Verb Worksheets For Grade 3 - Free Printable

Explanation:
We are given a list of verbs:
sleep, cook, reads, play, shines, sing, ride, program, bloom, fetches, jump, relax, bake, write

Note: Some of these are already in third-person singular form (e.g., *reads*, *shines*, *fetches*), but we need to choose the correct verb form that fits each sentence grammatically — matching subject and tense.

Let’s go sentence by sentence:

1. The cat likes to ________ with a ball of yarn.
- “Likes to ___” → after *to*, we use base form (infinitive without *to*).
- Cat plays with yarn → play
✔ *play*

2. We will ________ cookies for the school party.
- “Will ___” → future tense → base verb.
- We bake cookies → bake
✔ *bake*

3. The sun ________ brightly in the sky.
- Subject = *the sun* (singular, third person), present tense.
- Sun shines → shines (already in list)
✔ *shines*

4. The birds ________ sweetly in the morning.
- Subject = *birds* (plural), present tense.
- Birds sing → sing (base form for plural subjects)
✔ *sing*

5. I ________ my bike to school every day.
- Subject = *I*, present tense.
- I ride my bike → ride
✔ *ride*

6. Mom and Dad ________ a delicious dinner together.
- Subject = *Mom and Dad* (two people → plural), present tense.
- They cook or bake? Both possible, but “cook dinner” is more common than “bake dinner” (bake is for oven items like cakes, bread). So cook
✔ *cook*

7. The teacher ________ a story to the class.
- Subject = *teacher* (singular), present tense.
- Teacher reads a story → reads (in list)
✔ *reads*

8. The dog ________ the stick in the backyard.
- Subject = *dog* (singular), present tense.
- Dog fetches stick (common phrase: *fetch the stick*) → fetches (in list)
✔ *fetches*

9. My friends and I ________ with joy when we play games.
- Subject = *My friends and I* → plural.
- We jump with joy (or relax? but “jump with joy” is a common idiom)
✔ *jump*

10. The flowers ________ beautifully in the garden.
- Subject = *flowers* (plural), present tense.
- Flowers bloom → bloom
✔ *bloom*

Now double-check all verbs used are from the list:
- play ✔
- bake ✔
- shines ✔
- sing ✔
- ride ✔
- cook ✔
- reads ✔
- fetches ✔
- jump ✔
- bloom ✔

All match and are used exactly once (list has 14 verbs, but only 10 blanks — that’s okay; not all verbs must be used).

Final Answer:
1. play
2. bake
3. shines
4. sing
5. ride
6. cook
7. reads
8. fetches
9. jump
10. bloom
