The document provides a learning package on subject-verb agreement for high school English students. It lists objectives for students to determine appropriate verb forms, demonstrate the value of subject-verb agreement, and complete exercises on the topic. The package includes activities exploring the importance of agreement, examples of sentences requiring analysis to identify the correct verb form, and an analysis section explaining the answers. The goal is for students to understand and properly apply subject-verb agreement rules in their writing.

A.EXPLORE
1. What is the importance of knowing the subject-verb agreement?
How can you apply it in your daily lives?
2. Just like in your agreements with others, how important is it to
conform to agreements? Is it good to forget your agreements with
others? Why or why not?
Writing, a skill required by many jobs on the planet, contains
many chances for mistakes that can make your writing
unclear or even unreadable. Understanding the significance
behind subject-verb agreement can help you write better and
make your writing much easier to understand.
To communicate clearly in the English language, you must
match a singular subject with a singular verb and a plural
subject with a plural verb.

Agreement.
*As a General Principle, singular subjects need singular verbs;
plural subjects need plural verbs.
Directions. Read and analyze the sentences. Underline the correct
