Mixed Practice Exercises (Easy)

This review exercise combines the basic rules of subject-verb agreement at an introductory level. The core principle is straightforward: a singular subject takes a verb with -s (he walks, she eats, it works), and a plural subject takes a verb without -s (they walk, we eat, you work). Uncountable nouns like "information," "money," and "water" are always singular: "The information is correct."

At A2 level, you should also recognise that "of" phrases do not change the verb: "The colour of the flowers is red" — the subject is "colour," not "flowers." Indefinite pronouns like "everyone" and "nobody" take a singular verb: "Everyone is here." Finally, remember that there is goes with singular nouns and there are goes with plural nouns. If you can apply these five patterns confidently, you have a solid foundation and are ready for more complex agreement challenges at B1 level and above. Cambridge A2 Key regularly tests all five of these rules.
