Subject -verb Agreement Test

Subject-verb agreement is the grammatical rule that the subject of a sentence must agree in number with its verb. Singular subjects take singular verbs, and plural subjects take plural verbs.

You use a singular verb when the subject is singular (one person or thing). For example, 'The dog barks.'

You use a plural verb when the subject is plural (more than one person or thing). For example, 'The dogs bark.'

The correct verb form is 'wins' because 'team' is a collective noun treated as singular.

The correct verb form is 'were' because the subject 'students' is plural.

The correct verb form is 'helps' because 'a book or a magazine' is treated as singular.

The correct verb form is 'play' because 'boys' is plural.

This sentence is correct because both subjects are plural and the verbs agree.

The correct verb form is 'arranges' because 'class' is treated as singular.

The correct verb form is 'collects' because 'Jack or Jill' is treated as singular.
