Subject-verb agreement simply means that the verb in a sentence must match the subject. If the subject is singular (like 'he' or 'dog'), the verb is usually singular too (like 'is' or 'barks'). If the subject is plural (like 'they' or 'dogs'), the verb is plural (like 'are' or 'bark'). This worksheet is filled with fun ways to practice making subjects and verbs agree!
Match the word with its definition.
