Have or Has Worksheet | Subject Verb Agreement Practice | Grammar Printables

This have or has worksheet set gives students focused practice with one of the trickiest verb pairs in English. A teacher built it around one clear rule: use has for one person or thing, and use have for more than one, plus I and you.

What is in this have or has worksheet

The activity is called Mastering Have and Has: A Grammar Adventure, and it keeps that same rule on every page so students always have something to lean on. Each part adds a new kind of thinking, moving from simple fill in the blank practice toward reading and writing.

Fill in the blank practice

Parts 1 and 2 give forty sentences total, each with one blank, where students choose have or has. Sentences cover people, animals, and objects, such as The dog ___ a long tail, Elephants ___ big ears, and My teacher ___ a lot of books. Pronoun subjects like she, they, we, and you are mixed in throughout so kids cannot rely on a single pattern.

Spot the mistake

Part 3 flips the task. Instead of filling a blank, students read a full sentence, such as He have a blue shirt or She has a nice doll, and mark it true or false. This section asks kids to notice the error themselves rather than choosing from a list of options.

Part 4 shifts into a short reading passage about a farmer named Joe and his animals. Students read about his barn, his dog, and his chickens, then answer ten questions that pull have or has straight out of the story, including one that asks who has the tractor. Part 5 closes with five short writing prompts: write an original sentence with have, write one with has, change a sentence to talk about she, change one to talk about they, and fix a sentence with the wrong verb. A drawing prompt on the final page gives early finishers something to do with a pencil.

Grading and teaching support

The download includes a plain answer key that lists the correct answer for every item across 12 pages, so grading goes quickly. A separate teacher key goes much further across 36 pages. For every single item it shows the correct word, explains why that answer is right, names the mistake students commonly make, and offers a short tip a teacher can say out loud. A one page lesson plan rounds things out, written for a 45 minute Grade 2 lesson with a warm up using a real pencil, direct instruction with a T-chart on the board, guided practice calling students up to fill in blanks, independent work time, and a closing exit ticket built around the reading passage.

How to use this have or has worksheet

Many teachers start with the warm up and T-chart from the lesson plan, then hand out Parts 1 and 2 for guided or independent work. Part 3 works well as a quick partner check, since students have to defend true or false out loud. The reading passage in Part 4 pairs naturally with a small group or a sub plan, and Part 5 can double as an exit ticket once the rule feels solid.

This have or has worksheet fits a Grade 2 classroom, a small group pulled for grammar support, or a homeschool grammar block. Teachers also search for this as a have or has grammar packet, since it works as a full verb agreement worksheet review from first practice through the writing prompts. Everything downloads as a PDF, so pages print in black and white just as easily as in color. Take a look at the preview pages before you buy so you can see exactly how each part is laid out.
