Use the Right Verb with Plural Subjects: Subject–Verb Agreement for Class 3

This Grade 3 worksheet teaches learners how to use the correct verb form when the subject is plural. With activities like blanks, MCQs, sentence correction, and sentence formation, students learn how plural subjects follow base verb forms (no -s or -es).

Why Subject–Verb Agreement Matters in Grammar?

Subject–verb agreement helps students write and speak correctly. For Grade 3 learners, this is especially important because:

1. Plural subjects need base-form verbs without “s” or “es.”

2. It builds clarity and correctness in sentence formation.

3. It lays the foundation for present tense grammar mastery.

4. It improves writing fluency and accuracy.
