Grade 2 Grammar Worksheet
Write the past tense of the verb.
Yesterday, my sister (ride) bikes to school.
Yesterday, we (draw) a red barn.
Yesterday, the farmer (swim) across the pond.
Yesterday, Dad (drive) to the lake.
Yesterday, the class (go) to the park.
Yesterday, Ana (give) a gift to Mom.
Yesterday, the girls (eat) a big sandwich.
Yesterday, I (take) a long walk.
Yesterday, our teacher (fall) from the tree.
Yesterday, the children (buy) fresh apples.
Past tense tells what already happened. Most verbs add ed, as in jumped and walked, but many of the most common verbs change in other ways: go becomes went, eat becomes ate and run becomes ran. These are irregular verbs, and second graders need to know them because they use them every day when they talk and write about yesterday.
This worksheet gives ten sentences that begin with Yesterday and show the present form of the verb in brackets, and the child writes the past form on the line. Ask your child to say the sentence aloud with the answer. Words like goed, eated and runned sound wrong to a careful ear, and they are the most common slips on this skill.
