This Grade 3 worksheet focuses on the Present Continuous Tense and helps young learners understand how to describe actions happening right now. Through carefully structured exercises, students practice forming sentences using “is/am/are + verb + ing” in meaningful and engaging contexts.
Designed especially for Grade 3 learners, this worksheet includes multiple choice questions, true and false identification, fill in the blanks, sentence rewriting, and paragraph-based application tasks. Each activity builds step-by-step understanding of how the present continuous tense works in everyday communication.
The present continuous tense is essential for describing actions happening at the moment of speaking. For Grade 3 students, this topic is important because:
1. It helps them describe real-time actions clearly.
2. It strengthens understanding of helping verbs (is, am, are).
3. It improves sentence structure and subject–verb agreement.
4. It prepares them for advanced tense learning in higher grades.
Exercise 1 – Multiple Choice Questions
Students choose the sentence written in the present continuous tense. This strengthens tense recognition skills and helps differentiate between simple present, simple past, and present continuous forms.
Exercise 2 – True or False
Learners read each sentence and identify whether it is correctly written in the present continuous tense. This builds editing and grammar-checking skills.
Exercise 3 – Fill in the Blanks
Students complete sentences using the correct present continuous form of the verbs given in brackets. This improves verb transformation accuracy.
Exercise 4 – Sentence Rewriting
Students rewrite simple present tense sentences into present continuous tense. This reinforces structural understanding and subject–verb agreement.
Exercise 5 – Paragraph Completion
Learners read a short passage and fill in the blanks using verbs from a word bank in present continuous form. This activity promotes contextual grammar application and comprehension.
By completing this worksheet, students gain confidence in identifying, forming, and applying the present continuous tense in both isolated sentences and paragraph contexts.
