Understanding Subject-Verb Agreement for 12-Year-Olds

To correct the subject-verb agreement error in the sentence "The children enjoys playing in the park," we need to follow these steps:

1. Identify the subject: The subject of this sentence is "the children," which is plural.
2. Identify the verb: The verb in this sentence is "enjoys." This verb form is actually the singular form, used when the subject is singular (e.g., "he enjoys" or "she enjoys").
3. Make the verb agree with the subject: Since our subject, "children," is plural, we need to use the plural form of the verb, which is "enjoy." Therefore, we need to change "enjoys" to "enjoy."

Now, putting it all together, the corrected sentence should read: "The children enjoy playing in the park."
