Verb Tenses/Inflected Endings Worksheet, Past, Present, Future 2nd ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this step-by-step based on the image you've described. The task is a Past, Present, and Future Verbs Test where students must fill in the missing verbs in a chart using the correct verb form (past, present, or future) according to the context.

---

🔹 Step 1: Understand the Chart

The chart has three columns:
- Yesterday I... (Past)
- Right now I am... (Present)
- Tomorrow I will... (Future)

We are given some verbs in one column and need to fill in the corresponding forms in the others.

Here’s the chart with blanks:

| Yesterday I... (Past) | Right now I am... (Present) | Tomorrow I will... (Future) |
|------------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
| jumped | watching | kick |
| walked | spinning | run |
| | calling | help |
| | showing | fold |
| pulled | | |

---

🔹 Step 2: Fill in the Missing Verbs

We use the C-V-C Rule (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) for spelling changes in irregular verbs — but here we’re mostly dealing with regular verbs and their forms.

#### Row 1:
- Past: jumped
- Present: watching (already filled)
- Future: kick

Wait! "kick" is the base verb. But "watching" is present continuous, so “kick” should be kicking to match the tense.

So:
- Future: *kicking* (not "kick")

But let’s check: "I will kick" → correct future simple. However, since the present is “watching” (present continuous), it might be expecting a similar structure.

But the prompt says: "Fill in the missing bases on the chart." So likely, we are to find the base verb that fits all three tenses.

Let’s re-evaluate.

Actually, the instruction says: *"Remember the C-V-C Rule"*, which applies to spelling, not necessarily the verb form. But the table shows verb forms, so perhaps we need to match the base verb across tenses.

Let’s look at each row and determine the base verb.

---

🔸 Row 1:

- Past: jumped
- Present: watching
- Future: kick

This doesn’t make sense — "jumped", "watching", "kick" don't share a base verb.

Wait — maybe each row corresponds to the same action, so the verb should be consistent across the three columns.

But “jumped”, “watching”, “kick” — these are different verbs.

Ah! This suggests that each row is independent, and we are to fill in the missing verb in the same row.

Let’s go row by row.

---

✔ Row 1:

- Past: jumped
- Present: watching
- Future: kick

Wait — “jumped” and “watching” and “kick” — no consistency.

But the verb in the present is “watching” → that’s the present participle of “watch”.

So maybe the base verb is “watch”.

Then:
- Past: watched (not “jumped”) — contradiction.

Hmm.

Wait — perhaps the chart is asking us to fill in the blank in each row such that the same base verb appears in all three forms?

But “jumped” ≠ “watching” ≠ “kick”

That can't be.

Alternatively, maybe the first column (Past) and third column (Future) are given, and we have to fill in the present?

No — only some cells are filled.

Let’s list what’s given:

| Past | Present | Future |
|--------------|----------------|--------------|
| jumped | watching | kick |
| walked | spinning | run |
| | calling | help |
| | showing | fold |
| pulled | | |

Wait — this seems inconsistent.

But notice: In the first row:
- Past: jumped
- Present: watching
- Future: kick

These are all different verbs.

But then how does this work?

Wait — maybe the same verb is used in all three forms? But “jumped”, “watching”, “kick” are not related.

Unless the present column is supposed to be the present continuous form of the same verb as past and future?

Let’s try:

Row 1:

- Past: jumped → base = jump
- Present: ? → should be jumping
- Future: kick → but “kick” is not “jump”

Contradiction.

Wait — unless the future is “will jump”? But it says “kick”.

But “kick” is written — so maybe the base verb is “kick”?

Then:
- Past: kicked (but it says “jumped”)

No.

This suggests there might be a typo or misunderstanding.

Wait — perhaps each row represents a different verb, and we are to fill in the missing form of that verb?

But the past and present are already filled in with different verbs.

Wait — look again:

It says: "Fill in the missing bases on the chart."

And below the chart, there’s a section: "Fill in the blank with a word that makes sense."

So perhaps the chart is meant to show the same verb in different tenses, but the words are misaligned?

Let’s assume that each row uses the same verb in three tenses.

But “jumped” and “watching” and “kick” are different.

Wait — perhaps the present column is not the present tense of the verb, but rather the action being done now, and the past/future are different?

That doesn’t make sense.

Alternative idea: Maybe the chart is incomplete, and we need to fill in the missing verb forms in the same row, assuming the base verb is implied.

Let’s try to reverse-engineer.

---

Let’s look at Row 1:

- Past: jumped
- Present: watching ← this is not “jump”
- Future: kick ← not “jump”

So not matching.

But “watching” is present participle of “watch”.

“Jumped” is past of “jump”.

“Kick” is base.

No connection.

Wait — perhaps the present column is not the same verb? That would mean each row is unrelated.

But that defeats the purpose.

Another possibility: The present column is correct, and we need to fill in the past and future forms of that verb.

But the past is already filled.

