Use Am Is Are Practice Activities
Class 1 vocabulary worksheets that help children choose am, is, and are correctly in simple everyday sentences.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding am, is, and are
These Class 1 vocabulary worksheets help children practise using am, is, and are in simple sentences. Learners connect each helping verb with the correct subject, such as I am, he is, she is, it is, we are, and they are.
The printable activities include fill-in-the-blanks, sentence reading, matching, and short writing practice. Children build confidence with everyday sentences about people, animals, objects, actions, and feelings.
At this stage, children are learning that words in a sentence must agree with the naming word or pronoun. Am is used only with I. Is is used for one person, animal, place, or thing, such as Riya is happy or The cat is black. Are is used for more than one, and also with you, as in The boys are playing or You are kind.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets begin with clear choices, so children can see the pattern before writing independently. They may circle the correct word, complete sentences, match subjects to helping verbs, or rewrite short sentences. This gradual movement from recognition to sentence-making helps Class 1 learners focus on meaning as well as grammar.
A simple parent routine
Read one sentence aloud and ask your child, “Who is the sentence about?” If the answer is I, say “I am.” If it is one person or one thing, try “is.” If it is many people or things, try “are.” Use home examples: I am ready, Mummy is cooking, The books are on the table. Ask your child to say the full sentence before writing it.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during vocabulary lessons, grammar practice, morning work, or small-group support. They also work well after oral sentence drills. For a quick board activity, write three columns: am, is, are. Let children place pronoun cards or picture cards under the correct column before completing the worksheet.
Common errors to watch for
Many children write I is or They is because they choose the word that “sounds familiar” instead of checking the subject. Some also use are for every sentence with an action word. Encourage them to look at the subject first, not the action. Reading the sentence aloud often helps them hear mistakes.
