Can you provide exercises for practicing English verb forms

Here are some effective exercises for practicing English verb forms:

1. Fill-in-the-blank exercises with verb tense changes: Students complete sentences by choosing the correct verb form based on tense (e.g., past, present, future) and aspect (simple, progressive, perfect).

2. Sentence transformation exercises: Students rewrite sentences changing the verb forms to demonstrate mastery over different tenses and aspects.

3. Gap-filling with verb forms in context: Using short paragraphs or dialogues, learners fill gaps with appropriate verb forms, helping practice verb agreement and tense consistency.

4. Subject-verb agreement drills: Exercises where students identify or correct errors in verb forms to ensure they agree in number and person with the subject.

5. Verb form classification tasks: Learners sort verbs into regular vs irregular or classify by tense and aspect.

6. Collaborative practice activities: Group discussions or breakout sessions focusing on verb tense use in conversation to reinforce understanding.

7. Self-testing and digitally generated exercises: Using AI-based or online tools to repeatedly practice non-finite verb forms like infinitives, gerunds, and participles for flexible application.

Such exercises range from controlled practice to communicative use and cater to various proficiency levels, helping learners strengthen their grammatical competence with English verbs systematically. ^{1, 3, 4, 8}
