Word Endings: -ed and -ing: Snack Time Spelling

This activity on the past and present tenses makes learning about -ed and -ing word endings a delicious adventure! Students will practice applying these crucial inflectional endings in two parts: First, they’ll circle the word with the correct tense to complete each of nine snack-themed sentences; then they’ll write the appropriate form of each verb in context all on their own. 

This worksheet will support young learners as they practice using verb tense to determine whether an action is happening now or has already finished. It’s a fantastic way to boost students’ ability to understand simple verb tenses in their reading and use them in their own writing.
