Noun-verb agreement means that the verb (the action word) in a sentence has to match the noun (the person, place, or thing) it's talking about. If the noun is singular (just one), the verb usually ends in -s. If the noun is plural (more than one), the verb doesn't usually end in -s. For example, "The dog barks" (singular) but "The dogs bark" (plural). Let's practice making those sentences sound perfect!
Understanding this helps your sentences make sense! When the noun and verb agree, it sounds right and is easy to understand.
Match the word to its meaning:
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Noun | A. An action word |
| 2. Verb | B. More than one |
| 3. Singular | C. A person, place, or thing |
| 4. Plural | D. The doing part of a sentence. |
| 5. Agreement | E. Only one. |
