Changing Form

Worksheet Description

The worksheet is a present tense exercise designed for students to practice conjugating various infinitive verbs into the present tense form to match the given subjects. It lists subjects in both singular and plural forms, such as “Mary” or “Pete and Ann,” alongside infinitive verbs like “to cooperate” or “to reduce.” Students are expected to write the correct present tense form of each verb in the space provided next to the corresponding subject. The straightforward format of the worksheet is aimed at reinforcing the correct use of present tense verb conjugations in written English.

The worksheet is teaching students the fundamental skill of verb conjugation in the present tense, a key aspect of grammar in English. By converting infinitive verbs to their present tense forms, students learn to recognize and apply the rules of subject-verb agreement, which differ for singular and plural subjects. This exercise also helps to reinforce the grammatical structure of sentences and improve written communication skills. Additionally, it can serve as a diagnostic tool for teachers to assess students’ understanding of present tense verb forms in various contexts.
