Verb Worksheets

What is a verb?

A verb conveys action (run, walk, think) or a state of being (am, were, etc.). A complete sentence requires a subject, which is usually a noun or pronoun, and a predicate, which is usually a verb.

Using Irregular Verbs: Past Tense

For some verbs, we don’t use -ed to form the past tense. Instead, we use a completely different word. With this printable activity, students will be asked to fill in the blank of each sentence with the past tense form of the verb that is given. For example, change to present tense of the verb, sit, to the past tense of the verb, sat.

Verb Endings: -ed

When something happened in the past, a verb should be in the past tense. For many words, adding the ending -ed to the verb makes it past tense. For example, by adding -ed onto the verb, talk, it becomes the past tense verb, talked. With this helpful activity, students will practice rewriting present tense verbs in the past tense.
