Past, Present, or Future?

Want to talk about time clearly in your writing? By recognizing verb tenses, you’ll learn how to show when an action happens—yesterday, today, or tomorrow. This playsheet gives you simple practice with spotting past, present, and future verbs in sentences.

You’ll explore how past tense verbs describe completed actions, like walked or played. Present tense verbs show what’s happening now, like walks or plays. Future tense verbs tell what will happen, like will walk or will play. Each form helps you place actions in time.

Through fun activities, you’ll underline verbs in sentences, match them with the correct tense, and choose the best option to complete a thought. These tasks make it easy to see how verb endings and helping words change the meaning.
