Gerund Check-Up

This worksheet helps students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 strengthen their understanding of gerunds and infinitives by evaluating whether each sentence uses the correct verb form. Through careful reading, grammar analysis, sentence-level editing, and revision practice, learners determine when verb patterns are accurate and when corrections are needed, reinforcing precise use of standard English conventions.

Key Learning Objectives

• Grammar and Standard English Conventions (Grades 6-8) – Students evaluate sentences for correct use of gerunds and infinitives.
• Verb Form Accuracy – Learners distinguish between verbs that require gerunds, infinitives, or allow both with meaning changes.
• Sentence-Level Error Detection – Students identify incorrect structures within complete sentences.
• Editing and Revising Skills – Rewriting incorrect sentences strengthens proofreading and revision abilities.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with middle school grammar standards and classroom expectations.
• Correct-or-Fix Format – Encourages close analysis rather than automatic rewriting of every sentence.
• Context-Based Practice – Sentences reflect realistic language use rather than isolated rules.
• Flexible Use – Suitable for independent practice, grammar review, formative assessment, or editing workshops.

This gerund check-up worksheet supports grammar mastery, verb pattern recognition, editing precision, and writing accuracy. By deciding whether sentences are correct or need revision, students sharpen their ability to spot and fix verb form errors in context. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool language arts setting, this printable provides focused, no-prep practice that prepares learners for more advanced grammar and writing revision tasks.
