GrammarWiz Simple Present Tense Worksheet featuring 15 sentences with blanks to fill in the correct verb form.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to use the simple present tense of the verb given in parentheses. Remember:

- For I, you, we, they → use the base form of the verb (e.g., go, try, play).
- For he, she, it → add -s or -es to the verb (e.g., goes, tries, plays).
- Some verbs are irregular — like “be” → am/is/are; “have” → has for he/she/it.
- If there’s a negative (“don’t”, “doesn’t”), use the base form after it.
