Practice that builds confidence

What children learn about verbs

These Class 1 verbs practice activities help children notice that verbs tell what someone or something does. Learners identify action verbs, choose suitable verbs for pictures, complete sentences, and begin writing their own verb phrases.

The printable worksheets include practice with using verbs, writing verbs, -ing endings, past tense, irregular tense forms, plural verbs, and simple past, present and future tense. Activities move from recognition to sentence use so children build grammar confidence step by step.

At this level, children learn that a verb can show an action such as run, jump, read, eat or sleep. The worksheets ask them to identify verbs in short sentences, match action words to pictures, and write verbs that make sense. This helps them connect grammar to everyday speaking and writing.

Moving from action words to tense

Practice then grows into tense. Children compare what happens now, what happened before, and what will happen later. They work with present, past and future forms, including simple past tense and common irregular verbs such as go/went or eat/ate when included in the activity. -ing endings help children describe actions happening now, such as playing or writing.

Singular, plural and sentence sense

Plural verb activities guide children to hear whether a sentence sounds right with one person or more than one. They also learn that a verb must fit the sentence meaning. For example, “The birds fly” and “The bird flies” show how small verb changes can matter in writing.

A simple parent routine

At home, choose one worksheet and read the instructions aloud. Ask your child to underline the verb, act it out if possible, and then say the full sentence. After finishing, ask for one new sentence using the same verb in a different tense, such as “I play,” “I played,” and “I will play.”

Classroom uses and errors to watch

Teachers can use these printables for grammar centres, morning work, revision, or small-group support after a verbs lesson. Common errors include choosing naming words instead of action words, adding -ed to every past tense verb, forgetting -ing spelling, or using a verb that does not match the subject. Quick oral practice before writing helps reduce these mistakes.
