practice! We'll match words, fill in the blanks, and even think about why this all matters. Ready to become a sentence superstar? ๐
๐ค Part A: Vocabulary Match-Up
Draw a line connecting the word to its meaning:
