About Movers grammar worksheets
At Movers level (A1), children move beyond describing what they can see. The big step is the past simple, including common irregular verbs such as went, saw and had, together with comparatives and superlatives, adverbs of manner, must and have to, want to and like doing, and relative clauses with who, which and where.
The worksheets use short picture stories and scenes so the grammar always has a context. Learners order sentences to retell a story, choose between two verb forms, complete gap fills, compare characters in a picture and answer questions about what someone did yesterday. Several tasks echo the Movers Reading and Writing paper.
Every sheet has an answer key. Print on A4 or US Letter, save as PDF, or share a class link that students open without an account.
Teaching tips: Movers grammar worksheets
- Build a class wall chart of irregular past forms and add to it every time a new verb appears on a worksheet.
- Before a comparatives sheet, line up three children by height and elicit taller, the tallest, then let the class compare other objects.
- Use the picture stories for oral retelling in pairs before learners write, so they rehearse the past forms aloud.
- Give faster finishers the optional challenge of writing one extra sentence about their own weekend.
Questions teachers ask
When do Movers learners start the past simple?
The past simple is a core Movers structure, so it is usually introduced early in the Movers year. Start with was and were and a few high-frequency irregular verbs before regular -ed endings.
Are the Movers sheets suitable for learners not taking the exam?
Yes. They follow the Movers syllabus because it is well graded, but the topics and tasks work in any primary class at around A1.
How do I support students who find writing difficult?
Choose the word bank version or large-print version, and let students answer orally before writing. The online class link also helps students who struggle with handwriting.
