Adding Ed or Ing Lesson Plans & Worksheets Reviewed by Teachers - Free Printable

Let me work through this suffix word endings worksheet step by step.

The instructions say:
- Add "-ed" to show something happened in the past
- Add "-ing" to show something is happening now

I need to fill in each blank with the correct form of the verb from the word bank.

Word bank: talking, riding, showing, jumping, looking, calling, walking, hiking, eating, taking

Let me go through each sentence:

1. "I am ___ on the phone with my grandparents."
- "am" indicates present continuous (happening now)
- Need "-ing" form
- Talking fits here
- Answer: talking

2. "My brother and I ___ on the trampoline yesterday."
- "yesterday" indicates past tense
- Need "-ed" form
- Jumping would be jumped
- Answer: jumped

3. "My friends and I ___ to school last week."
- "last week" indicates past tense
- Need "-ed" form
- Walking would be walked
- Answer: walked

4. "The mouse is ___ around the house for the cat."
- "is" indicates present continuous (happening now)
- Need "-ing" form
- Looking fits here
- Answer: looking

5. "Jack ___ on the phone last night."
- "last night" indicates past tense
- Need "-ed" form
- Calling would be called
- Answer: called

6. "I ___ my dad what I found last week."
- "last week" indicates past tense
- Need "-ed" form
- Showing would be showed
- Answer: showed

7. "Megan is ___ all over the world and shopping."
- "is" indicates present continuous (happening now)
- Need "-ing" form
- Traveling isn't in the word bank... let me check again
- Looking? No, that doesn't fit well
- Wait, maybe it's "traveling" but that's not in the bank
- Let me reconsider - could be "looking" but that seems odd
- Actually, checking the word bank again: talking, riding, showing, jumping, looking, calling, walking, hiking, eating, taking
- "Hiking" could work - hiking all over the world
- Answer: hiking

8. "My grandma is ___ up and down right now!"
- "is" and "right now" indicate present continuous
- Need "-ing" form
- Walking fits perfectly
- Answer: walking

9. "It has been two weeks since I ___ in the attic."
- "has been" with "since" indicates past action
- Need "-ed" form
- Looking would be looked
- Answer: looked

10. "Tom is ___ me where to put my books."
- "is" indicates present continuous
- Need "-ing" form
- Showing fits here
- Answer: showing

Wait, let me reconsider #7. "Megan is ___ all over the world and shopping."
Looking at the remaining words after my other answers:
- Used so far: talking, jumped, walked, looking, called, showed, walking, looked, showing
- Remaining from word bank: riding, hiking, eating, taking

For #7, "hiking" makes sense - hiking all over the world.

But wait, I used "showing" twice (#6 and #10). Let me reconsider.

Actually, looking more carefully at the word bank and sentences:

Let me redo this more carefully:

1. talking (am ___ = present continuous)
2. jumped (yesterday = past)
3. walked (last week = past)
4. looking (is ___ = present continuous)
5. called (last night = past)
6. showed (last week = past)
7. traveling? Not in bank. Maybe "hiking"?
8. walking (is ___ right now = present continuous)
9. looked (since I ___ = past)
10. showing (is ___ = present continuous)

Hmm, I'm using some words twice. Let me check if each word should only be used once or if they can be reused. The directions don't specify, so words might be reusable.

Let me verify each answer makes sense contextually:

1. ✓ talking on the phone
2. ✓ jumped on the trampoline
3. ✓ walked to school
4. ✓ looking around the house
5. ✓ called on the phone
6. ✓ showed my dad
7. ? hiking all over the world - this works
8. ✓ walking up and down
9. ✓ looked in the attic
10. ✓ showing me where

Actually, I think #7 might be better as "traveling" but that's not in the word bank. Among the options, "hiking" works best.

Final Answer:
1. talking
2. jumped
3. walked
4. looking
5. called
6. showed
7. hiking
8. walking
9. looked
10. showing
