This hard worksheet challenges third graders with the trickiest agreement cases. Part A's four multiple-choice questions tackle phrases like "The group of students ___ ready," "Each of the books ___ a different cover," and spotting the error in "The players practices after school." You'll also decide which sentence uses has or have correctly.

Part B has five fill-in-the-blanks featuring sneaky subjects, like "The pile of dirty clothes ___ on the floor," "All of the cupcakes ___ gone," and "One of my shoes ___ missing." By the end, you'll know how to look past prepositional phrases and find the real subject.
