Please help me with my 6 y/o's English Homework

[BloodyHardHomework]

I've changed my username because I'm too embarrassed to let people know I can't do my 6-year-old's homework! Can anybody please tell me what words should go in the blanks instead of go/have?

Just go / go / have would make perfect sense

The is at the homework, not at you OP

I think go and have are correct. Number 4 is wrong-you need a form of “drink”.

I suspect the teacher has photocopied that without looking at it properly.

Speaking as a teacher : I don't understand what they are looking for either!

It is very odd to have so many examples where the answer is unchanged from the clue. I would say that 2 & 4 are wrong, they should be "have" and "drink" if they are supposed to use the verb in brackets only.

Nothing wrong with go or have, it's the worksheet that's faulty not you

No idea sorry! I feel like most of the correct answers are in the brackets!

Agree with others that 'go', 'have' and 'drink' would all work!

I don’t think it’s a mistake by the teacher. They’ve written the infinitive form of the verbs and they want you to put them in the correct form. Sometimes that means using the infinitive (eg after ‘let’) or using a first person form which often looks the same as the infinitive (eg ‘we have’).

Should it be have biscuits? Seems a bit odd and unimaginative!

I would write.

Xxxxxxx spent 20 minutes on this homework. It does not make sense to her or me.

Is there any other text to go with the worksheet? A reading book? I'm a teacher and I haven't a clue what the answers are.

What a ridiculous activity to set anyone - let alone a 6 year old.

I'd be very interested to hear what the "learning intention" or "desired outcome was.

Does your 6 year old know what the root or infinitive of a verb is???

Have they left some of the answers in the brackets by mistake?

This has got to be the worst homework task I have seen in a long time! What is the child learning to do? Use different forms of the given verb? Change the verb? It is totally inappropriate for a homework task. Send it back I complete and tell the teacher that it makes no sense! I am a primary teacher BTW!

Yes, just go and have are right.
I go
You go
He/ she goes
We go
They go
One goes
Etc....
So for some the

Sorry!
For some the answer may look the same as the infinitive (in brackets).
Stupid, badly thought out homework though to have that happen 4 times. No wonder you were doubting it!

The activity makes perfect sense. Some verbs need changing, some don't.

The answers are:

1. am
2. have
3. are
4. drink
5. is
6. go
7. go
8. have

You're not supposed to change the verb in brackets, just use its correct form (Ist/2nd/3rd person etc). Eg the verb to have can be I have, you have, he has, she has, we have, they have. Quite a lot of them don't change from the infinitive so you just use go for Let's go swimming.

Should add, using the correct form of the verb is a specified part of the KS1 curriculum.

No. 8 makes no sense.

We _teatime now (have)

Using those words the answer they are looking for is We have teatime now. That is not a standard English sentence.

Using the correct form of a verb is perfectly reasonable for ks1.

Ridiculous work sheets like this are appalling practice for a teacher in ks1

MrDonut do you honestly believe the activity would make perfect sense to a 6 year old? Because that is who the task was given to.

I understood perfectly what the task was. But am baffled as to why any self respecting KS1 teacher would think it was a well planned activity.

'We have teatime now' doesn't make sense

We are having ...?
