Second Sentence

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is structured to help students practice adding the suffix ‘-ing’ to verbs within the context of sentences. Each numbered item consists of two sentences: the first sentence includes a verb in its base form, and the second sentence is incomplete, prompting the student to fill in the blank with the ‘-ing’ form of the verb provided. For example, “John runs everywhere. John is ____.” Students must understand the context of the first sentence to correctly complete the second sentence with the present continuous tense. The exercise is repeated across ten different sentences, each with a unique verb to be transformed.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the construction of the present continuous tense, which describes actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. It emphasizes the grammatical concept of verb conjugation by showing students how to change the base form of a verb into its ‘-ing’ form in a sentence. This task also reinforces the concept of subject-verb agreement in the present continuous tense. Through this exercise, students enhance their understanding of tense usage in English and practice creating grammatically correct sentences.
