Pronoun–Verb Agreement

​📘 “Pronoun–Verb Agreement: Making Pronouns and Verbs Match!”

Pronouns and verbs must agree — just like nouns and verbs!

What Is a Pronoun?

A pronoun takes the place of a noun.

Examples:

• I

• you

• he

• she

• it

• we

• they

Example:
Sarah runs fast. → She runs fast.

What Is Verb Agreement?

A verb must match the pronoun.

✔ If the pronoun is singular, the verb changes one way.
✔ If the pronoun is plural, the verb changes another way.

Singular Pronouns

Singular pronouns talk about one person or thing.

Singular pronouns:
I, he, she, it

Rule:
➡️ With he, she, it, add -s or -es to the verb.
➡️ I does NOT add -s.

Examples:

• I walk to school.

• He walks to school.

• She jumps high.

• It rains today.

Plural Pronouns

Plural pronouns talk about more than one.

Plural pronouns:
we, you, they

Rule:
➡️ Do NOT add -s or -es to the verb.

Examples:

• We play outside.

• You read the book.

• They run fast.
