To Be

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a grammar exercise centered on the linking verb “to be.” Students are given sentences with a blank space where they must insert the correct form of “to be” to complete the sentence appropriately. The sentences vary in subject and tense, indicating that the exercise includes different conjugations of “to be,” such as “am,” “is,” “are,” “was,” and “were.” The presence of a cartoon character holding books indicates that this is likely intended for a younger audience, perhaps elementary school students.

The worksheet’s educational goal is to teach students how to correctly use the various forms of the linking verb “to be” in context. It helps students understand subject-verb agreement and verb conjugation according to the number (singular or plural) and tense (present or past) of the subject. By filling in the blanks, students practice recognizing and applying the appropriate form of the verb “to be” to describe states of being or characteristics. This task is fundamental for developing proper English sentence structure and verb usage.
