Verb to be worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s work through this step by step.

This worksheet is about contractions — short ways of writing two words together. For example, “I am” becomes “I’m”.

Part 1: Read and match

We need to match the contractions in the flower shapes (’m, ’re, ’s) with the correct pronouns above them.

Look at the top row:

- “it” → matches with “’s” → “it’s”
- “we” → matches with “’re” → “we’re”
- “you” → matches with “’re” → “you’re”
- “they” → matches with “’re” → “they’re”

Bottom row:

- “he” → matches with “’s” → “he’s”
- “you” → matches with “’re” → “you’re”
- “she” → matches with “’s” → “she’s”
- “I” → matches with “’m” → “I’m”

So the matches are:

- it → ’s
- we → ’re
- you → ’re
- they → ’re
- he → ’s
- you → ’re
- she → ’s
- I → ’m

(Note: The image already shows some lines drawn — for example, “they” is connected to “’s”, which is wrong. We’re solving it correctly.)

Part 2: Write the contractions

Now we fill in the blanks:

1. I + am = I’m
2. we + are = we’re
3. you + are = you’re
4. he + is = he’s
5. she + is = she’s
6. it + is = it’s
7. we + are = we’re (again)
8. you + are = you’re (again)
9. they + are = they’re

All of these follow the same pattern:
- “am” → ’m (only with “I”)
- “is” → ’s (with he, she, it)
- “are” → ’re (with we, you, they)

Final Answer:
I’m, we’re, you’re, he’s, she’s, it’s, we’re, you’re, they’re
