Verb Tense Worksheet Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.

We are told to:
1. Underline the verb in each sentence.
2. Write whether it is past, present, or future tense.
3. Then fill in a table with the verbs from the sentences — putting each verb in its correct tense column (past, present, future), and then writing the other two forms for that same verb.

---

Sentence 1: “My mother poured some juice.”

- Verb: poured
- Tense: This happened already → past
- Base form (present): pour
- Future: will pour

→ So we’ll put “poured” under PAST, “pour” under PRESENT, “will pour” under FUTURE.

---

Sentence 2: “Uncle Dennis snoozed on the sofa.”

- Verb: snoozed
- Tense: Already happened → past
- Base form: snooze
- Future: will snooze

→ Put “snoozed” under PAST, “snooze” under PRESENT, “will snooze” under FUTURE.

---

Sentence 3: “There are eleven girls in the classroom.”

- Verb: are
- Tense: Happening now → present
- Past form: were
- Future: will be

→ Put “are” under PRESENT, “were” under PAST, “will be” under FUTURE.

*(Note: “are” is a form of “be”, so we use “be” as the base verb.)*

---

Sentence 4: “We will show around eight.”

- Verb phrase: will show
- The main verb here is “show”, and “will” makes it future.
- So verb = show, tense = future
- Present: show
- Past: showed

→ Put “showed” under PAST, “show” under PRESENT, “will show” under FUTURE.

*(Wait — actually, since the sentence uses “will show”, we should list “will show” as the future form. But in the table, we’re listing the verb forms — so for the row corresponding to this sentence, we put “showed” in past, “show” in present, “will show” in future.)*

But note: the instruction says “Write each of the verbs from the sentences above in the correct column.” So for sentence 4, the verb used is “will show” — which is future. So we place “will show” under FUTURE column for that row? Actually, no — let’s read carefully:

> “Write each of the verbs from the sentences above in the correct column. Then fill in the other columns for each verb.”

So for each sentence, take the verb *as it appears* and put it in the correct tense column. Then for that same verb (base form), write what it would look like in the other tenses.

Example: For sentence 1, verb = “poured” → goes in PAST column. Then in the same row, you write “pour” in PRESENT and “will pour” in FUTURE.

Same logic applies to all.

So for sentence 4: verb = “will show” → but wait, “will show” is not a single word — it’s an auxiliary + main verb. In grammar worksheets like this, they usually consider the main verb (“show”) and note the tense via the helping verb.

Actually, looking at standard practice: when they say “underline the verb”, for “will show”, you underline both words? Or just “show”? Let’s check common usage.

In elementary grammar, for “will show”, the verb phrase is “will show”, and the tense is future. But when filling the table, they want the base verb and its forms.

Looking at sentence 5: “Tim shaved his beard off.” → verb = “shaved” → past → base = shave → future = will shave.

Similarly, for sentence 4: “We will show...” → the action is “show”, and “will” indicates future. So the verb is “show”, and it’s being used in future tense.

But the instruction says: “Underline the verb in each sentence.” In “will show”, technically the full verb phrase is “will show”, but often in such worksheets, they expect you to identify the main verb and its tense based on helpers.

To avoid confusion, let’s follow this rule:

- If there’s a helping verb (like “will”), the main verb is still the key one, and the tense is determined by the helper.
- When filling the table, for the row corresponding to that sentence, put the form that matches the sentence’s tense in that column, and then write the other forms.

But the table has three columns: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE — and we’re to put the verb from the sentence in the correct column, then fill the others.

So for sentence 4: the verb as used is “will show” — which is future. So we put “will show” in the FUTURE column? But that might not fit because “will show” is two words, and the other entries are single words.

Alternatively, perhaps they mean: identify the main verb, determine its tense in the sentence, then write that form in the correct column, and then write the other forms.

I think the intended approach is:

For each sentence:
- Identify the main verb (ignoring auxiliaries for the purpose of listing forms, but using them to determine tense).
- Write the form that appears in the sentence in the correct tense column.
- Then write the other two forms for that verb.

But for consistency, let’s look at sentence 3: “There are...” → verb = “are” → present → so we put “are” in PRESENT column, then “were” in PAST, “will be” in FUTURE.

Similarly, sentence 4: “We will show...” → the main verb is “show”, and it’s in future tense due to “will”. So we should put “show” in the FUTURE column? No — that doesn’t make sense because “show” alone is present.

Ah, here’s the key: in the table, for each row, we are listing the three forms of the same verb. The verb from the sentence tells us which form to start with.

Standard way these worksheets work:

- For sentence 1: verb = “poured” → past tense → so in the first row, under PAST: poured; under PRESENT: pour; under FUTURE: will pour.

- For sentence 4: verb = “will show” → but “will show” is the future form. However, “will show” isn't a single lexical item. Typically, they’d expect you to recognize that “show” is the verb, and “will” makes it future. So for the table, you’d put “showed” in past, “show” in present, “will show” in future — but that’s for the verb “show”.

