Subject and verb agreement in writing
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing or idea that is doing or being something. The verb that follows the subject changes according to whether the subject is singular or plural. Verbs also change according to whether the sentence is in the present or past tense. Can you complete this table with the correct subjects and verbs?

Can you finish these sentences to show contrasting opinions? Choose a connective from the box below and then write two second parts for each sentence, one supporting zoos and one in opposition to zoos. An example is done for you.
