Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Match the verb to a singular or a plural subject when choosing between is, are, was and were

  • Apply the exception the review sheet states: I and you take the plural verb form even though the subject is singular

  • Choose the third-person singular present form for a single subject, as in Teri skates and Mr. Torres flies

  • Recall irregular past tense forms such as drank and ate against invented regular forms like drinked and eated

  • Check agreement across a whole sentence rather than in one blank, as the closing item of several decks requires

Teaching tips

  • The review sheet is the teaching half of the package — its Mick walks to school against Mick and Aaron walk to school pairing gives students the rule the 120 questions then test

  • Each deck repeats its fifteen items behind an Answers slide, so it can run straight through in one sitting or be stopped at the END of the question run and marked later

  • The answer sheet slide prints as a Q.1 to Q.15 grid, which lets a whole class record responses while a deck runs on the board

  • Eight decks of fifteen suit a short recurring slot across a term rather than one long session, and the decks are numbered so a sequence is easy to keep

  • Items such as "There ___ no cookies left", "Those scissors ___ blunt" and "Each gift ___ a name on it" turn on subjects students read as the wrong number; they repay discussion rather than silent self-marking

Skills covered

  • Subject-verb agreement in number — items across all eight decks pair a subject with three verb options, as in "Rico ___ a baseball fan" (am / is / are) and "The boots ___ in the truck" (am / was / were).

  • Third-person singular present tense — "Teri ___ across the ice" and "Mr. Torres ___ to Denver twice a month" require the -s form rather than the bare verb or the -ing form.

  • Past-tense agreement — several decks put was against were in the same sentence frame, for example "Pete ___ at the mall last night" and "There ___ a big wave".

  • Irregular past-tense recall — closing items ask directly for the irregular past of drink and eat, with drinked, dranked, eated and ated supplied as distractors.

  • Judging a complete sentence — some decks end on "Choose the sentence that is written correctly", where agreement has to be checked across three full sentences instead of one blank.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the material split across the eight decks?

Fifteen questions to a deck, 120 in all. Each deck opens on its own numbered title slide, runs Q1 to Q15, repeats those same fifteen behind a slide headed Answers, then closes on an END slide and a printable response grid.

What does the review sheet add that the decks do not?

The rule itself. It defines subject and verb, sets singular against plural agreement — "Mick walks to school" beside "Mick and Aaron walk to school" — and adds two exceptions: I and you take the plural verb form, and a past-tense verb keeps one form whatever the subject.

Do all 120 items work the same way?

Most fill a blank from three options, but not all. Some decks close on "Choose the sentence that is written correctly" with three complete sentences to compare, and others on a direct question such as "What is the irregular past tense form of drink?"
