2nd Grade Identifying verbs Worksheets

Second graders should form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs, as specified in CCSS L.2.1d. This includes verbs like: go/went, come/came, run/ran, see/saw, give/gave, sit/sat, tell/told, think/thought, take/took, and write/wrote. Students also continue practicing regular past tense (adding ed) and learn to identify verbs as action words in sentences. At this level, children begin to understand that verbs change form depending on when the action happened. They should distinguish between present tense (I run), past tense (I ran), and future tense using "will" (I will run). Worksheets that ask students to rewrite sentences changing the verb tense, or to choose the correct past tense form from two options, provide targeted practice. Verb knowledge is fundamental to sentence construction, so mastery at this level supports all future grammar and writing development.
