audio buttonThis week we looked at subject/verb agreement in present, past, and future tense.

audio buttonPresent Tense

A subject and verb need to be in agreement.

Singular- He laughs when I tell a joke.

Plural- They laugh when I tell a joke.

audio buttonPresent Tense

Some subjects always take a singular verb.

Everyone sings along to this song.

audio buttonPast Tense

We do not worry about subjects with past tense action verbs.

I danced to the music.

audio buttonPast Tense

The form of "to be" depends on the subject.

Singular- The monkey was at the zoo.

Plural- The monkeys were at the zoo.

audio buttonFuture Tense

We do not have to worry about the subject when creating future tense sentences. To make a verb future tense, we add "will" before the verb.

They will sing at the concert next week.

audio buttonFuture Tense

The future perfect tense tells us something will happen in the future. We add "have."

I will have read ten books by the end of summer.

audio buttonToday, we are going to combine what we know about the tenses to match them in a sentence.

When you have finished reviewing, complete the worksheet and submit it to your teacher.
