Irregular verbs: forming the past tense

A Year 2 irregular verbs worksheet focusing on forming the past tense. This KS1 activity was created by an experienced teacher to help your child practise what they will be learning at school.

Keystage: KS1, Year 2

What are some examples of irregular verbs?

Irregular verbs can be a bit tricky because they don't follow the usual rules for changing tense. Here are some common examples to help your child learn:

Present: am/is/are
Past: was/were
Past participle: been

Begin

Present: begin
Past: began
Past participle: begun

Break

Present: break
Past: broke
Past participle: broken

How will this Irregular verbs worksheet help your child?

This teacher-made worksheet will help your child understand, recognise and use the correct past tense irregular verb, embedding their school-learning and building their confidence. Simple explanations and examples are provided for your child and then they are encouraged to complete the list of past tense words by themselves.
