Subject-Verb Agreement Practice for 6th Grade
By Abigail Y.
A short practice worksheet that helps 6th graders master subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense using the verbs practice, walk, try, feel, and know. It includes a reference table of singular and plural forms, a spelling tip for verbs ending in -y, and guided exercises that build grammar accuracy for writing and speaking.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 20 to 30 minute warm-up or independent practice block after a brief mini-lesson on singular and plural subjects.
- Discussion question: Why does "try" become "tries" but "walk" becomes "walks"? What pattern do you notice with verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students circle the subject first, then decide whether it is singular or plural before choosing the verb form.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write three original sentences for each verb, one with a singular subject and one with a plural subject, and to explain any spelling changes.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for completion, plus 5 minutes for reviewing answers together.
