Matching the Tenses

Worksheet Description

On this worksheet, students circle the auxiliary verb that should go in the blank. The various sentences in this exercise have students focusing on their tenses as they choose the correct auxiliary verb.

To complete this worksheet, students will first identify the tense of the sentence, such as present, past, or future. They will then choose the auxiliary verb that matches the appropriate tense. They also need to ensure that the auxiliary verb agrees with the subject of the sentence in terms of number and person. Singular subjects generally require “is” or “has,” while plural subjects require “are” or “have.”
