This medium sheet steps up the challenge with nine fill-in-the-blank questions where Grade 2 students identify action verbs inside full sentences and form past tense words like threw, hopped, and ate. A matching section pairs present tense verbs run, eat, jump, and swim with their past tense partners ran, ate, jumped, and swam.
