Lesson script

Introduction to Subject-Verb Agreement

"Good morning, class! Today, we're going to dive into an important topic in English called subject-verb agreement. Can anyone tell me what they think subject-verb agreement means? [Pause for responses.]

Great, subject-verb agreement means that the subject of our sentence and the verb must match in number. For example, if we have 'The dog barks,' 'dog' is singular, so we use 'barks.' On the other hand, if we say 'The dogs bark,' 'dogs' is plural, and we use 'bark.' Let's write those examples on the whiteboard!"

[Write examples on the whiteboard and briefly discuss them.]

Direct Instruction

"Now, let's go over some rules about subject-verb agreement.

1. If the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. For example: 'She runs.'
2. If the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. For example: 'They run.'
3. Some subjects might look plural but are singular, like 'everyone' or 'each.' For instance: 'Everyone loves pizza.'

Let's do a quick exercise together. I will say some subjects, and I want you to tell me the correct verb form. Ready?

1. The cat (to run).
2. The children (to play).

Fantastic! You all are doing great! Remember, the key is to always match your verbs to your subjects."

Activity: Printable Cards

"Alright, now we are going to do a fun activity using printable cards. Each of you will receive a card with a subject on one side and a verb on the other. Your job will be to fill in the correct verb form to match the subject.

Please take a card from the stack at my desk. Once you have your card, you will write the correct verb form next to the subject. Remember the rules we just went over!

Ready? Go ahead and grab your cards!"

Independent Practice

"Now you have five minutes to complete your cards. Make sure that the verb matches the subject correctly. If you're unsure, take a look at your notes or think about the examples we discussed.

[Allow students time to work on their cards. Walk around the classroom to assist those who may need help.]

Time's up! Please finish up your last answer."

Collecting Cards

"Now, let's collect your cards! Please pass them to the front. I'll be checking a few randomly to see if you filled them out correctly. If you feel confident about your answers, give yourself a pat on the back!

[Collect the cards and check through them briefly.]

Great job, everyone! You worked hard today."

Review and Recap

"To wrap up our lesson, let's quickly review what we learned today about subject-verb agreement. Can anyone remind me of the basic rule we discussed? [Pause for student responses.]

Excellent! Remember that when we have a singular subject, we use a singular verb, and the same goes for plural subjects. Does anyone have any questions about what we've covered?

If there are no questions, don't forget, for homework, you'll have a worksheet on subject-verb agreement to reinforce what we've talked about today. I'll collect that next class.

Thank you all for your hard work! Have a great day!"
