The Present Participle

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is about identifying and understanding the present participle in English grammar. The present participle is formed by adding -ing to the base form of a verb and can be used with auxiliary verbs to describe ongoing actions. The worksheet provides instructions for students to mark sentences that contain a present participle with an “X.” It offers a list of sentences where students must identify which ones correctly use the present participle.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to recognize the present participle in different sentences. By marking the sentences that contain a present participle, students reinforce their knowledge of continuous verb tenses that indicate actions happening at the moment of speaking. This exercise helps students understand the structure of the present continuous tense and its usage in describing current, ongoing actions. Through this practice, students enhance their ability to express actions in progress and increase their grammatical proficiency.
