A Paperless Singular and Plural Subject-Verb Agreement Activity for Teaching Grammar

Subject-verb agreement is a difficult concept for many students to grasp. They struggle to make their subjects and verbs agree, especially when using singular and plural subjects in their sentences.

This digital singular and plural subject-verb agreement activity provides your students with an opportunity for fun and engaging practice in the classroom. The file features an instructional reference page explaining how singular and plural subjects operate in sentences, then a further twelve activity slides. Each slide contains sentences that are missing the correct form of the verb. Students must choose the correct form of the verb from the options provided, then drag and drop it into place in the sentence.

This resource downloads as an editable Google Slides file. Simply project it onto your screen, and you have a ready-made activity for exploring singular and plural subject-verb agreement words. A printable PDF containing the answers is also available via a separate dropdown.
