When you write a sentence, your subject and verb must work as a team! If you have a singular subject, which is just one person or thing, your verb usually ends in -s. If you have a plural subject, meaning more than one, your verb does not end in -s. For example, "The dog barks" has a singular subject, while "The dogs bark" has a plural subject.

Strengthening 4th Grade Writing Skills
In fourth grade, students transition from learning basic grammar to applying it in more complex writing structures. Subject-verb agreement is a foundational skill first introduced in third grade. Reviewing this concept regularly helps students avoid common errors as their sentences become longer and more detailed. When kids practice matching singular and plural subjects to their corresponding verbs, they build the self-editing skills needed for essays, book reports, and creative writing projects.
How to Support Your Learner
- Identify the subject first: Ask kids to circle the person or thing doing the action before they choose the verb form.
- Read aloud: Encourage students to read sentences out loud to hear if the verb sounds natural and correct.
- Watch out for collective nouns: Words like "family" or "team" can be tricky because they refer to groups but count as singular subjects.
- Look for interrupting phrases: Remind students to ignore words that come between the subject and the verb, such as "along with" or "in the box."
