Subject Verb Agreement For Grade 3

Subject-verb agreement requires that the verb matches the subject in number; singular subjects take singular verbs, while plural subjects take plural verbs. Special cases include 'I' and 'you', which, despite being singular, use plural verbs. A helpful tip is to remember that singular subjects typically have verbs ending in -s, while plural subjects do not.

What Is Subject-Verb Agreement?

Subject-verb agreement means the verb must match the subject in a sentence. If the
subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb
should be plural too.

1. Singular Subject = Singular Verb

Examples:

●​ He plays soccer.​

●​ The cat sleeps on the bed.​

●​ My friend likes pizza.​

🔹 Add “s” or “es” to the verb when the subject is he, she, or it.

2. Plural Subject = Plural Verb

Examples:

●​ They play soccer.​

●​ The cats sleep on the bed.​

●​ My friends like pizza.​

🔹 Do not add “s” to the verb when the subject is I, you, we, or they.

3. Special Subjects: I and You

Even though "I" and "you" are singular, they use plural verbs.
Examples:

●​ I like ice cream.​

●​ You run fast.​

Check Your Sentences:

●​ ✅ The bird flies. (Correct)​


●​ ❌ The bird fly. (Wrong)​
●​ ✅ The birds fly. (Correct)​
●​ ❌ The birds flies. (Wrong)​

✅ Tip to Remember:
🔸 Singular subject → verb ends in -s​
🔸 Plural subject → verb has no -s
