Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
The perfect tenses use a form of ‘have’ plus the past participle of a verb. Present perfect uses have or has and links the past to now, past perfect uses had to show an action finished before another past action, and future perfect uses will have to show an action finished before a future time. This worksheet teaches students to name each one.
Section A gives eight sentences (I have finished my lunch; She had left before noon) and asks students to write present, past, or future. The reference box teaches the tenses with ‘she had walked home’ and ‘they will have slept’, sentences not reused in the items.
Section B asks students which helping verb signals the present and future perfect, to write a past-perfect sentence, and to name the two parts of every perfect verb. Page 3 is a complete answer key. The skill builds toward verb tense control in writing.
How to Use This Lesson
Read the reference box aloud and point to the helping verb in each example.
Complete Section A independently – have students underline have/has, had, or will have.
Work Section B item 11 together: write a sentence in the past perfect tense.
Use the answer key on page 3 for self-check or teacher review.
Pair with the Verb Tenses Worksheet or the Irregular Verbs Worksheet for a verbs mini-unit.
