A Structured Future Tense Worksheet Pack for 3rd Grade

Verbs are present in every sentence, which means verb tense is present in every sentence, too! Explicit teaching of past, present and future verb tenses is one way to prevent confusion as students begin to express their ideas with greater sophistication. That’s where Teach Starter can help!

This carefully sequenced future tense worksheet pack includes 7 engaging activities that move from foundational understanding to contextual application. It features:

• Word-level activities focused on identifying future tense verbs
• Sentence-level activities where future tense is applied in context
• Paragraph-level activities where skills are transferable to longer texts 

This worksheet pack downloads as an easy-print PDF or an editable Google Slides file. Answers are included in both file options.

These activities will enhance your grammar lessons through differentiated instruction that makes it easier to extend more confident students while supporting those who need a little more scaffolding.

Future Tense Verbs Worksheet Activities to Keep Students Engaged
