Subject-verb agreement means that the verb in a sentence has to match the subject. If the subject is singular (like 'cat'), the verb usually ends in '-s' (like 'sits'). If the subject is plural (like 'cats'), the verb doesn't end in '-s' (like 'sit'). For example, 'The cat sits' is correct, but 'The cat sit' is not. Same with plural subjects - 'The cats sit' is correct, but 'The cats sits' is not. Let's practice making some awesome sentences!
Match the word with its definition:
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Subject | A. A word that shows an action or state of being. |
| 2. Verb | B. More than one. |
| 3. Agreement | C. The part of a sentence that performs the action. |
| 4. Singular | D. When the subject and verb match correctly. |
| 5. Plural | E. Only one. |
