This Grade 3 worksheet helps students understand and apply the rules of subject–verb agreement in sentences and short paragraphs. Learners practise matching verbs correctly with singular and plural subjects, even in longer sentences that include phrases like “with,” “along with,” or “near.”
The worksheet offers step-by-step practice where children identify correct and incorrect verb usage, choose the right verb form, complete sentences using clues, correct errors in long sentences, and apply their learning in a meaningful paragraph-writing task. These activities help students focus on the main subject of a sentence and choose verbs that agree correctly, building accuracy and confidence in grammar and writing.
Understanding subject–verb agreement is essential for clear and correct sentences. This topic is important for Grade 3 learners because:
1. It teaches students to match singular subjects with singular verbs and plural subjects with plural verbs.
2. It helps children focus on the main subject, even when extra words come in between.
3. It reduces common errors in long and complex sentences.
4. It strengthens sentence structure for speaking, reading, and writing.
This worksheet contains five engaging exercises that guide children from identification to correct application:
Exercise 1 – True or False
Students mark True if the verb agrees with the main subject in each long sentence and False if it does not.
Exercise 2 – Choose the Correct Sentence

Help your child write clear and correct sentences by mastering subject–verb agreement through guided, confidence-building grammar practice.
Subject verb agreement means the verb must match the subject in number, such as “she runs” and “they run.”
Children may focus on nearby words instead of the main subject, especially in longer sentences.
Worksheets provide repeated sentence-level practice that builds confidence and accuracy for CBSE English students.
