About This Resource

Hello there! We know that teaching the basics of English can sometimes feel a bit like piecing together a giant puzzle. One of the most important parts of that puzzle is helping children understand how to use small but mighty words like "is," "am," "are," "has," and "have."

Our Is, Am, Are, Has & Have Grammar Worksheets for KS1 & KS2 are designed to make this tricky part of learning much easier and a lot more fun. Whether you are a parent helping at the kitchen table or a teacher looking for a quick morning activity, this resource is here to help your little ones feel more confident with their writing.

What is this resource?

This resource is a straightforward, easy-to-follow worksheet that focuses on the core building blocks of English sentences. It is designed for children in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, making it a versatile tool for different ages and abilities.

The worksheet is split into two main parts. First, children will find fill-in-the-blank sentences where they have to choose the correct word to make the sentence make sense. Second, there is a space for them to get creative and write their own sentences from scratch. This helps them move from just "knowing" the rule to actually using it in their own work.

Who is it for?

We have created this specifically for children aged 5 to 11. For younger children in Year 1 or Year 2, it is a brilliant way to introduce the idea of subject-verb agreement. For older children in Key Stage 2, it serves as a fantastic refresher to ensure they aren't making those common little slips in their daily writing.

If you are looking for more ways to support your child's reading and writing, you might also want to check out our KS1 Literacy Resources. For those just starting their primary school adventure, our Year 1 English Activities are a great place to find more foundational tasks.

What will children learn?

The main goal of this worksheet is to help children master is am are has have grammar. These words are often called "helper verbs" because they help the main action of the sentence. By using this resource, children will:

Understand which verb matches with "I," "he/she/it," and "they."
Learn the difference between "being" words (is, am, are) and "having" words (has, have).
Improve their subject-verb agreement so their sentences sound natural and correct.
Build the confidence to write their own sentences without worrying about making mistakes.

Tips for using this at home or in class

You don't need a long lesson plan to make the most of this worksheet! Here are two simple ways to use it:

The "Read it Aloud" Trick: When your child is filling in the blanks, ask them to read the sentence out loud using both options. Often, their ears will tell them which one sounds "right" before their brain even processes the grammar rule.
The Sentence Challenge: Once they have finished the worksheet, ask them to find one "is" and one "have" in their favourite storybook. It helps them see that the is am are has have grammar they just practised is used by real authors every day.

We hope this resource helps your children feel like grammar superstars!
