English Grammar Test English Grammar Test Subject-Verb Agreement

Question 1

Which sentence demonstrates correct subject-verb agreement?

Accepted Answer

The dog barks loudly.

"The dog barks" is correct because a singular subject ("dog") takes a singular verb ("barks").

Question 2

Choose the sentence with correct subject-verb agreement.

Accepted Answer

She and her sister are coming to the party.

Answer

"She and her sister are" is correct because compound subjects joined by "and" take a plural verb.

Which sentence is correct?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is responsible for their actions.

Answer

"Everyone" is an indefinite pronoun that always takes a singular verb.

Question 4

Select the sentence with correct agreement.

Answer

"News" is a singular noun despite ending in "s," so it takes the singular verb "is."

Neither of the answers is correct.

"Neither" as a subject takes a singular verb, so "is" is correct.
