Raptor Escape

Worksheet Description

Students complete a short adventure story about a baby dinosaur escaping from a science lab. Each blank includes a root word, and students must change it into the correct -ed or -ing form so the sentence sounds right. The story follows a scientist as she chases the dinosaur through the building and safely returns it to its pen. Students use both time clues and sentence meaning to decide which ending belongs.

This worksheet helps students understand the difference between an action that already happened and one that is still happening. They practice changing root words while following spelling rules such as doubling consonants or dropping a final e. Using the forms inside a connected story makes the grammar easier to understand and remember. This builds sentence fluency, verb control, reading comprehension, and confidence writing action scenes.

This worksheet is part of our adding -ed and -ing worksheet series.
