Agreement in sentences
Ensure subject-verb agreement and pronoun-antecedent agreement within and across sentences
Suggested ages 8–10
Learning journey
Your child is mastering more sophisticated grammar — learning to use different verb tenses correctly, understanding how adjectives and adverbs work, and using punctuation to make their writing clearer and more varied.
Evidence of understanding
- Correct 'The group of children were laughing' to 'The group of children was laughing' and explain the singular subject
- Choose the correct pronoun in 'Each student must bring ____ (his or her / their) book' and explain the antecedent link
- Identify and fix three agreement errors in a short paragraph, explaining each correction
Assessment prompt
If Agreement in sentences writes "Each of the players have their own locker", can they spot the error and fix it to "has their own locker" — making sure the verb matches the subject?
