Grammar Harmony: Subject-Verb Agreement for Class 7

This worksheet introduces Class 7 students to one of the most essential grammar rules: making sure the verb agrees with its subject. From singular/plural challenges to compound and collective subjects, learners get practical exposure through multiple scaffolded tasks.

Why Subject-Verb Agreement Matters in Grammar?

Grammatical agreement between subject and verb ensures clarity and correctness. For Class 7 learners, this is critical because:
1. It prevents common sentence construction errors.
2. It improves writing fluency and reading comprehension.
3. It strengthens foundational grammar for essays, reports, and speech.
4. It prepares learners for advanced topics like clauses and modals.

What’s Inside This Worksheet?

This worksheet contains six structured grammar exercises focused on agreement between the subject and the verb in various contexts:

🧠 Exercise 1 – Identify Subject and Verb Agreement
Students underline the subject, circle the verb, and label whether the subject and verb agree.

✏️ Exercise 2 – Sorting Correct vs Incorrect Sentences
Learners identify which sentences follow subject-verb agreement rules and sort them accordingly.

📋 Exercise 3 & 4 – Fill in the Correct Verb + Error Correction
Part A asks learners to choose the correct verb for each subject. Part B has sentences with subject-verb errors for students to rewrite correctly.

📝 Exercise 5 – Sentence Rewriting with Adjustments
Learners are given flawed subject-verb pairings and must rewrite the sentence with correct agreement.

📚 Exercise 6 – Paragraph with Subject Variety
Students write a paragraph that includes a collective noun, a compound subject, and an indefinite pronoun — all with accurate subject-verb pairing.
