English Worksheets for Class 5 — Free CBSE/NCERT PDFs
Looking for an English worksheet for Class 5?
Class 5 English is the last year before secondary-school grammar arrives in force. This is the year tenses stop being introduced and start being combined — perfect tenses appear, continuous forms are used correctly in narratives, and reported speech makes its first appearance. This page collects every Class 5 English worksheet on WorkbookWala, aligned to the CBSE Class 5 syllabus and the NCERT 'Marigold' textbook. You'll find full-form grammar (nouns and gender, pronouns including reflexive, verbs and all twelve tense forms at introductory level, transitive/intransitive verbs, adjectives with degrees of comparison, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, articles, active and passive voice at basic level, direct and reported speech at basic level, punctuation), vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, homophones, homographs, idioms, phrasal verbs, one-word substitutions), reading comprehension (longer 200–300 word passages with 5–8 questions), and writing tasks (paragraph writing, informal letters, formal letters, simple notice writing, diary entries, picture composition). Every sheet is a focused one or two pages, prints cleanly on A4, and ships with a full answer key. Free forever. Use these worksheets for weekly homework, weekend revision, holiday practice, unit-test prep and end-of-year board-style drills. Class 5 English rewards steady daily practice — 20 minutes a day, five days a week, will do more than a three-hour weekend session ever will. New worksheets are added every week.

How to use these worksheets at home
- Do one grammar sheet and one comprehension sheet each week, not two of the same. English at this stage needs both a rule bank and reading stamina.
- Read the comprehension passage aloud once before answering. At Class 4+ reading speed determines exam scores as much as understanding does.
- For grammar, insist your child writes the full sentence, not just the answer word. Writing full sentences is how CBSE English marking schemes actually award marks.
- Keep a small notebook for new vocabulary from the passages. Ten words a week beats a thousand-word list once a term.
