Subject and Verb Agree
Keep agreement in long sentences with words between the subject and verb.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 34
- A verb must agree with its subject, even when other words get in the way. The box of old books is heavy.
- Books is right beside the verb, but it isn't the subject. Cross out the phrase of old books.
- One of the windows is open. One is the subject, so the verb is singular.
Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
