About this resource
Description
Learning to choose between is, am, and are is one of the first big steps toward writing clear sentences, and this using is am are worksheet gives second graders focused practice with all three. The verb be changes its form to match the subject of the sentence: I takes am, a single person or thing takes is, and you, we, and plural subjects take are. Once students hear that pattern, both their speaking and their writing get sharper.
This 2nd grade verbs worksheet keeps the practice clear and uncluttered. Part A gives students a small word bank and six sentences with a blank line, so they read the subject, decide which form of be agrees with it, and write the word. Part B moves to three fill-in-the-bubble sentences, where students choose between two close options instead of writing. Use it as morning work, a grammar center, homework, or a quick check before a language arts test.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 write-the-word sentences and 3 fill-in-the-bubble sentences
Three things make this using is am are worksheet work well for young writers. First, every sentence is built around a familiar, everyday subject, so students spend their thinking on the grammar rule instead of on hard vocabulary. Second, the two formats ask for the same skill in two different ways, which shows a teacher whether a student truly knows the rule or is simply guessing. Third, the included answer key lets students check their own work and fix a mistake right away, while the reason for it is still fresh.
Teachers and parents can keep this skill going all week. Say a subject out loud, such as the dog, my friends, or I, and have your child answer with the matching form of be. Write is, am, and are on three index cards and let students hold up the right card as you read sentences aloud. During read-aloud time, ask students to listen for these three words and count how often each one turns up. You can also have them write three sentences about their own day, one with each word, and read them to a partner.
