Helping Verb Underline

This worksheet asks students to read short sentences and underline the helping verb or helping verbs. The sentences are grouped into three thematic categories-school life, at home, and adventure time-which gives students exposure to a variety of real-world contexts. Learners must analyze each verb phrase to determine which words function as auxiliaries. This helps them distinguish between helping verbs and main verbs, an essential grammar skill for accurate reading comprehension. The activity also reinforces recognition of progressive and perfect tenses. By completing the exercise, students strengthen grammatical fluency and build confidence in identifying multi-word verb structures.
