About A1 grammar worksheets
Beginners at A1 need the core structures that let them talk about themselves and their daily lives. That means be in all its forms, present simple for routines, have got, can for ability and permission, there is and there are, articles, plurals, possessive adjectives, this and that, some and any, and the past of be.
The worksheets present one structure at a time with clear examples, then practice it through matching, multiple choice, gap fill with a word bank, unscrambling word order and short personalized sentences. Instructions are simple and consistent, so beginners can work on their own.
Every sheet includes an answer key and a teacher copy. Print on A4 or US Letter, download as PDF, or share a class link for online completion without an account. Differentiated versions offer large print and a dyslexia-friendly font.
Teaching tips: A1 grammar worksheets
- Teach question forms and short answers alongside positive sentences from the first lesson, so learners can start real conversations.
- Use the word order exercises as a pair race with cut-up sentence strips before learners complete the written version.
- Keep a consistent color for verbs when you write on the board, then ask learners to highlight verbs on the worksheet the same way.
- Recycle a structure a week later with a different sheet rather than repeating the same one.
