Present Builders

This worksheet helps students in Grades 3 and 4 build strong grammar foundations by writing original sentences using common verbs in the simple present tense. Students focus on subject-verb agreement, verb endings, sentence structure, and writing fluency as they apply rules for adding -s and -es in meaningful, self-generated contexts rather than isolated drills.
