Eleven sentences and a full reference list make this helping verbs worksheet one of the more complete single-page grammar tools you’ll find for early elementary.
A cheerful yellow-and-blue layout opens with a definition box and a complete helping verb reference list, am through could, before moving into two distinct activity sections. Cartoon characters, a smiling star, a pencil, and two kids anchor the corners without cluttering the workspace.
Section one asks students to underline the helping verb in six full sentences. Section two is a multiple-choice circle exercise with five sentences paired with three answer options each. A green reminder box at the bottom walks through exactly why the helping verb lands before the main verb, with a labeled example sentence. The mix of free-response and multiple-choice keeps the session active rather than repetitive.


Colored pencils work well for the underline section since light strokes won’t bleed through to a second copy. Gel pens add a satisfying pop when circling multiple-choice answers and stay precise inside the tight answer columns. Use fine liners cautiously on the reference list box, as heavy ink over the small text can obscure the word list.

Standard 20 lb copy paper handles this cleanly, but 24 lb gives the underlines and circles a crisper look if students press hard. Print at 100 percent scale so the answer columns in section two stay properly spaced.
