Past, Present and Future Verbs Worksheet
- 1st grade
- CCSS L.1.1e
A free, printable past, present and future verbs worksheet for 1st grade. Your child fills in a verb chart, labels sentences by time and writes about yesterday and tomorrow. Answer key included.
What's inside
- Page 1: write past and future forms for 6 verbs, then label 5 sentences past, present or future.
- Page 2: fix 3 sentences, then write about yesterday and tomorrow.
- Page 3: answer key.
How to use it
- Teach or review the rule first with the past, present and future verbs lesson. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Read the directions for each part out loud. Early readers can point while you read.
- Check Part A together before your child goes on, so any confusion gets fixed early.
- Use the answer key on the last page.
Prints on US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). No sign-up needed.
Tips for doing it together
- Keep it short. One page a day is plenty for most young children, and two short sessions beat one long one.
- Let your child read each sentence out loud before answering. Many mistakes get caught by ear.
- Mark a mistake with a small dot instead of an X, and let your child find and fix it. That's where the learning happens.
What your child is practicing
Verbs change to show time: yesterday I walked, today I walk, tomorrow I will walk. That's the exact example in the 1st grade standard. Part C works on the two most common mix-ups: forgetting -ed and writing will played.
