Irregular Verbs Worksheet, Past Tense Fill-In and Choose
Went, ate, saw: an irregular verbs worksheet that puts ten of the trickiest past tense forms in front of kids before asking them to use those forms in real sentences.
Two sections move students from recognition to application. The first is a two-column table listing ten base verbs, go through have, with blank past tense lines beside each. A friendly cartoon boy holding a pencil anchors the left margin, and a yellow star callout at the top explains the concept with three quick examples.
The second section shifts to sentence context, giving five fill-in blanks where students pick between a past tense form and its base verb in parentheses. Each sentence has a small clip art image beside it, a park bench, a television, a pizza slice, a dog, and a gift box, which gives the irregular verbs worksheet a playful rhythm that keeps young readers moving. Complexity sits at an early elementary level: the vocabulary is simple, but choosing correctly requires knowing which form is right for past tense, making each sentence a genuine check on understanding.

Usage Notes
Colored pencils work well here if students want to color the clip art illustrations between sections, keeping ink off the writing lines. A fine liner in black is ideal for filling in the blank table entries cleanly without bleeding through. Highlighters can be used cautiously to mark the chosen verb in each parenthetical pair, but broad tips risk covering the answer lines.
Printing Tips
Standard 20 lb copy paper handles this worksheet fine, but bumping to 24 lb prevents pencil graphite from ghosting through when students erase and rewrite answers. Print at 100 percent scale to keep the table cells wide enough for handwritten past tense forms.
