Today's Lesson
Spelling
Review spelling words to prepare for your test at the end of the week. Choose one of the Printables at the bottom of Spelling Frame to practise this week's words.
Main Activity
Ask your student if they can remember what a verb is. Talk about verbs as ‘doing’ words and that a good way to check if a word is a verb or not is to see if you can place the word ‘to’ before it, for example to run, to jump, to eat.
Explain to your student that verbs have different tenses. I run, I jump, I eat are all examples of the present tense singular. However, we can also write these verbs in the present continuous tense – I am running, I am jumping, I am eating.
Now watch the following video that will allow your student to explore a range of tenses.
Turn to page 32 in your Nelson Grammar Book 3 - Unit 14 Verbs.
