To revise our understanding of verb tenses.
To investigate spelling rules that are used in verb changes.
Verbs. What is a verb?
A verb is a word which describes the action in a sentence (the doing word)
Examples
I play football.
They skip quickly.
We eat spaghetti.
Bob is seven today.
Can you spot the words which are verbs?
sun pink
pigjump
sitcup
happy
One way to check if a word is a verb is to see if it can be changed
Changing verbs. Verb Tenses
Verb tenses describe WHEN the action is happening.
PRESENT (it’s happening NOW.) PAST (it’s ALREADY happened.) FUTURE (it’s ABOUT to happen.)
Present tense to past tense
The following sentences are written in the present tense. Try changing them to the past tense by putting Yesterday at the beginning of each.
I walk to school. They jump the rope. Bob looks at the bug. I play football.
How have the verbs changed?
Which word in each sentence changes?
How did you do?
Yesterday I walked to school. Yesterday they jumped quickly. Yesterday Bob looked at the bug. Yesterday I played football.
Is there a spelling pattern connecting the changes to these verbs?
Most verbs just need ed
walk
jump
look
play
walked
jumped
looked
played
Spot the pattern
Put these sentences into the past. Think how the verbs would alter this time.
She hops over the cracks. The cow skips over the moon. I bat the ball in the garden. You tap on the window.
How did you do?
She hopped over the cracks. The cow skipped over the moon. I batted the ball in the garden. You tapped on the window.
How have these words altered?
What have these words in common?
hop
skip
bat
tap
hopped
skipped
batted
tapped
Similar words. Different rules
tap/ tape
hop/ hope I always tape my favourite TV shows. We hope we win the race.
hope
tape
hoped
taped
Ending in y
I try to make all my letters join. When I hurt myself I cry. For breakfast I fry some eggs. I carry the register to the office.
The y changes to…

try
cry
fry
carry
tried
cried
fried
carried
To investigate spelling rules that are used in verb tense changes.
Match the rule to each set of words. (or Challenge can you write your own rules?)
Think of more examples that use these rules.
Write your own rules for verbs ending in e, in x.

Odd bods. Look at the next sentences. Can you place these in the past? Be careful!

How did you do?

Irregular verbs can be tricky to learn. You might hear people at school using the add ‘ed’ rule to irregular verbs.
My day
Last weekend I goed to my friend’s house. First, I runned up to the door and ringed the bell… no answer. I writed a note and readed it back to myself. Just then, I seed my friend, so we rided our bikes. Later we goed to the shops and buyed some sweets. Mike, my friend, eated half of his then putted the rest in his bag. I’m not like him – I eated all mine in one go!
It is important that we learn irregular verbs so that we use STANDARD ENGLISH.
Though irregular verbs do not follow the + ed pattern of regular verbs, there are some patterns to discover with irregular verbs. Can you spot any here?
blow
meet
feed
grow
throw
blew
met
fed
grew
threw
