Missing Helpers Passage

Students complete a passage by inserting appropriate helping verbs from a provided word bank. The story format encourages reading comprehension while reinforcing grammar skills. Learners must determine which auxiliary verb best fits each sentence based on tense, meaning, and subject-verb agreement. The exercise builds accuracy in selecting helping verbs that create smooth, natural sentences. Students also practice analyzing narrative context, which supports deeper grammatical understanding. This blended task helps students apply grammar knowledge in real connected text rather than isolated sentences.
