Subject-verb agreement is an essential grammatical rule that involves pairing the right subject with its corresponding verb. It is crucial for students to master this concept, especially in Class 3, as it lays the foundation for building fluent and accurate sentences. Here are some subject-verb agreement exercises that can help students understand and apply this rule effectively.

Exercise 1: Complete the sentence with the correct verb

1. The dogs ________________ (bark) loudly in the park.

2. The bird ________________ (fly) over the trees.

3. My friends ________________ (play) soccer every weekend.

4. The cat ________________ (run) away from the dog.

5. The flowers ________________ (bloom) in spring.

Exercise 2: Circle the correct verb in the sentence

1. The group of students (was/were) happy.

2. Either the teacher or the students (is/are) responsible for the mess.

3. None of the pencils (is/are) sharp.

4. The horse and the cow (grazes/graze) in the field.

5. Each of the students (has/have) a book.

Exercise 3: Write a sentence using the correct subject-verb agreement.

1. My sister (like/likes) to read mysteries.

2. The boys (go/goes) to the playground after school.

3. The cake (smells/smell) delicious.

These exercises will help students practice and improve their subject-verb agreement skills. It is essential to remind them that the subject-verb agreement rule is not limited to present tense sentences and that it applies to all tenses and sentence structures. With consistent practice, students will become more confident in their writing and communication skills.
