About this resource

Description

Our writing in verb forms worksheet helps students practice changing a verb from the present tense to the past tense or the future tense. A verb tells what someone does, and its form shows when the action happens. Present tense tells about now, past tense tells about something that already happened, and future tense tells about something that will happen. Students learn that many past tense verbs simply add -ed, some double the last consonant first, some change y to i, and some irregular verbs change completely.

About This Worksheet

This writing in verb forms worksheet starts with a worked example so students can see exactly what to do. Each sentence has one underlined present tense verb and a box that names the tense to use. Students rewrite the whole sentence on the lines, changing only the verb. The verbs include clap, spy, swim, and bite, so children practice a doubled consonant, the will + verb future form, and irregular past tense forms like bit. This 3rd grade verb tenses worksheet works well for morning work, literacy centers, homework, or a quick grammar check.

What’s Included

  • One worked example showing how to rewrite a sentence in the past tense
  • Four sentences to rewrite in the past or future tense
  • Two full writing lines for every sentence
  • An answer key with every rewritten sentence

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

  • Students connect each verb form to the time the action happens.
  • Rewriting the full sentence builds careful handwriting, capitalization, and punctuation habits.
  • Mixing regular and irregular verbs prepares students for the tricky forms they meet in their own writing.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before students begin, read the example aloud and ask children to explain what changed and what stayed the same. After they finish, have students say each sentence in all three tenses. You can also ask children to write one new sentence of their own for each verb, or turn the verbs into a quick game where a partner calls out a tense.