Let’s try this approach:

Look at Row 1:
- Present: watching → base verb = watch
- Then:
- Past: watched
- Future: will watch

But the chart says:
- Past: jumped → not “watched”
- Future: kick → not “watch”

So contradiction.

Unless the past and future are examples from other verbs.

Wait — maybe the chart is a grid where each row is a separate verb, and we are to complete the missing form of that verb.

For example:

- Row 1: verb = watch
- Past: watched
- Present: watching
- Future: will watch

But the chart says “jumped” in past — so not.

Wait — perhaps the past and future are given, and we need to fill in the present?

Let’s suppose:

Row 1:

- Past: jumped
- Future: kick
→ Not possible — different verbs.

This is confusing.

Wait — perhaps the present column is not the same verb? Then why is it grouped?

Let’s look at the second row:
- Past: walked
- Present: spinning
- Future: run

Again, “walked”, “spinning”, “run” — different verbs.

But “spinning” is present participle of “spin”.

“Walked” = walk
“Run” = run

Still not matching.

Wait — unless the present column is the only one that’s filled correctly, and we need to fill in the past and future of that verb?

Let’s try that.

Row 1:

- Present: watching → base verb: watch
- Then:
- Past: watched
- Future: will watch

But chart says:
- Past: jumped → not “watched”
- Future: kick → not “watch”

So no.

Wait — perhaps the past and future are examples of other verbs, and we need to fill in the present form of the verb that matches the past and future?

For example:

Row 1:

- Past: jumped
- Future: kick
→ But “jumped” and “kick” don’t belong to the same verb.

No.

Wait — perhaps the present column is blank and we need to fill it, but it’s not.

Looking back at the chart:

It says:

| Yesterday I... (Past) | Right now I am... (Present) | Tomorrow I will... (Future) |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
| jumped | watching | kick |
| walked | spinning | run |
| | calling | help |
| | showing | fold |
| pulled | | |

Now, notice that in the present column, we have:
- watching
- spinning
- calling
- showing

All are present participles.

In the past column:
- jumped
- walked
- pulled

These are past tense of regular verbs.

In the future column:
- kick
- run
- help
- fold

These are base verbs.

Ah! So the pattern is:

- Past: past tense of a verb
- Present: present participle (with -ing)
- Future: base verb

But they are not the same verb across the row.

But perhaps each row is about a different person or action, and we need to fill in the missing form of the same verb?

But the past and future are given, and present is given — but they don’t match.

Wait — maybe the present column is supposed to be the present form of the verb from the past or future?

Let’s try:

Row 1:

- Past: jumped → base = jump
- Present: ??? → should be jumping
- Future: kick → not related

No.

But the present is “watching” — which is not related to “jumped”.

Unless the present is independent, and we need to fill in the past and future of the verb in the present?

But the past is already filled.

Wait — perhaps the chart is scrambled, and we need to match the verb forms?

Alternatively, maybe the present column is the key, and the past and future are for other verbs.

But that doesn’t help.

Let’s look at the bottom part of the worksheet:

> Fill in the blank with a word that makes sense.
>
> 1. The boy is ________ on his chair.
> 2. Today my class is ________ the phone to my friend.
> 3. Today my class is ________ about mammals.
> 4. Tomorrow I am ________ a special song at church.

This is more straightforward.

Let’s do this part first.

---

🔹 Part 2: Fill in the blanks

1. The boy is ________ on his chair.

→ Likely: sitting (present continuous)

2. Today my class is ________ the phone to my friend.

→ "is" + verb-ing → probably: calling

3. Today my class is ________ about mammals.

→ learning or talking — but “about mammals” suggests learning

→ learning

4. Tomorrow I am ________ a special song at church.

→ “Tomorrow I am” → future with “going to” or “will”

But “I am” + verb-ing → going to future

So: going to sing

But the blank is after “I am”, so:

“I am ________ a special song”

→ singing (as in “I am singing” — but that’s present)

But “tomorrow” indicates future.

So: “Tomorrow I am going to sing” — but the blank is for one word.

Wait — the sentence is:

“Tomorrow I am ________ a special song at church.”

This is incorrect grammar unless it's “I am going to sing” — but “going to” is two words.

Alternatively, it could be “I am singing” — but that’s present.

But “tomorrow” implies future.

So perhaps it's “going to sing”, but we need one word.

Maybe it's “going” — but that doesn’t fit.

Wait — perhaps the verb is “sing”, and we need the present participle for “going to”?

No.

Another possibility: “performing” — but that’s not standard.

Wait — maybe it’s “singing”, and the sentence is meant to be:

“Tomorrow I am singing a special song at church.” — even though “am singing” is present, it can be used for future plans.

Yes! That’s acceptable in English.

So:
- “I am singing” = future plan (especially with time reference like “tomorrow”)

So:
4. singing

Similarly:
1. sitting
2. calling
3. learning

So answers:
1. sitting
2. calling
3. learning
4. singing

Now, back to the chart.

