Subject-Verb Agreement Including Rules For Subject Verb Agreement (in 1st quiz)
 
Neither the apples nor the basket is expensive. 
Rule: When subjects are joined by or, either...or, neither...nor, the verb must agree with the nearer subject.  Please read on...

This page is brief.  It links to several quizzes about subject-verb agreement.  When you open the first quiz, clues (or rules) are provided for each question at the top of the page.  If you work back and forth between the quiz clues and the quiz questions, you can actually "figure out" the correct answers, so by the time you complete this quiz, you will have an excellent understanding of subject-verb agreement rules!

SUBJECT-VERB QUIZZES

Quiz One  This is a "learning" quiz because every question has a "rule" or "clue" that accompanies it.  If you take your time and apply each rule to its corresponding question, it will be possible to "figure out" the correct answer to every question.  You may take this quiz as many times as you wish.  Repeat the quiz until you can apply all the subject-verb agreement rules to the quiz questions.

Quiz Two  Do this quiz after mastering the quiz questions and their rules in the first quiz.  This quiz has no printed clues, but the questions will test your mastery of the rules in the previous quiz.  Like the first quiz, you may take this one as many times as you wish.
