Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?
She walking to school every day.
She are walking to school every day.
She walk to school every day.
She walks to school every day.
The sentence 'She walks to school every day' correctly matches the singular subject 'she' with the singular verb form 'walks.' The other options either omit the necessary 's' or use incorrect conjugations.
Identify the correct verb form in the sentence: 'The dog ____ in the yard.'
run
ran
runs
running
The singular subject 'The dog' calls for the singular third-person form 'runs.' The other forms either do not have the appropriate ending or represent a different tense.
Which of the following sentences shows proper subject-verb agreement?
The cat run in the park.
The cats runs in the park.
The cats running in the park.
The cat runs in the park.
In 'The cat runs in the park', the singular subject 'cat' correctly pairs with the singular verb 'runs.' The other choices misuse plural or incorrect verb forms.
Choose the correct verb form for the sentence: 'Every student ______ to complete the assignment.'
haves
has
have
having
The subject 'Every student' is singular, which requires the singular verb 'has.' The other options do not agree with the subject in number.
Which sentence shows correct subject-verb agreement with a compound subject?
Tom and Jerry are friends.
Tom and Jerry were friends.
Tom and Jerry is friends.
Tom and Jerry be friends.
The sentence 'Tom and Jerry are friends' correctly pairs the compound subject with the plural verb 'are.' The other options either use an incorrect verb form or an inappropriate tense.
In the sentence 'Neither the teacher nor the students _____ ready for the test', which verb form is correct?
were
is
am
are
With neither/nor constructions, the verb should agree with the subject nearer to it. In this sentence, 'students' is plural, so 'are' is the correct form.
Select the sentence that correctly uses subject-verb agreement with an indefinite pronoun.
Everyone having a book.
Everyone has a book.
Everyone are having a book.
Everyone have a book.
Indefinite pronouns such as 'everyone' are singular, so they require singular verbs. 'Everyone has a book' is constructed correctly.
Which sentence correctly applies subject-verb agreement with a collective noun?
The team winning its game.
The team were winning their game.
The team is winning its game.
The team are winning their game.
Collective nouns that act as a single unit, like 'the team', require a singular verb. 'The team is winning its game' properly reflects this rule.
Identify the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement when a prepositional phrase comes between the subject and the verb: 'The bouquet of roses ____ beautiful.'
are
is
be
were
The main subject is 'The bouquet,' which is singular. The prepositional phrase 'of roses' does not affect the number, so the singular verb 'is' is correct.
Choose the sentence that correctly applies the rule of subject-verb agreement with a quantifier phrase: 'A number of students ____ participating.'
be
is
are
were
The phrase 'a number of students' is treated as plural because it refers to several individuals. Therefore, the sentence requires the plural verb 'are participating'.
Select the sentence that demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement in an inverted sentence: 'There ____ many errors in the assignment.'
are
was
is
be
Although the sentence begins with 'There', the true subject 'errors' is plural. Hence, the correct verb to use is 'are'.
Which sentence correctly applies subject-verb agreement in a sentence with a prepositional modifier: 'The sound of the birds ____ soothing.'
were
are
be
is
The primary subject is 'The sound', which is singular. Despite the modifying phrase 'of the birds', the verb remains singular as 'is soothing.'
Select the correctly constructed sentence regarding subject-verb agreement with a correlative pair: 'Either my brother or my friends ____ coming to the party.'
is
be
are
am
When subjects connected by 'either/or' differ in number, the verb agrees with the closer subject. Here, 'my friends' is plural, so 'are' is the correct choice.
Determine the correct verb form for the sentence: 'A bouquet of flowers ____ on the table.'
are sitting
sit
sits
be sitting
The subject 'A bouquet' is singular and therefore requires the singular verb 'sits.' The other options do not agree in number.
Which sentence demonstrates the correct subject-verb agreement with a collective noun in a formal context: 'The jury ____ divided in their opinion.'
were
is
are
be
In formal writing, collective nouns like 'jury' are treated as singular. Thus, 'is divided' is the correct form to ensure subject-verb agreement.
Analyze the sentence with an intervening relative clause and determine the correct subject-verb agreement: 'The bouquet, which consists of roses and lilies, ____ arranged beautifully.'
is
were
are
be
The main subject 'The bouquet' is singular regardless of the intervening relative clause. Therefore, the verb must be singular, making 'is arranged' correct.
Identify the correct verb form in this sentence with a compound subject connected by 'neither/nor': 'Neither the manager nor the employees ____ aware of the change.'
was
is
are
were
In 'neither/nor' constructions, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Since 'employees' is plural, 'are aware' is the correct verb form.
Determine the correct form of the verb in the sentence: 'Two-thirds of the students ____ absent today.'
was
be
are
is
Since 'students' is plural and 'two-thirds' refers to a plural subset, the correct verb form is 'are absent.' This maintains proper subject-verb agreement.
Examine the sentence with an introductory phrase: 'Along with his friends, the athlete ____ winning many awards.'
are
have
is
has
The introductory phrase 'along with his friends' does not affect the main subject, which is 'the athlete' (singular). Therefore, the appropriate verb form is 'is.'
Evaluate the sentence with a parenthetical remark: 'The teacher, as well as her students, ____ excited about the upcoming event.'
be
is
were
are
Despite the parenthetical remark, the primary subject is 'The teacher,' which is singular. As a result, the verb must be singular, making 'is' the correct choice.

Class 7 Subject Verb Agreement Worksheet Cheat Sheet

  1. Subjects joined by "and" - When two or more subjects link up with "and," they form a tag team that needs a plural verb. For example: "She and her friends are at the fair," not "is at the fair." Stay plural and watch your subjects shine together! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  2. Singular nouns with "or" or "nor" - If you've got two singular nouns joined by "or" or "nor," stick with a singular verb. Try "The book or the pen is in the drawer," not "are in the drawer." One choice means one verb! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  3. Proximity matters - When a mix of singular and plural nouns appears with "or"/"nor," the verb buddies up with the closest noun. "The boy or his friends run every day" keeps the verb in perfect harmony with "friends." Closer noun, closer verb! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  4. Indefinite pronouns are solo acts - Words like "everyone," "anyone," and "nobody" are forever singular and demand a singular verb. So we say "Everybody knows Mr. Jones," not "know Mr. Jones." One pronoun, one verb! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  5. Collective nouns stick together - A "team," "committee," or "family" acts as one unit, so use a singular verb. "The team runs during practice" keeps everyone moving in sync. Remember: unity equals singular! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  6. Units of measure are singular - When talking about time, money, or distances, treat them as a single unit: "Five dollars is a lot," not "are a lot." One dollar amount calls for one verb form! Pediaa: Rules in Subject-Verb Agreement
  7. "There is" vs. "there are" - In sentences starting with "there is" or "there are," the verb agrees with whatever comes next: "There are many questions" but "There is one answer." Follow the noun, not the introductory word! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  8. Parenthetical phrases don't count - Phrases like "including," "as well as," or "accompanied by" don't change the main subject's number. "The President, accompanied by his wife, is traveling" stays singular because "President" is singular. Keep that verb true to your core subject! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
  9. Same thing, two names - If two "ands" refer to one concept - like "rice and curry" - treat them as a single dish: "Rice and curry is his favorite." One combo, one verb! Pediaa: Rules in Subject-Verb Agreement
  10. Plurals that look singular - Words like "scissors," "trousers," and "tweezers" are always treated as plural: "These scissors are dull," never "is dull." Two blades, two verbs! Purdue OWL: Subject-Verb Agreement
