To build on our school-wide focus on the Literacy and Numeracy Co-Requisites coming up, can we ask for your continued help with our junior students’ written accuracy, please? 

In this, the fourth instalment of our literacy drive run by English teacher Sarah Ward, we’re covering subject and verb agreement. 

In sentences, the subject and the verb must agree in number.  

If the subject is singular, then the verb must be singular (which will often have an ‘s’ at the end).  If the subject is plural, then the verb must be in the plural form.

Ngā mihi!
