                       Subject-Verb Agreement

     The subject of a sentence tells whom or what the sentence is
     about. The verb is an action word that tells what the subject
     is or does. The subject and the verb in a sentence must agree
     in number and person. Most singular verbs end in -s. Removing
     the final -s makes the verbs plural.
         Those boys play basketball.
         That girl plays soccer.

    Determine whether the subject in each sentence is singular
    or plural. Circle the correct form of the verb. Then write
    the verb on the line.

             Letler Formation
               In cursive writing, most of the letters within a word are connected. When using
             handwriting paper, lowercase cursive letters touch the middle line, and uppercase
             cursive letters as well as lowercase cursive letters with ascenders touch the top line.

              There are three distinctive beginning strokes for cursive letters: curve up, curve
             down, and curve over. The lowercase letters that have beginning strokes that curve
             up are .4, .e’, ,b, 2’, j-, .4 2-, k~ AZ, .~z, 2’, w, and -to-. The letters that have
                           .~,

             beginning strokes that curve down are a-’, c’, d.’, r~ o-, and q”. The letters that have
             beginning strokes that curve over are ,-inz, ,n-’, iv-,
                                                                 ~‘,  r~ and
               Another stroke is the slant stroke, which occurs before or after a curve in
             letters with multiple strokes. The strokes in between the letters of a word are
             called connectives.
