Present Tense Past Tense Verbs Worksheets Grades 1-2 Great ... - Free Printable

Sure! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step.

This worksheet is about converting verbs into the simple present tense. The simple present tense is used for:
- Habits or routines (e.g., “I brush my teeth every morning”)
- General truths (e.g., “The sun rises in the east”)
- Regular actions

Rules to remember:

- For I, you, we, they → use the base form of the verb.
- Example: I cook, you live, we play, they read
- For he, she, it (third person singular) → add -s or -es to the base verb.
- Example: She cooks, he lives, it plays

Let’s complete each sentence:

1. Sarah (cook) → Sarah is she → add -s → cooks
✔ *Sarah cooks breakfast every morning.*

2. Laura (live) → Laura is she → lives
✔ *Laura lives in Florida.*

3. Paul (play) → Paul is he → plays
✔ *Paul plays the piano at the concert.*

4. Every night I (read) → I → base form → read
✔ *Every night I read my book.*

5. I always (ask) → I → base form → ask
✔ *I always ask a lot of questions.*

6. She (drive) → She → drives
✔ *She drives too fast!*

7. Kara (turn) → Kara is she → turns
✔ *Kara turns on the light.*

8. I (wave) → I → base form → wave
✔ *I wave to my sister.*

9. My mom (bake) → Mom = she → bakes
✔ *My mom bakes the best brownies.*

10. She always (walk) → She → walks
✔ *She always walks the dog.*

11. Zack (throw) → Zack = he → throws
✔ *Zack throws the frisbee onto the roof.*

12. The dog (bark) → Dog = it → barks
✔ *The dog barks at the mailman.*

13. The band (play) → Band = they (group acting as plural) → play
✔ *The band play salsa music.*
> Note: In American English, collective nouns like “band” are often treated as singular → “plays”. But since the worksheet seems to treat “band” as plural (common in ESL contexts), we’ll go with play. If your teacher prefers singular, it could be “plays”, but based on pattern here, play fits.

14. I (drink) → I → drink
✔ *I drink lemonade on the porch.*

15. My dad (build) → Dad = he → builds
✔ *My dad builds boats.*
