Fill the Forms

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4 and 5 strengthen their understanding of both regular and irregular past tense verbs through structured chart-based practice. Students complete three verb charts-common verbs, irregular verbs, and base verbs-by supplying missing past tense forms, matching meanings, and recognizing verb patterns. The varied entry points require careful thinking rather than rote memorization, supporting deeper grammar mastery.
