Description
Knowing when to use is and when to use are is one of the first steps toward writing clear, correct sentences. The Is Are Pictures Worksheet helps second graders master this piece of subject-verb agreement by matching each picture to the right form of the verb “to be.” When a picture shows a single object, students write is; when it shows more than one, they write are. This visual approach turns an abstract grammar rule into something children can see, sort, and understand.
This 2nd grade verbs worksheet presents eight friendly pictures — a puppy, two cats, an apple, a bunch of balloons, and more. Students look closely at each image, decide whether it shows one thing or many, and write is or are on the line below. Use it as morning work, a quick grammar check, homework, or a literacy center. Because the pictures do the talking, even emerging readers can finish it with confidence, and the included answer key makes checking fast.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 8 picture-based is/are activities
The Is Are Pictures Worksheet helps kids learn this skill in three ways. First, the picture clues make singular and plural obvious, so students can focus on the verb choice instead of decoding words. Second, writing the answer on the line reinforces spelling and handwriting right alongside grammar. Third, the balanced mix of singular and plural items builds the habit of checking the noun before choosing the verb — a skill that carries into every sentence a child writes.
Keep the learning going beyond the page. Say a noun aloud and have children call out “is” or “are” to match it, or hunt for singular and plural objects around the room. Parents can point to items at the dinner table — “The plates ___ on the table” — and ask their child to fill in the blank. Pairing the worksheet with a verb song or a quick sorting game keeps practice playful while cementing the rule.
