Free grammar worksheets by grade, K-5

These free grammar worksheets run from kindergarten to 5th grade, on one page with a section for each grade. Every sheet works on one rule, such as what makes a sentence, nouns and verbs, capitals and end marks, contractions, subject-verb agreement, fragments and run-ons, verb tenses or commas, and links to its PDF and to a guide for parents on the same rule.

The questions come from the grammar practice in the Tutorsaurus app, keeping the ones that work on paper. Most ask the child to circle the right word or the sentence that is written correctly; the sentence-building sheets in 1st and 2nd grade give a line to write each sentence out with its words in order.

What is in each PDF

Each worksheet prints in black and white on US Letter paper: 8 to 12 questions on one skill, easier ones first, with room for a name and date, and an answer key on the last page. A sheet with a reading passage prints the passage once, above the questions that go with it, and can run to a second page of questions. Free to print, no sign-up.

How to use these worksheets

Pick the grade, then the rule your child is learning in class or keeps getting wrong in their own writing. A child’s own writing is the best guide: if every sentence in a story runs into the next, the fragments and run-ons sheet is a better use of ten minutes than a general review.

Have your child read each sentence out loud before choosing. Many grammar mistakes sound wrong even when they look fine on the page, and saying the sentence brings the ear into play.

When you check the answer key together, ask why the wrong choices are wrong. A child who can say β€œthat one has no verb” or β€œthose are two sentences glued together” has understood the rule rather than guessed it.

The names for things change by grade. Kindergarten and 1st grade talk about naming words and action words; by 3rd and 4th grade children are expected to know parts of speech, pronouns and prepositions by name. If a term on a sheet is new, the guide linked under it explains it in plain English.
