Greetings and Introductions Grammar — am / is / are, Question Word Order

About This Resource

A two-part grammar worksheet practicing the verb to be (am / is / are) with I, you, he, and she, and the word order of questions like "What's your name?" and "How are you?", with a full answer key.

Overview

Part A has students complete six sentences by writing am, is, or are, matched to a picture where one fits naturally. Part B introduces the target skill for this unit: given a scrambled set of words, students put them in the correct order to form a question, practicing the pattern twice each for "What's your name?" and "How are you?" with slight variations.

Grade 1 35-45 Minutes Grammar

Student Task

Complete Part A, writing am, is, or are for each sentence.
Complete Part B, putting the scrambled words in order to write each question.
Check work with the answer key.

Classroom Use

Do a quick "I say, you say" drill before the worksheet: say a sentence with "I" ("I am happy"), and have the whole class respond with the matching "you" form together ("You are happy").

Differentiation

Support: complete Part B together as a class first, having students only copy the answer after saying it aloud correctly.

Extension: have students write one additional am/is/are sentence of their own about a classmate.

Answer Key & Assessment

Score out of 10 items across the two parts using the answer key; use Part B results specifically to gauge whether question word order needs more oral practice before the Unit Quiz.

Learning Objectives

Students will be able to use the verb to be correctly with I, you, he, and she, and produce questions with correct word order using "What's" and "How."

Teacher Tips

Model the difference between I am and you/he/she are/is out loud several times before students reach Part A — the verb to be is irregular from the very first lesson, and it is worth flagging in advance rather than letting students discover the pattern break on their own.
