Appropriate Use of Helping Verbs

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Intended for learners struggling with or having issues using auxiliary verbs, this activity has them orally compose sentences using one of the provided helping verbs. They will attempt to find patterns in groups of verbs and make class rules to help them remember which verb to use when. This would also be a good activity to promote proper verb usage in ELLs.
