Subject-verb agreement simply means that the verb in a sentence must agree in number with its subject. If the subject is singular, the verb must be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. For example, 'The dog barks' (singular) vs. 'The dogs bark' (plural). This worksheet will help you practice identifying subjects and verbs and making sure they agree!
