Description
Knowing when to use is and when to use are is one of the first grammar rules second graders master. The verb be has to agree with its subject: one person, animal, or thing takes is, while two or more take are. This Is Are Fill in the Blank Worksheet gives students focused practice matching the right form of be to singular and plural subjects, so subject-verb agreement starts to feel automatic in their own writing.
This 2nd grade verbs worksheet keeps the practice clear and uncluttered. In Part A, students read six sentences and write is or are on the line to complete each one. In Part B, they read three more sentences and circle the correct word inside the box. Use it as morning work, as a quick check after a grammar mini-lesson, as homework, or as a literacy center activity. The included answer key makes grading fast, and the full-color illustration gives beginning readers a friendly visual anchor.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 fill-in-the-blank sentences and 3 circle-the-correct-word sentences
There are three reasons this Is Are Fill in the Blank Worksheet helps kids learn subject-verb agreement. First, it isolates one skill, so students are not juggling several grammar rules at the same time. Second, it uses two different question formats — writing the answer and choosing between two answers — which builds recall as well as recognition. Third, every sentence is written at a second grade reading level with familiar vocabulary, so students spend their thinking on the verb instead of on decoding the sentence.
Teachers and parents can keep this skill going away from the page. Say a subject out loud — the puppy, my cousins, that basket — and have your child answer with is or are in a full sentence. Sort picture cards into an “is” pile and an “are” pile. Read a favorite picture book together and hunt for every is and are on the page, then talk about whether the subject names one thing or more than one. Building sentences with magnetic words or sticky notes gives students a hands-on way to test their choice.
