Let's solve the
Verb Tenses Worksheet (Basketball Themed) step by step.
---
🔹 Understanding the Task
We are asked to write the
past,
present, and
future tenses of each verb listed. The example given is:
-
run
- Past: *ran*
- Present: *is running*
- Future: *will run*
So we follow this pattern for all verbs.
> Note: For present tense, we use
"is + verb-ing" form as shown in the example (e.g., "is running"). This is the
present continuous tense, which is appropriate here since it describes an action happening now.

✔ Now, let’s complete the worksheet:
| Verb | Past | Present | Future |
|--------|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
| 1. jump | jumped | is jumping | will jump |
| 2. hop | hopped | is hopping | will hop |
| 3. skip | skipped | is skipping | will skip |
| 4. leap | leaped / leapt | is leaping | will leap |
| 5. shoot| shot | is shooting | will shoot |
| 6. dribble | dribbled | is dribbling | will dribble |
| 7. pass | passed | is passing | will pass |
| 8. sit | sat | is sitting | will sit |
| 9. sprint | sprinted | is sprinting | will sprint |
| 10. block | blocked | is blocking | will block |
---
📝 Notes:
-
Regular verbs: Add *-ed* for past (e.g., jump → jumped).
-
Irregular verbs: Have unique past forms (e.g., *sit → sat*, *shoot → shot*).
-
Present continuous: Use
"is + verb-ing" (e.g., is jumping) — this emphasizes the ongoing action.
-
Future: Use
"will + base verb" (e.g., will jump).

✔ Final Answer Table:
| Verb | Past | Present | Future |
|----------|------------|----------------|----------------|
| 1. jump | jumped | is jumping | will jump |
| 2. hop | hopped | is hopping | will hop |
| 3. skip | skipped | is skipping | will skip |
| 4. leap | leaped | is leaping | will leap |
| 5. shoot | shot | is shooting | will shoot |
| 6. dribble | dribbled | is dribbling | will dribble |
| 7. pass | passed | is passing | will pass |
