Helping Verb Fill-In

In this worksheet, students insert the correct helping verb to complete each sentence accurately. They must choose from a list including forms of be, do, have, and modals such as can, should, and must. Students pay close attention to tense, number, and meaning to determine which auxiliary verb fits best. This activity strengthens their understanding of how helping verbs support main verbs in forming progressive, perfect, and future tenses. By reading each sentence carefully, learners develop grammatical precision and awareness of verb phrases. The exercise also reinforces vocabulary related to everyday activities and school routines. Students practice identifying subtle cues that influence verb choice, helping them become stronger writers and readers.
