Seatwork on Subject Verb Agreement:

Today you will review the concept of subject

verb agreement.

This online review will be in three parts.

Write your answers on your white board and

raise your board at the end of each part.

Your teacher will discuss the correct answers

and take note of your answers.
 Subject Verb Agreement
As we have learned in class, the subject and
verb of a sentence must agree. Singular
subjects need singular verbs. If you use a plural
subject, you need to use a plural verb.

Let's review this concept by answering the following

examples.
QUESTION #1:
Write down the correct verb that
agrees with the subject.

My older sister _______ a large collection of

vintage postage stamps.

documents of how people lived in the past.

LET'S CHECK OUR ANSWERS!
1. has
The singular subject "sister" is paired
with the singular verb "has."

2. are
The plural subject "stamps" takes the
plural verb "are."

3. is
"Stamp collecting" is taken as singular;
therefore, "is" is the correct verb.
