About this worksheet
Ten sentences that each need an irregular past tense verb: Last night we ___ pizza (eat), She ___ a letter to Grandma (write), The bell ___ at noon (ring), They ___ a big snowman (build). Every line has a picture clue. Answers on page 2: ate, wrote, flew, found, drank, took, rang, gave, built, slept. It is a third grade grammar sheet, ages 8 to 9, where children write whole words and sentences on their own.
On this sheet
Last night we pizza. (eat) She a letter to Grandma. (write) The bird over the barn. (fly) I my lost shoe. (find) He a glass of milk. (drink) We the bus to the zoo. (take) The bell at noon. (ring) Tom his dog a bone. (give) They a big snowman. (build) My cat all day.
Tips for using it
- Do one grammar sheet at a time and read the instructions aloud together; the rule usually fits in one sentence.
- Ask children to say each sentence out loud before they write: most grammar mistakes sound wrong when spoken.
- Use the answer key to let older kids check their own work with a colored pencil.
- Mix one picture sheet with one writing sheet per week so grammar does not feel like a test.
Printing tips
