About this worksheet
Three mason jars labeled future, present and past, five writing lines under each, and a fifteen-word bank at the foot of the page. Two fireflies drift in the margins. The verbs are glow, buzz, crawl, climb and hop, each given in all three tenses.
This is the no-scissors version of the same sort, and it asks for more than the cut and paste sheets do: a child has to copy the word out, which means noticing that hop becomes hopped with two p’s while crawl becomes crawled with none. The jars are also deliberately ordered future, present, past rather than the usual left-to-right, so nobody fills them in from habit.
What students will practice
- Sort verbs into future, present and past
- Write each verb out rather than pasting it
- Handle the doubled consonant in hopped
