Grade 2 Daily Routines Grammar Worksheet: Present Simple I / He / She

Student Task

• Use this worksheet after students are comfortable with the Daily Routines vocabulary (from the Vocabulary PowerPoint, Flashcards, and Vocabulary Worksheet), since it assumes students already know the routine words and are now ready to focus on sentence grammar. Review the rule reminder at the top of the page together before students begin. Activities 1 and 2 work well as guided or independent practice; Activity 3 is a good check of whether students can produce the grammar rather than just recognise it; Activity 4 combines grammar with reading comprehension and works well as a closing task. Keep the Grammar Reminder box visible as an anchor chart idea for your classroom wall.

Classroom Use

• Play a quick "He Says, She Says" oral drill before the written work: say a base-form sentence like "I eat breakfast," and have students respond with the he/she version ("He eats breakfast" or "She eats breakfast," alternating). This builds automaticity with the -s ending before students have to apply it in writing.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Let students underline the subject (I, He, She) in each sentence before choosing or writing the verb, as a visual cue for which rule applies. Reduce Activity 2 to four items if six feels like too much.
ON-LEVEL: Students complete all four activities independently in one sitting.
CHALLENGE: Ask students to rewrite two sentences from Activity 4 by changing "Ben" to "I" and adjusting the verbs accordingly, to practise the rule in both directions.

Answer Key & Assessment

Use the completed worksheet as a direct check of the -s/-es rule, and mark it against the included answer key. Watch for the specific error pattern of dropping the -s entirely, which is extremely common with English learners and worth a quick small-group review if several students make it.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to identify the correct present simple verb form for I, he, and she.
• Students will be able to write the correct -s or -es form of common daily routine verbs.
• Students will be able to build a complete present simple sentence from a subject and a verb prompt.
• Students will be able to read a short present simple passage and answer true/false comprehension questions correctly.

Teacher Tips

When a student makes a wrong choice in Activity 1, ask them to say both options out loud rather than simply correcting them. Grade 2 English learners often self-correct once they hear "he wake up" against "he wakes up," because the missing -s sounds noticeably wrong to the ear even before it is understood as a rule.
