III. Grammar Topic: Subject-verb agreement
Motivation: CHOOSE ME RIGHT!
The teacher is going to present a visual aid with four sentences on the board that lets them
identify the correct verbs in each sentence. The students are involved in an interactive
discussion.
Guide questions:
a. Can you choose the correct two verbs in each sentence?
b. To recognize the subject, who is acting?
c. To know the verb, what is the subject doing?
TEACHERS INPUT
In order to find out if our subject and verb agree, there is a need to identify the subject of our sentence.
In Sample (a), the subject is singular, therefore our verb is singular. In sample (b), our subject is plural,
therefore our verb is plural. Notice the difference in the formation of the subject from singular to plural
compared to the formation of the verb from singular to plural. When we make a subject plural, we usually
add s or es, but when we make a verb singular, we add s.
Additional Rules
1. If subjects are joined by and, they are considered plural.
Example: The quarterback and the coach are having a conference.
2. If subjects are joined by or or nor, the verb should agree with the closer subject.
Example: Either the baby or the puppies drink milk.
3. The relative pronouns (who, whom, which, and that) are either singular or plural, depending on the
words they refer to.
Example: The sales manager is a good researcher who spends a great amount of time surfing
the Web for information.
6. Expressions stating amount of time, money, weight, volume are plural in form but take a singular verb
as in:
Example: Two hundred dollars is a lot of money.
Students Practice:
1. We ride/rode horses last Sunday.
2. Mumps is/are a sore disease.
3. There are various fish/fishes in the fishbowl.
4. God save/saves our king.
5. Both these boys is/are going to market.
Group Work:
Students, in their quality circles, construct five subject-verb agreement sentences. Following that,
each group will determine the subject and verb. Those groups that respond first will automatically receive
one point. The evaluation will be based on their performance, completeness of answer, and authenticity
of explanation.
The output and performance will be judged according to the following rubric:
