Exemplary Prose:
Essential Writing Skills in Context

Verbs worksheet

The worksheets that are linked to this page are directly connected to the lessons put forth in the verbs section of the grammar rules page. Although you can do them on your own, it would be in your best interest to read a section of the verbs page and look below for the link that will allow you to practice the skill you just learned (or re-learned).

Each worksheet has an answer worksheet that will help you see how you faired. If you would like more practice, I suggest you visit Charles Darling's web site and/or look for some grammar books from your local bookstore of library. 

Each page can be printed so that you can do the work away from the computer. Enjoy!
