🌟 Is Am Are Worksheet for Class 1 – English Grammar Practice
Learning to make correct English sentences becomes easier when children know how to use is, am and are. The Is Am Are Worksheet for Class 1 from WitKnowLearn introduces these important words through simple examples and beginner-friendly grammar activities.
This printable worksheet is useful for CBSE Class 1 English Grammar revision, classroom practice and homework. Children can practise selecting the correct word to complete a sentence while building confidence in reading and writing.
For example, we say I am happy, She is happy and They are happy. Although the sentences express similar ideas, the correct verb changes with the subject.
Students who need help identifying sentence subjects can first practise with our Pronouns He, She, It and They Worksheet for Class 1.
📘 What Are Is, Am and Are?
Is, am and are are forms of the verb be. They help us tell who someone is, describe something or say where a person or object is.
👦 He is my brother.
🙋 I am six years old.
👭 We are classmates.
🐱 The kitten is under the table.
🎒 My books are in my bag.
These words can also help another verb. In the sentence “She is singing”, the word is helps the action word singing. In “She is cheerful”, the word is connects the subject to its description.

🗣️ Complete my sentence: Say “The bird ___ small” and ask children to respond with the missing word.
👀 Look around: Ask students to describe their classroom. They might say “The board is green,” “The desks are clean” or “I am at school.”
👫 Pair activity: Two students can introduce themselves and their friends using sentences such as “I am Riya,” “He is Kabir” and “We are classmates.”

👩🏫 Teaching Tips for Parents and Teachers
When teaching is, am and are, begin with the child's own experiences. Sentences such as “I am hungry,” “My lunchbox is full” and “We are at school” are easy to understand because they describe familiar situations.
Next, introduce a subject chart. Ask students to identify the person or thing at the beginning of each sentence before choosing the correct verb.
For learners who find the topic difficult, start with just three combinations: I am, He is and We are. Add more subjects gradually.
For extra practice, use the Helping Verbs Is Am Are Worksheet for Class 1. This provides another opportunity to revise the same grammar skill.
Teachers can also connect the lesson to demonstrative expressions. Once children understand singular and plural subjects, they can explore These Are and Those Are Worksheets for Class 1.
