Remembering that verbs must always agree with the
subject in both number (single or plural) and person
(first, second, or third) is important when
composing sentences. Your sentences are more
likely to be truthful, understandable, and creatively
appropriate when there is this kind of agreement.
Let us examine the sentences below.
A. Cats and dogs love to run.
B. He doesn't like chocolate.
C. Her friends or Sarah excel at volleyball.
D. Each of these have been ruined.
E. Pants are baggy now.
F. The students, as well as the teacher, are nervous

G. The news are on at 10:00 tonight.
H. My friend are a lot of fun.
I. Mathematics is hard for many.
J. The director, with all the cast members, works
very hard.
Classify the sentences above as to correct and incorrect
in terms of subject-verb agreement by placing the
letters in their appropriate columns.
Correct Incorrect
 Subject-Verb Agreement portrays rules in
terms of agreement between the subject and
the verb. The subject and verb of the sentence
must agree in number. If the subject is plural,
then the verb must be in its simple form. If the
subject is singular, then the verb must be in its
–s form. Always remember, the subject must
always agree with the verb, thus, agreement.
Have students work in pairs to identify subjects and
verbs in given sentences and check for agreement.
1. My dog bark loudly at night.
2. The colorful flowers blooming in the garden.
3. The children plays games at the park.
4. The teacher write on the chalkboard.
5. The adventurous boy climb the tree quickly.
 The subject and verb must agree with each
other in number. Perhaps the most important thing
for you to know is that singular verbs end with -s
except for I am, and you are (second person
singular). If the subject is plural in number, it takes
the simple form of the verb.
 How to make the subject and the verb agree
with each other? Just follow these simple steps;
First, identify the subject of the sentence.
Second, decide if the subject is singular or
plural. Lastly, decide which verb form will
match with the subject.
 By using these elements effectively, you can
create well-structured and meaningful sentences
that provide clear descriptions, establish
relationships between ideas, emphasize actions or
qualities, and convey frequency or routine in a
more nuanced manner.
Choose the correct form of the verb to complete each sentence.

1. My tennis shoes (is, are) on top of the suitcase.

2. Two noble lions (rest, rests) in a large cage at the zoo.
3. There (is, are) no clues to tell who the robber is.
4. A yellow ribbon (stretch, stretches) across the front windows.
5. The lion (roar, roars) in the jungle.
 Create 3 sentences using the concepts of
subject-verb agreement, adjectives,
conjunctions, and adverbs. Use these
concepts to describe activities you do daily,
or any events happened this past week at
home.

Remember: Sentences are important features of language.
As a second language learner, you must learn the different
conventions of writing sentences. You should aim to be
able to compose clear and coherent sentences using
appropriate grammatical structures such as subject-verb
agreement, kinds of adjectives, subordinating and
coordinating conjunctions, and adverbs of intensity and
frequency.

 Subject-Verb Agreement portrays
particular rules in terms of agreement between
the subject and the verb. The subject and verb of
the sentence must agree in number. If the subject
is plural, then the verb must be in its simple
form. If the subject is singular, then the verb
must be in its –s form.

Let’s check how much you already know about inverted
sentences. Read the sentences below, then on the space
provided before the number, put a check mark “ √ ” if the
sentence is written in an inverted order, while write an “X”
if it is not.

____1. Hidilyn Diaz is an Olympic champion.

____2. I saw five children inside the bus.
____3. Inside the bag are two Self-Learning Modules
(SLMs).
____4. There is one way to solve this problem.
____5. Twenty plastic bottles were thrown away.
Let’s also check if you can still identify the correct form of
the verb in inverted sentences. Choose the correct forms
of the verbs inside the parentheses.

1. There (is, are) three stars in our Philippine

National Flag.
2. From there (stand, stands) the school principal.
3. Going back home (is, are) five cute puppies.
4. Adjacent to my house (is, are) a bakery.
5. In that corner (sit, sits) two groups of dancers.
Correct agreement between a subject and a verb requires that the two must
be of the same number. This means that if the subject is singular, (only one
or considered as one) then the verb must also be singular. If the subject is
plural, (more than one) then the verb must also be plural.

