Grammar for Grownups Quiz 16

Match the subject with the appropriate verb in these sentences. HINT: Nouns made plural by adding an "s" take verbs without an "s." Single nouns take verbs that end in "s." Just another one of those strange grammar quirks in our crazy language!

1. One of the girls (have/has) curly hair.
2. Boys wearing T-shirts (swim/swims) in the cold river.
3. When a woman (meet/meets) the right man, she (know/knows) it.
4. Men without a spouse (act/acts) silly.
5. Children often (surprise/surprises) their parents.
6. A grandparent (love/loves) every grandchild equally.
7. When a granddaughter (leave/leaves), a grandmother (mourn/mourns).
