About this resource
Choose is or are to match each pictured subject and complete a sentence ending with “in the box”.
- Picture prompts that begin sentences
- Response boxes for is or are
- Singular-versus-plural visual contexts
Curriculum reference — England: Ontario Grade 2 explicitly includes forms of to be; England Year2 consistent present-tense use is a limited connection. Direct use of past/present including progressive forms is the exact Year2 grammar connection; no inference from grade tags. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
