This challenging first grade worksheet stretches young learners with multiple choice items that ask them to pick the verb out of full sentences such as 'The tall boy runs fast' and 'We eat lunch at noon,' and to spot which word in a list of sing, dance, book, and swim is not an action word.

Fill-in-the-blank sentences then introduce simple tense clues with 'Yesterday, she ___ to the store,' 'Right now, he is ___ a song,' and 'I will ___ my homework tonight,' nudging children toward walked, singing, and finish. This sentence-level work prepares first graders for second grade lessons on past, present, and future verb forms.
