About this resource
Description
A verb is the word that tells what someone or something does, and finding it is the first step in understanding any sentence. This verb sentences worksheet asks third graders to do exactly that twice over: first to spot the verb hiding among a noun and an adjective, and then to fix a verb that has been written in the wrong tense. Both tasks put the verb back inside a real sentence rather than leaving it on a list, which is where students actually have to recognize one.
This 3rd grade verbs worksheet has two parts. In Part A, three words sit above each sentence — one noun, one adjective, and one action verb — and students write the verb into the blank where it belongs. In Part B, a box of four past tense verbs sits above four sentences whose underlined verbs are in the wrong tense, and students write the correct past tense form on the line. Print it for a grammar lesson, a literacy center, morning work, or homework. A complete answer key fills page two.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Part A: 4 word groups with one noun, one adjective, and one verb each
- Part B: a 4-word past tense box and 4 sentences to correct
- Regular and irregular past tense verbs: swept, drew, taught, and caught
- A complete answer key
Three reasons this resource helps children learn verbs. First, putting a noun and an adjective next to the verb makes students decide by function rather than by guessing, which is the skill the standard actually names. Second, the sentence under each group gives them a way to check themselves: only a verb will make the sentence work. Third, the tense section moves past naming a verb into using one correctly, and mixing regular past tense forms with irregular ones stops students from applying the -ed rule to every word.
Teachers and parents can build on this verb sentences worksheet in several quick ways. Have students underline every verb in a page of their own reading and sort them into past and present. Play a short round of charades where a partner has to guess the action verb and then use it in a sentence. Keep a running class list of irregular past tense verbs on chart paper and add to it whenever one turns up in a book. Ask students to rewrite one Part B sentence as something that happens today, so the verb has to change again.