But the instruction says: “Write each of the verbs from the sentences above in the correct column.” So for sentence 4, the verb as written is “will show” — which is future. So perhaps we put “will show” in the FUTURE column for that row.

However, looking at the table structure, it has single-word entries expected, probably. Also, in sentence 3, “are” is used, which is fine.

Another approach: perhaps for compound verbs like “will show”, we consider “show” as the verb, and note that in the sentence it's in future tense, so we put “show” in the FUTURE column? But that’s incorrect because “show” alone is present.

I recall that in many such worksheets, for future tense with "will", they have you write "will [verb]" in the future column.

Let me check online examples mentally — yes, typically for "will go", they put "went" in past, "go" in present, "will go" in future.

So for sentence 4: the verb is "show", and in the sentence it's used as "will show", so for the table row corresponding to this sentence, we put:

PAST: showed
PRESENT: show
FUTURE: will show

And similarly for others.

But the instruction says: "Write each of the verbs from the sentences above in the correct column." So for sentence 4, the verb from the sentence is "will show", which belongs in the FUTURE column. Then for the same row, we fill in the past and present forms.

Yes, that makes sense.

So let's do it that way.

Define for each sentence:

1. Sentence: "My mother poured some juice." → verb: "poured" → tense: past → so in table row 1: PAST: poured, PRESENT: pour, FUTURE: will pour

2. Sentence: "Uncle Dennis snoozed on the sofa." → verb: "snoozed" → past → row 2: PAST: snoozed, PRESENT: snooze, FUTURE: will snooze

3. Sentence: "There are eleven girls..." → verb: "are" → present → row 3: PAST: were, PRESENT: are, FUTURE: will be

4. Sentence: "We will show around eight." → verb: "will show" → future → row 4: PAST: showed, PRESENT: show, FUTURE: will show

5. Sentence: "Tim shaved his beard off." → verb: "shaved" → past → row 5: PAST: shaved, PRESENT: shave, FUTURE: will shave

Now, for the first part, underlining the verb and writing the tense:

1. My mother poured some juice. → past
2. Uncle Dennis snoozed on the sofa. → past
3. There are eleven girls in the classroom. → present
4. We will show around eight. → future
5. Tim shaved his beard off. → past

Note: For #4, some might argue to underline only "show", but since "will" is part of the verb phrase indicating future, it's better to underline "will show" together. In many curricula, they teach that "will + verb" is the future tense verb phrase.

Now for the table:

We have 5 rows, one for each sentence.

Row 1 (from sentence 1):
PAST: poured
PRESENT: pour
FUTURE: will pour

Row 2 (sentence 2):
PAST: snoozed
PRESENT: snooze
FUTURE: will snooze

Row 3 (sentence 3):
PAST: were
PRESENT: are
FUTURE: will be

Row 4 (sentence 4):
PAST: showed
PRESENT: show
FUTURE: will show

Row 5 (sentence 5):
PAST: shaved
PRESENT: shave
FUTURE: will shave

This seems consistent.

Now, to confirm:

- All verbs are correctly identified.
- Tenses match.
- Other forms are correctly derived.

One thing: for "are", the base verb is "be", so past is "were", future is "will be" — correct.

For "show", past is "showed", not "shown" — because "shown" is past participle, used with have/has/had. Simple past is "showed". Yes.

Similarly, "shave" -> "shaved" for past.

"Snooze" -> "snoozed" — regular verb.

"Pour" -> "poured" — regular.

All good.

Final Answer:

First part (for each sentence, verb and tense):

1. poured — past
2. snoozed — past
3. are — present
4. will show — future
5. shaved — past

Table:

| PAST | PRESENT | FUTURE |
|----------|-----------|-------------|
| poured | pour | will pour |
| snoozed | snooze | will snooze |
| were | are | will be |
| showed | show | will show |
| shaved | shave | will shave |

Since the user didn't specify to output the table in a particular format, but the worksheet has a table, I'll present it clearly.

Also, note that in the table, the order of rows corresponds to the sentences 1 to 5.

Now, for the final answer section, since the task is to solve the problem, I need to provide the completed answers.

The user said: "Solve the problem accurately." and "Provide only the final correct answer — this should come AFTER all explanations and reasoning."

But in this case, the answer includes multiple parts: the underlined verbs with tenses, and the filled table.

Since ExplainAnswer is false, I shouldn't explain, but I did reason above. Now for Final Answer, I should give the complete solution.

Perhaps list the answers for the first part and then the table.

Given the constraints, I'll write:

Final Answer:

1. poured - past
2. snoozed - past
3. are - present
4. will show - future
5. shaved - past

Table:

PAST PRESENT FUTURE
poured pour will pour
snoozed snooze will snooze
were are will be
showed show will show
shaved shave will shave

To make it neat.

Since the worksheet has blanks for the tense next to each sentence, and then the table, I'll present accordingly.

I think this is accurate.
