This engaging set of worksheets is designed to help students master the skill of identifying singular and plural subjects and ensuring subject-verb agreement in sentences. These worksheets provide targeted practice through activities that require students to recognise subjects, match them to appropriate verbs and apply their knowledge in context. This resource builds a solid foundation in grammar and sentence structure.

How to Complete

1. Section 1: Students read each sentence, underline the subject and determine if it is singular or plural.
2. Section 3: Students choose the correct verb for each sentence, circling the appropriate option to match the subject.
3. Section 4: Students write two sentences using singular subjects and two sentences using plural subjects, ensuring subject-verb agreement.
4. Section 5: Students analyse a short paragraph to identify singular and plural subjects in context.

Additional Tips

1. Begin the lesson with a short warm-up activity where students identify the subjects in oral sentences before moving to the written work.
2. Pair students for peer review in Section 4 to encourage collaboration and reinforce understanding of subject-verb agreement.
3. Provide additional examples or scaffolded support for students who struggle with recognising singular and plural subjects.

Extension Ideas

1. Real-World Texts: Have students find singular and plural subjects in a paragraph from a book, magazine or news article.
2. Verb Variation: Challenge students to rewrite sentences from Section 3 by changing the verb tense (e.g., from present to past).
3. Creative Writing: Ask students to write a short story or descriptive paragraph using at least five singular subjects and five plural subjects.
4. Classroom Game: Play a subject-verb matching game where students pair subject cards with matching verb cards.
