Possession & Past Power: Mastering Have, Has, and Had for Grade 3 

This Grade 3 grammar worksheet focuses on using have, has, and had correctly in sentences. Designed to strengthen foundational grammar skills, this resource helps young learners understand subject-verb agreement and the difference between present and past possession.

Through engaging exercises like fill in the blanks, true/false, multiple-choice questions, sentence rewriting, and paragraph writing, students practice identifying the correct helping verb based on time and subject. The worksheet gradually builds confidence by moving from guided practice to independent writing.

Why Have, Has, and Had Matter in Grammar? 

Understanding have, has, and had is important for Grade 3 learners because: 
1. These words show possession and completed actions. 
2. They change depending on the subject (I, we, they vs. he, she, it). 
3. They help express present and past time clearly. 
4. They form the foundation for more advanced tenses in later grades.

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This worksheet includes five structured grammar activities:

Exercise 1 – Fill in the Blanks 
Students complete ten sentences using have, has, or had from the word bank. Sentences include examples like “Ravi ___ a yellow raincoat” and “They ___ a holiday last week,” helping learners understand tense clues such as yesterday and last week.

Exercise 2 – True or False 
Students read each sentence carefully and decide whether the usage of have, has, or had is correct. This builds editing and grammar-checking skills.

Exercise 3 – Multiple Choice Questions 
Students choose the correct option (a, b, or c) to complete each sentence. This reinforces subject-verb agreement and tense recognition.

Exercise 4 – Sentence Rewriting 
Students rewrite sentences by replacing the incorrect verb with the correct one from the box. This improves error correction and grammar awareness.

Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing 
Students write a short paragraph on “The Pet I Want” using have, has, and had correctly. This encourages creative expression while applying grammar knowledge.
