About this resource
Description
Irregular verbs are tricky because they do not follow the usual rule of adding -ed to show the past tense. Words like go, swim, and grow change in surprising ways—go becomes went, swim becomes swam, and grow becomes grew. This Finding Irregular Verbs Worksheet helps third graders spot the correct past tense form of common irregular verbs so their speaking and writing sound just right.
This 3rd grade verbs worksheet gives students two clear activities. In Part A, they read six present-tense verbs and fill in the bubble beside the correct past tense choice. In Part B, they write the past tense of four more verbs on the line. Read the directions together, work the first item as a class, and encourage students to say each verb in a sentence to hear whether it sounds correct.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 2 activities: a multiple-choice past-tense section and a write-the-verb section
This Finding Irregular Verbs Worksheet supports learning in three ways. First, the fill-in-the-bubble format lets students focus on the verb forms instead of copying long sentences. Second, mixing multiple-choice items with write-in answers builds both recognition and recall. Third, the familiar action verbs connect grammar to real life, making irregular past tense easier to remember at school and at home.
Teachers and parents can make irregular verbs fun in everyday moments. Play a quick game where one person says a present-tense verb and the other gives its past tense. Keep a running chart of tricky verbs on the wall and add new ones each week. Act out verbs like swim, fly, and run, then say them in the past tense. Reading favorite stories aloud and pointing out irregular verbs also helps children notice the patterns.
