Pick the verb that matches the subject.
How it works
Each sentence is missing its verb. Find the subject (who or what the sentence is about), tap the verb that agrees with it, then press Next →.
ONE (singular)Joe, he, she, it, the car, the girl
→ verb with -s: Joe runs · It is · She has
→ verb with -s: Joe runs · It is · She has
MORE THAN ONE (plural)they, we, the girls, the boys, Joe and Ana
→ verb with no -s: They run · We are · The boys have
→ verb with no -s: They run · We are · The boys have
Practice 1: is · are · was · were · has · have · had
ONE → is · was · has | MORE THAN ONE → are · were · have
had is the same for both (past). You → are / were / have.
had is the same for both (past). You → are / were / have.
✂️ Practice 3: extra words! Some words sit between the subject and the verb — like The box of crayons ___ on the desk. Cross them out in your head. The verb matches the word that is left: box → is.
Practice 4: There / Here / questions
In these sentences the subject comes AFTER the verb. Skip There or Here and look for the real subject: There are three dogs in the yard.
For a question, flip it around: Where are my shoes? → My shoes are where? → “shoes” is more than one → are.
Practice 5: two tricky kinds of subjects
1️⃣ everyone, somebody, each, nobody, neither, either are always ONE → verb with -s: Everyone is here.
2️⃣ or / nor: match the subject CLOSER to the verb: Neither the teacher nor the students know.
