In the Moment: Present Continuous Tense Worksheet for Class 3 

 
This Grade 3 worksheet helps students master the Present Continuous Tense — the form used to describe actions happening right now with am/is/are + verb + ing. Through a structured mix of activities like multiple-choice questions, true or false, fill in the blanks, rewriting, and paragraph writing, children build fluency in identifying and using continuous actions in real-life contexts.  

Why the Present Continuous Tense Matters in Grammar?  

This tense builds communication confidence by helping learners talk about ongoing activities. For Class 3 students, it is important because:  
1. It strengthens understanding of *am/is/are* with correct subjects.  
2. It builds descriptive and observation-based language skills.  
3. It improves both spoken fluency and grammatical accuracy.  
4. It supports creative writing and storytelling with clarity.
