Practice am, is, are, was and were with your own material

A Quizizz-style verb to be quiz works best when it uses your teacher's own sentences instead of generic examples. DeckOwl reads your notes and writes questions that test the same forms and contexts your class covered.

Match am with I, is with singular third-person subjects, and are with you, we and they.
Practice past forms was and were in the same quiz so learners contrast tenses.
Include true/false items that present common mistakes like 'He are late' for learners to correct.
Review missed questions with the explanations before retaking the quiz.

Example verb to be quiz questions

She ___ a teacher. (present simple of be)is. The subject she is singular third person, so it takes is.

They ___ at school yesterday. (past simple of be)were. The plural subject they takes were in the past tense.

I ___ from Brazil. (present simple of be)am. The subject I is the only pronoun that takes am.

True or false: 'He are my brother.'False. With he, the correct form is is, so the sentence should read He is my brother.

Choose the correct form: The books ___ on the desk. (is / are)are. The plural subject books takes are, not is.

Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. The quiz uses the sentences and examples from your class, so practice matches what you are studying.

Three question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions. Mix them to check whether learners can pick the right form and explain why it fits.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson about subject agreement and tense rather than just a red mark.

How it works

Upload your notes or slides

Add the worksheet, lesson notes or slides that cover am, is, are, was and were. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.

Choose question types and count

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want. Generate the quiz in one step.

Practice and review

Take the quiz in the browser, read the explanations for missed items, and study again. Paid plans can export the quiz as PDF or DOCX.

Most errors with be come from subject agreement, such as using is with they or was with you. Each question comes with an explanation that names the rule, so learners see why the correct form fits the subject and tense.

You can keep the quiz for yourself or share it with a class. Exports to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are available on paid plans.

Use am with I, is with he, she and it, and are with you, we and they. In the past tense, was goes with I, he, she and it, while were goes with you, we and they.
