A Set of Subject Verb Agreement Compound Subjects Worksheets

Teaching subject-verb agreement can be tricky, especially when students encounter compound subjects. Compound subjects consist of two or more nouns (or pronouns) joined by a conjunction. The verb must agree with the compound subject based on whether it is considered singular or plural.

This set of subject-verb agreement compound subjects worksheets provides clear, structured practice to help students master this essential grammar rule. Designed for elementary school classrooms, these worksheets include a variety of activities to reinforce correct verb usage.

The activities you will find in this pack of subject-verb agreement worksheets are:

1. Match-Up – Read each sentence and choose the correct verb from the word bank to make the subject and verb agree. 
2. Proofreading –  Read the passage and circle the mistakes. Write the correct verb using proper subject-verb agreement.
3. Fix-It – Read the text message chain and circle the mistakes. Write the correct form of the verb in the space provided.
4. Spin and Write – Spin a subject and a verb, then write a complete sentence using correct subject-verb agreement.
