Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Form the correct present-simple verb ending for a given subject, including the third-person -s
Rewrite a present-simple sentence in the present continuous tense using the correct auxiliary and -ing verb
Identify whether a given sentence uses present simple or present continuous tense
Teaching tips
Assign the two present-simple sheets first since they isolate the -s ending before the pronoun-and-verb sheet asks students to supply both parts independently
Use the tense-identification page as a quick recognition check before the present-continuous rewriting page, which requires production rather than recognition
Skills covered
Present-simple verb conjugation — students supply the correct third-person and other subject forms across two fill-in-the-blank pages.
Frequency-adverb placement — students complete sentences using adverbs such as always, never, and sometimes in the correct position.
Subject-verb agreement with "to be" — students choose am, is, or are to match the sentence's subject.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do the seven worksheets repeat the same present-tense skill, or focus on different parts of the tense?
Each page isolates a different part: two pages drill the plain present-simple fill-in-the-blank, one asks for present-continuous rewriting, one pairs verbs with frequency adverbs like always and never, one has students identify which tense a finished sentence uses, one combines pronoun and verb practice, and the last isolates the verb "to be."
