Struggling to understand when to use 'is', 'am' and 'are'? This worksheet is specifically designed to help you learn the correct usage of these three common English words. With examples for every answer, you'll quickly master the basics of grammar and gain confidence in your writing.

Understand the Rules of “Is,” “Am” and “Are”.
To ensure you are using the right “is,” “am” or “are” in your sentence, identify the subject first. Then ask yourself if it is singular or plural. For example, if you see the word ‘they,' it is a plural pronoun, so ‘are’ would be the correct choice. Whereas when you see 'you,' a singular pronoun, then 'are' would be an incorrect choice and 'are' would be correct. Grammar rules are not hard to apply once mastered; practice makes perfect!
