In this ESL grammar lesson, students write a suitable verb in the blanks to complete various present tense sentences. These sentences have singular third-person subjects, so the students need to write verbs that agree with these subjects (by adding -s/-es to the verbs).
This lesson will help you understand and practice the present tense, a crucial aspect of English grammar used in everyday communication. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to confidently use the present tense to describe actions, habits, and general truths.
The English grammar lesson below reviews the present tense by having students write appropriate verbs in the blanks of several sentences. Our series of ESL grammar lessons on subjects and verbs introduce these concepts and reinforce them through helpful and instructive exercises.
This lesson is available for free download, and you can download many more English grammar lessons focusing on basic English tenses (present tense, present continuous tense, past tense, future tense) in our comprehensive, beginner-level ESL grammar textbook Great, Great Grammar! (Book 2: Tenses).