1. Alex likes / like watching cartoons on weekends.

(Alex is a singular noun, and likes is a singular verb. The subject and the
verb agree in number since they are both singular.)

2. Alex and Marian studies/ study their lessons on weekdays.

(Since Alex and Marian consist of more than one person, they are plural.
Hence, they also need a plural verb which is study.)
These types of sentences are simple because you can easily identify the
subject and the verb, including their number (whether singular or plural).
However, if the sentence is written in another way, just like the one below, it
might not be easy to identify the subject and the verb, and consequently,
whether they are singular or plural. Consider this:

3. Inside the cave is/are prehistoric drawings showing horses and other
animals.

What is the subject of Sentence 3? Is it the cave or the prehistoric drawings?

What about its verb? Can you tell if the subject is singular or plural? What is
the correct verb that will match the subject?
Read each sentence carefully. Write S if the underlined word is
the subject of the inverted sentence and write V if it is a verb.

1. From the office, the manager holds a meeting with

his staff.
2. At the back of the valley live many farmers.
3. Here are the flowers that you sent me.
4. In the center of the stage are two chandeliers.
5. In the classroom is a teacher who teaches clearly his
lesson.
Were you able to identify the subject and the verb easily? Why?
Why not?
Copy the following sentences in your notebook. When this is
done, underline the subject once and the verb twice.

1. Down the street live the man and his wife.

2. In a bottle is a beautiful flower.
3. Here are the apples you wanted to eat.
4. Under the tree stands a tall man.
5. In the middle of the night is a troubled woman.
 A verb must agree with its subject, in
number and in person, i.e. a subject in
singular form must have a singular verb,
and the subject in the plural form must
have a plural verb.
Complete the sentences below by writing the missing part.
The first one has been done for you.

1. At the center of the Philippine National Flag is _____.

At the center of the Philippine National Flag is a sun with
eight rays.
2. _________ are my classmates who are trying to rub
my back.
3. Inside a small house lives _______________________.

Were you able to identify the
subject and the verb easily?
Why? Why not?
A verb must agree with its subject, in
number and in person, i.e. a subject in
singular form must have a singular
verb, and the subject in the plural
form must have a plural verb.
Complete each of the inverted sentences by choosing the
correct form of the verb inside the parentheses.

1. Up to the last minute of the show (watch, watches)

the fanatic viewers.
2. (Does, Do) they have the same plan with us?
3. Beside the condominium building (stand, stands) a carinderia
restaurant.

sentences. Copy the sentences into your notebook. Underline
the verb ONCE and the subject TWICE.
1. Here is your school report card from your teacher.
2. Inside your pocket is a rosary.
3. All day long prays a worried mother for her
daughter’s successful operation.
4. At the bookstore are informative and recreational books
waiting to be bought.
5. On the shiny floor spills the hot milk from the broken

Compose inverted sentences by adding a verb and a
subject to the following phrases. Make sure that the
subject and verb agree.
Example:

Out of the cave fly millions of fruit bats.

1. Inside the chest __________.

2. Seated beside me ________.
3. Scattered along the beach __.
4. There _________________.
5. Above the hill ____________.
 In an inverted order, the verb comes first
before the subject. The nouns that serve as
subjects may either be singular or plural in
form. Remember to keep in mind that when
the subject is singular it must take a singular
verb and when the subject is plural it must
take a plural verb.
 Inverted sentences have subjects come after the
verb.
 Nouns used as subjects can be singular or plural
in number.
 A verb must agree with its subject, in number and
in person even when the sentence is in inverted
order.
 A singular subject takes a singular verb, while a
plural subject takes a plural verb in that manner.
Identify the inverted sentences in the items below. Write
the letter which corresponds to your choice.
Study and prepare for a quiz.
