About this resource
Description
Irregular verbs are the verbs that break the rule. Most verbs move into the past tense by adding -ed, but irregular verbs change shape in ways a child simply has to learn and remember: run becomes ran, eat becomes ate, and give becomes gave. This Use Irregular Verbs Worksheet gives second graders focused practice with the most common irregular past tense verbs, which are the very ones that turn up in the stories they read and the sentences they write every day.
On this printable, students first write the past tense of six irregular verbs on a solid handwriting line. Then they move on to five sentences, read the cue verb printed in the box beside each one, and write its past tense form in the blank. Because the cue is given but the answer is not, children have to produce the irregular form themselves instead of copying it. This 2nd grade parts of speech worksheet works well as morning work, as a quick check after a grammar mini-lesson, or as homework, and the included answer key makes grading fast.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 write-the-past-tense verb items and 5 fill-in-the-blank sentences
Three things make this resource work. First, it isolates the skill: every item on the page targets irregular past tense verbs, so nothing else competes for a child’s attention. Second, it moves from single words to whole sentences, which is how a young writer carries a rule out of memory and into real writing. Third, the Use Irregular Verbs Worksheet asks students to produce each form rather than choose it from a list, and production is what makes an irregular verb stick.
Teachers and parents can keep the practice going away from the page. Play a quick round of “change it to yesterday,” where you say a sentence in the present tense and your child says it again in the past. Keep an irregular verb chart on the wall and add one new pair each week. Read a favorite picture book together and hunt for verbs that changed shape instead of adding -ed. Acting the verbs out, or singing about them, gives children one more way to hold on to the forms that do not follow the rule.
