This Grade 3 worksheet introduces students to the helping verbs *has*, *have*, and *had*, used to express possession and past ownership. With fun and repetitive grammar practice, learners build fluency through underlining, blanks, MCQs, rewriting, and picture-based sentence writing.
These verbs are used daily in real-life communication. For Grade 3 students, they are important because:
1. “Has” and “have” show present possession; “had” shows past ownership.
2. They support subject–verb agreement with singular/plural forms.
3. They help children describe experiences and things they own.
4. They improve fluency in both speaking and writing about everyday life.
This worksheet includes five skill-based activities to build present and past tense helping verb usage:
🧠 Exercise 1 – Underline the Helping Verbs
