Subject verb agreement worksheet spanish

Introduction

Subject-verb agreement is a very prominent feature of Spanish grammar. When conjugated, Spanish verb forms, by their spelling and sound, show agreement with their subjects to a far greater extent than do their English counterparts.
Subject and verb agree in person (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) and number (singular or plural).
Subjects and the verbs they go with are arranged in conjugations of six forms: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, each used in singular and plural. (See below).

Singular	Plural
1st person	I *talk*	we / you and I talk
2nd person	you (singular) talk	you (plural) talk
3rd person	he, she, John, Lisa, the boy talks	they / John and Mary / the girls talk

Only the verbto behas more than two forms in the present tense (am, is, are).
In the past tense, it is the only verb with more than one form (was, were). All other English verbs, regular and irregular, use just one form (talked, read, saw, etc.) for all persons.
In the future tense, English verbs show no subject-verb agreement whatsoever: I, you, he, we, they will do, speak, go, etc.

PRESENT TENSE CONJUGATION OF A REGULAR SPANISH VERB ( hablar , to speak)

Since the verb forms themselves usually signal what the subject is, subject pronouns are very often omitted in Spanish:
- (Yo) soy Tomás. (Yo) soy de España. (Yo) hablo español.
- Yo soy de México, pero tú eres de Venezuela.
- Ella habla español, pero él habla francés.
Common and proper nouns are used as subjects, either singly or in combination with other nouns or with pronouns. They follow the same agreement principles as subject pronouns; an illustration:
