Grade 4 Jobs and Community Helpers Grammar Worksheet: What Does a ___ Do?

About This Resource

A two-page worksheet that practises the questions "What does a ___ do?" and "Where does a ___ work?" together with the third-person -s verb ending, through sentence choice, sentence completion, question-answer matching, and a short reading dialogue.

Overview

This worksheet takes students from recognising the target grammar to using it in context. Activity 1 has students circle the correct sentence for a job picture, choosing between two similar options so they have to read carefully rather than guess. Activity 2 asks them to complete sentences with the missing third-person -s verb, using the picture as support. Activity 3 is a question-answer matching task covering both "What does a ___ do?" and "Where does a ___ work?", and Activity 4 is a short reading passage — a conversation between Arun and Mei about their parents' jobs — followed by true-or-false comprehension questions that check whether students can follow job language in connected speech rather than single sentences.

Grade 4 45-55 Minutes Jobs and Community Helpers Grammar

Student Task

Use after students have met the vocabulary and both question-and-answer patterns through the Vocabulary PowerPoint and Guided Practice with the Flashcards, since this worksheet assumes the words are already familiar and focuses on the grammar around them. Students can complete Activities 1–3 independently; Activity 4 works well read aloud as a class first (with the teacher or two students taking the roles of Arun and Mei) before students answer the true-or-false questions on their own.

Classroom Use

After finishing Activity 4, have pairs write and perform a short new dialogue of their own where each partner describes a family member's or neighbor's job, using the Arun-and-Mei conversation as a model. Two or three pairs can perform theirs for the class.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Read the Activity 4 dialogue aloud slowly as a class before students answer independently, and allow students to underline the sentence in the dialogue that answers each true-or-false question.
ON-LEVEL: Students complete all four activities independently in the suggested order.
CHALLENGE: After Activity 3, ask students to write one additional question-and-answer pair of their own about a job not used elsewhere on the page.

Answer Key & Assessment

Collect the completed worksheet and mark it against the answer key. Activity 4 is the strongest indicator of overall comprehension, since it requires understanding connected sentences rather than a single isolated sentence at a time.

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to choose the correct job sentence for a picture.
Students will be able to complete sentences with the correct third-person -s verb form.
Students will be able to match "What does a ___ do?" and "Where does a ___ work?" questions to their answers.
Students will be able to read a short dialogue about jobs and answer true-or-false questions about it.

Teacher Tips

Before Activity 4, ask students to predict what job Mei's mother has based only on the first line, then read on to check. This turns the reading into a small "guess and check" task rather than a straight read-through, and it usually gets even quieter students to commit to an answer out loud.
