About this worksheet
A verb has to agree with its subject. One duck walks; two ducks walk. In the present tense, a singular subject takes a verb ending in -s, and a plural subject does not.
That runs backward from nouns, where -s means more than one, which is why it is worth practicing on its own.
A worked example
The small frog ___. (jumps / jump)
- Find the subject: the small frog.
- Is it one or more than one? One frog.
- One takes the verb with -s: jumps.
Answer: The small frog jumps.
The common mistake
What it looks like: Putting -s on both: "The sleepy hens sleeps."
Why it happens: Children learn that -s means "more than one" and add it to the verb as well as the noun.
How to fix it: Only one word in the pair gets the -s. If the subject has it (hens), the verb doesn't (sleep).
