Introduction (5 minutes)

1. Ask the class: “What do you think is meant by subject-verb agreement?”
   • Allow a few responses and write key ideas on the board.
2. Define subject and verb agreement: Explain that the subject (who or what the sentence is about) must agree with the verb (the action or state of being) in number (singular or plural). For example, “The cat runs” (singular) vs. “The cats run” (plural).

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Present Rules:

   • Singular Subjects take singular verbs:
     • Example: The dog barks.
   • Plural Subjects take plural verbs:
     • Example: The dogs bark.
   • When using “he,” “she,” or “it,” use a singular verb.
   • When using “they” or a plural noun, use a plural verb.

2. Write Examples on the board:

   • Singular:
     • She runs fast.
   • Plural:
     • They run fast.
   • Discuss contraction forms: “It’s” represents “it is,” require singular.
