Get the Verb Right: Subject–Verb Agreement with Singular Subjects for Class 3

This Grade 3 worksheet helps students understand subject–verb agreement when the subject is singular. Through engaging grammar exercises such as blanks, multiple-choice questions, rewriting, and sentence formation, children learn how singular subjects pair with singular verb forms in the present tense.

Why Subject–Verb Agreement Matters in Grammar?

Subject–verb agreement builds the foundation for clear sentence construction. For Grade 3 learners, this topic is essential because:

1. It teaches that singular subjects take verb forms with -s or -es.

2. It improves subject-verb matching in writing and conversation.

3. It supports correct tense usage and sentence fluency.

4. It prepares students for broader grammar concepts and editing skills.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet includes four practice-based grammar activities that focus on subject–verb agreement for singular subjects:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Fill in the Blanks

Students choose the correct verb form (e.g., *flies* vs. *fly*) based on singular subjects like *he*, *she*, or *the cat*.

📋 Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice Questions

Students select the correct verb from three options to match the singular subject (e.g., *draws*, *drawing*, *draw*).

📝 Exercise 3 – Rewrite the Sentences
