This Grade 5 worksheet builds skills with collective nouns and compound subjects joined by 'and'. Students decide whether words like team, family, and class take singular verbs and how compound subjects become plural. Through fill-in and matching activities, learners practice spotting the true number of the subject and choosing verbs that agree clearly. Students apply collective-noun rules and treat teams, families, and committees as single units in clear Grade 5 grammar sentences.
