Free Year 7 Subject–Verb Agreement: Making Subjects and Verbs Match Worksheet

Students learn that a singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb, then tackle the cases that trip writers up: phrases between the subject and verb, compound subjects joined by and or or, each and every, indefinite pronouns such as everyone and neither, and sentences that begin with there is or there are. They choose correct verbs, find and fix errors and proofread a paragraph.
