Explanation:
Let’s go step by step.
First, remember the rules from the top box:
- Use
see for present tense with I, you, we, they.
Example: *I see*, *You see*, *We see*, *They see*
- Use
sees for present tense with he, she, or a singular name (like Joe, Blake, Matt).
Example: *She sees*, *Joe sees*, *Blake sees*
- Use
saw for past tense — when the sentence says something like *last week*, *yesterday*, etc.
Example: *Last week we saw…*
Now look at Part A: “Circle the verb that tells about the present.”
So we need to pick the correct present-tense verb for each sentence.
1.
Blake (see, sees, saw) a small ant.
Blake is one person (like *he*), so use
sees.
✔
2.
I (see, sees, saw) a bug on a leaf.
Subject is *I*, so use
see.
✔
3.
Joe and Tate (see, sees, saw) some bees.
*Joe and Tate* = two people → like *they*, so use
see.
✔
Now Part B: “Circle the verb that tells about the past.”
So we need the past-tense verb (
saw) in each sentence.
4.
Last week we (see, sees, saw) a flea.
“Last week” = past → use
saw.
✔
5.
Matt (see, sees, saw) a white moth.
Wait — this sentence has no time word! But the instruction says “Circle the verb that tells about the past.” So even though there’s no time clue, since it’s in Part B, we must choose the past-tense form:
saw.
(Note: In real usage, we’d need a time word, but for this worksheet, Part B means “pick the past tense verb” regardless.)
6.
Jess and Nan (see, sees, saw) a tan snail.
Again, Part B → past tense →
saw.
So final choices:
1. sees
2. see
3. see
4. saw
5. saw
6. saw
Final Answer:
1. sees
2. see
3. see
4. saw
5. saw
6. saw
