Grade 3 Progressive Verb Tenses Worksheet from K5 Learning

To complete this worksheet, we need to change each verb into three different tenses: past progressive, present progressive, and future progressive.

Here is the pattern based on the example "walk":
- Past progressive: Use "was" + verb ending in "-ing" (e.g., was walking)
- Present progressive: Use "is" + verb ending in "-ing" (e.g., is walking)
- Future progressive: Use "will be" + verb ending in "-ing" (e.g., will be walking)

Now let’s apply this to each verb:

1. talk → was talking / is talking / will be talking
2. finish → was finishing / is finishing / will be finishing
3. think → was thinking / is thinking / will be thinking
4. circle → was circling / is circling / will be circling
5. eat → was eating / is eating / will be eating
6. hunt → was hunting / is hunting / will be hunting
7. run → was running / is running / will be running
8. play → was playing / is playing / will be playing
9. speak → was speaking / is speaking / will be speaking
10. answer → was answering / is answering / will be answering
11. read → was reading / is reading / will be reading

All verbs follow the same rule — just add “-ing” and pair with the correct helping verb for each tense.

Final Answer:
talk: was talking, is talking, will be talking
finish: was finishing, is finishing, will be finishing
think: was thinking, is thinking, will be thinking

eat: was eating, is eating, will be eating
