ENGLISH WORKSHEET - 1C Date: Affirmative and Negative Sentences ... - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to practice the Simple Present Tense — both affirmative and negative forms — using context from the pictures.

We need to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb in parentheses, based on what the picture shows (what the person/people are doing or not doing).

Let’s go row by row:

---

1. First row:
> He ________ (send) a letter.
> He ________ (not send) an e-mail.

- Picture shows a man holding a physical letter and stacks of mail → he sends a letter.
- He is NOT holding a computer or typing → he does not send an e-mail.

✔ Answers:
- sends
- does not send

---

2. Second row:
> Laura ________ (write) a test.
> She ________ (not write) a letter.

- Picture shows Laura writing at a desk with a test paper → she writes a test.
- She is not writing a letter → she does not write a letter.

✔ Answers:
- writes
- does not write

---

3. Third row:
> They ________ (work) on the farm.
> They ________ (not work) in an office.

- Picture shows two people with farming tools and animals → they work on the farm.
- They are clearly not in an office → they do not work in an office.

✔ Answers:
- work
- do not work

*(Note: “They” is plural, so we use base form “work”, not “works”)*

---

4. Fourth row:
> Thomas ________ (drive) a tractor.
> He ________ (not drive) a truck.

- Picture shows Thomas driving a green tractor → he drives a tractor.
- He is not driving a truck → he does not drive a truck.

✔ Answers:
- drives
- does not drive

---

5. Fifth row:
> He ________ (wake up) early.
> He ________ (not wake up) late.

- Picture shows him waking up in bed, looking tired but awake → implies he wakes up early.
- He does NOT wake up late → he does not wake up late.

✔ Answers:
- wakes up
- does not wake up

*(“Wake up” is a phrasal verb — same rule applies: add -s for third person singular)*

---

6. Sixth row:
> I always ________ (put) a plate on the table.
> I ________ (not put) it on the chair.

- Picture shows someone putting plates on the table → “I always put...”
- The chair is empty → “I do not put it on the chair.”

✔ Answers:
- put
- do not put

*(“I” is first person → use base form “put”)*

---

7. Seventh row:
> They ________ (go) for a walk.
> They ________ (not go) home.

- Picture shows two people walking outside → they go for a walk.
- They are not heading home → they do not go home.

💡 Grammar Tip:

- For he/she/it (third person singular), add -s or -es to the verb in affirmative sentences.
- For negative sentences, use does not (for he/she/it) or do not (for I/you/we/they) + base verb (no -s).
- “I” and “they” use the base form of the verb.

This exercise helps reinforce subject-verb agreement in the simple present tense through visual context. Great job! 🎯
