How to use this worksheet
Read the first sentence aloud together and point out the underlined verb. Ask your child whether the action happened in the past, is happening now, or will happen later, using time-clue words in the sentence as hints. Have them write the verb in the matching tense box, then continue through the remaining sentences, discussing each one before writing the answer.
