Change the Verb

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a present tense exercise that provides students with sentences containing infinitive verbs, which they are instructed to change to the present tense. Each sentence starts with a subject followed by an infinitive verb in parentheses, such as “I (to get)” or “We (to be),” and the students must fill in the blank with the correct present tense form of the verb. The task is designed to help students understand and apply the rules of present tense verb conjugation in English. An illustration of a character who appears to be thinking hard about the answers underscores the mental effort involved in the exercise.

The worksheet is intended to teach students how to conjugate infinitive verbs into the present tense, focusing on subject-verb agreement and tense consistency. It covers a range of subjects and verb forms, including singular and plural nouns as well as different pronouns, to give students comprehensive practice with present tense conjugation. This activity aims to enhance students’ understanding of how verbs function in sentences and improve their ability to express current actions, habitual activities, and general truths. By completing this exercise, students reinforce their grammatical skills, which are crucial for writing clear and correct sentences in English.
