Why students mix up subject and verb

Most errors on a subject verb agreement grammar quiz come from the noun closest to the verb, which is often not the subject. Phrases such as 'the box of pencils' or 'along with her sisters' pull attention away from the real subject.

Collective nouns such as team and family
Either/or and neither/nor subjects
Indefinite pronouns like everyone and each
Inverted sentences that begin with there or here

Example subject-verb agreement quiz questions

The box of pencils ___ on the desk. (is / are)is. The subject is 'box', which is singular, and 'of pencils' is a prepositional phrase that does not change the verb.

Neither the teacher nor the students ___ ready. (is / are)are. With neither/nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, 'students', which is plural.

Everyone in the photos ___ smiling. (is / are)is. 'Everyone' is an indefinite pronoun and takes a singular verb.

True or false: 'Mathematics' is plural because it ends in -s.False. 'Mathematics' is treated as singular in most uses, so it takes a singular verb: 'Mathematics is required.'

Along with her sisters, Maria ___ going to the lake. (is / are)is. The subject is 'Maria'; 'along with her sisters' is an added phrase and does not make the verb plural.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slides, a Word file, plain text or a photo of a page.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Practice and review

Answer in the browser and read the explanation after each question.

Practice works best when the questions use sentences from the course you are taking. A quiz built from your own lecture slides or grammar handout tests the rules you were actually taught, and the explanations point back to those rules.

Start with short sets of five or six questions, then move to fifteen once you can explain each answer aloud. Review the misses first, since they show which trap you still fall into.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the subject when a phrase comes between it and the verb?

Cross out prepositional phrases such as 'of the team' or 'along with her sisters' and check what remains. The verb agrees with the head noun, not with a noun inside the phrase.

How many questions should a subject-verb agreement quiz include?

Ten to fifteen mixed items cover the common traps well, including collective nouns, either/or subjects and indefinite pronouns. Sets of five work for a quick warm-up.

Can I export the quiz to Word or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
