Grade 5 students get mixed practice with collective nouns and compound subjects in this subject-verb agreement worksheet. Activities review when groups act as one unit and when 'and' joins subjects to make them plural. Fill-in and matching tasks challenge learners to apply rules across many sentences and strengthen their grammar choices. Students decide between singular and plural verbs in compound subjects joined by and, and learn how each pair shifts agreement in Grade 5.
