Verb Choice Challenge

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen grammar accuracy by selecting the correct verb form to complete each sentence. Through multiple-choice analysis, learners practice identifying whether a verb requires a gerund, an infinitive, or allows both, while using context clues, sentence meaning, and standard English conventions to guide their decisions.

Learning Goals

• Grammar in Context (Grades 5-7) – Students choose verb forms that fit meaning, structure, and natural usage.
• Verb Form Recognition – Learners identify verbs that take gerunds, infinitives, or either form depending on meaning.
• Meaning and Usage Awareness – Students notice subtle shifts in meaning that occur when verb forms change.
• Standard English Conventions – The activity reinforces correct, fluent grammar in complete sentences.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with ELA grammar standards and classroom instruction.
• Multiple-Choice Practice – Supports test-taking skills while requiring thoughtful comparison, not guessing.
• Real-Life Sentence Contexts – Scenarios involving routines, preferences, reminders, and obligations improve relevance.
• Flexible Use – Ideal for independent practice, grammar review, homework, or test preparation.

This verb choice worksheet helps students improve grammar fluency, contextual reasoning, verb pattern recognition, and sentence accuracy. By evaluating multiple options and selecting the best verb form, learners gain confidence applying gerunds and infinitives correctly in both writing and reading. Whether used in a classroom or homeschool language arts setting, this printable provides focused, no-prep practice with essential grammar-in-context skills.