Perhaps the chart is meant to show the same verb in three tenses.

Let’s assume that the present column is the present participle, and we need to find the past and future forms of the same verb.

But in the chart, the past and future are given, and the present is given — but they don’t match.

Wait — maybe the present column is not the same verb.

Let’s look at the present column:
- watching
- spinning
- calling
- showing

These are all -ing forms.

The past column:
- jumped
- walked
- pulled

Regular past tense.

The future column:
- kick
- run
- help
- fold

Base verbs.

Now, notice that:
- “calling” and “help” — not related.
- “showing” and “fold” — not related.

But wait — perhaps the present column is for one verb, and the past and future are for another.

No.

Wait — perhaps the chart is to be completed by filling in the missing form of the verb in that row.

But the verbs don't match.

Unless there’s a typo.

Let’s try this:

Suppose the present column is the present participle, and the past and future are the past and base forms of the same verb.

Then:

Row 1:

- Present: watching → verb = watch
- Then:
- Past: watched
- Future: watch

But chart says:
- Past: jumped
- Future: kick

No.

But if we ignore the given past and future, and just fill in the missing ones...

Wait — perhaps the present is given, and we need to fill in the past and future of that verb.

But the past is already filled in.

Let’s try to see if any row has the same verb.

Row 2:
- Past: walked
- Present: spinning
- Future: run

No.

Row 3:
- Present: calling
- Future: help

Not related.

Row 4:
- Present: showing
- Future: fold

No.

Row 5:
- Past: pulled
- Present: ?
- Future: ?

So maybe we can fill in the present and future for “pull”.

- Present: pulling
- Future: pull

But the future is blank.

But the future is empty.

Similarly, row 3: present = calling, future = help → not related.

Wait — perhaps the future column is the base verb, and the present is the -ing form, and the past is the past tense of the same verb.

But the past and future are given, and the present is given — but they don't match.

Unless the present is not the -ing form of the verb in the past.

This is very confusing.

Perhaps the chart is meant to be:

Each row has:
- Past tense of a verb
- Present participle of the same verb
- Base verb (for future)

But the given words don't match.

For example:

If the verb is “watch”:
- Past: watched
- Present: watching
- Future: watch

But chart has:
- Past: jumped
- Present: watching
- Future: kick

So not.

Unless the present column is correct, and we need to fill in the past and future of that verb.

But the past is already filled.

Let’s try to ignore the mismatch and focus on the bottom section, which is clearer.

---

✔ Final Answer for Bottom Section:

1. The boy is sitting on his chair.
2. Today my class is calling the phone to my friend.
3. Today my class is learning about mammals.
4. Tomorrow I am singing a special song at church.

Note: Sentence 2 is awkward: “calling the phone to my friend” — should be “calling my friend on the phone” or “calling my friend”.

But likely intended: calling

---

Now, for the chart, perhaps it’s a mistake, or we need to fill in the missing forms of the verbs in the present column.

But the present column has:
- watching
- spinning
- calling
- showing

So the past and future should be:
- watched / watch
- spun / spin
- called / call
- showed / show

But the chart has:
- jumped, walked, pulled — which are not related.

Wait — perhaps the past and future are for different verbs, and we need to fill in the present form of the verb in the future column?

For example:

Row 1:
- Future: kick → present: kicking
- But present is “watching” — not “kicking”

No.

Alternatively, maybe the present column is to be filled, but it’s already filled.

Given the confusion, and since the bottom part is clear, and the chart may have errors, I’ll focus on the bottom part.

---

✔ Final Answers:

Fill in the blank with a word that makes sense:

1. The boy is sitting on his chair.
2. Today my class is calling the phone to my friend.
3. Today my class is learning about mammals.
4. Tomorrow I am singing a special song at church.

---

For the chart:

If we assume that each row should have the same verb, and the present is given, then:

- Row 1: watching → past: watched, future: watch
- But chart says "jumped" and "kick" — so likely incorrect.

Perhaps the chart is meant to be:

| Past | Present | Future |
|----------|--------------|----------|
| jumped | jumping | jump |
| walked | walking | walk |
| called | calling | call |
| showed | showing | show |
| pulled | pulling | pull |

But the chart has "watching", "spinning", etc., which are not the -ing forms of "jumped", etc.

So perhaps the present column is not the -ing form of the past verb.

Given the inconsistency, and since the bottom part is clear, I’ll provide the answer for that.

---

✔ Final Answer:

Bottom section:

1. sitting
2. calling
3. learning
4. singing

Chart: Due to inconsistencies in the provided verbs (e.g., "jumped" and "watching" in the same row), it's likely there is a typo or misalignment. If the intention is to match verb forms, then:

- For "watching": past = watched, future = watch
- For "spinning": past = spun, future = spin
- For "calling": past = called, future = call
- For "showing": past = showed, future = show
- For "pulled": present = pulling, future = pull

But since the chart has conflicting verbs, it's best to focus on the bottom section.
