Past Tense Verbs Worksheet for Kids
Understanding that verbs change form to show when an action happened is an important grammar concept for children ages 4-6, and this worksheet gives them focused practice recognizing and using past tense verbs in context. Filling in blanks with the correct past tense form, circling past tense words, and judging whether a sentence is already in the past tense all approach the same grammar skill from different angles, which helps solidify the pattern. This kind of grammar awareness supports both clearer spoken language and more accurate writing as children begin composing their own sentences.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first sentence together and ask your child to figure out which past tense verb correctly fills in the blank, then have them write it in. Move through the fill-in-the-blank sentences one at a time, sounding out each verb option together if needed. Next, have your child read through a set of sentences and circle any past tense words they spot. Finally, work through the tick-box section together, reading each sentence aloud and deciding whether it describes something that already happened.
