This challenging worksheet pushes third graders into advanced subject-verb agreement puzzles. Part A's four multiple-choice items cover compound subjects like "Sam and his brother ___ the lawn," indefinite pronouns like "Everyone in the class ___ a turn," and tricky picks between is and are with words like cookies, milk, and pencils.
Part B has five fill-in-the-blanks featuring "The basket of apples," the "Neither the cat nor the dog" rule, students in the hallway, and a rooster that crows before sunrise. After finishing, you'll handle compound and tricky subjects with real confidence in your writing.
