This worksheet provides students with fifteen sentences about surfer Marco and his pup. Students will rewrite the verb in parentheses using the present tense, explicitly focusing on verbs that end in "s," "es," and "ies." An example is provided to guide students. This worksheet is ideal for lessons on mastering present-tense verb endings, especially the third-person singular. It is perfect for reinforcing grammar skills related to regular verbs and verbs ending in "Y."

Changing verbs to third-person singular present means making sure verbs match when discussing one person or thing doing an action. For example, when you say, "He catches the ball," the verb "catch" changes to "catches" because "he" is just one person doing the action. Knowing how to do this is helpful because it makes your sentences sound right and clear. It shows you understand who is doing what in the sentence and helps others understand you better when you talk or write about things happening now.
