Week 5 IT 15
Present and Past Tense
Week 5 IT 15
Past and present tense
•This teacher led activity aims to get the children to change the morpheme for present and past tense at
the end of regular verbs.
•The difficulties of this task are:
• that the present tense doesn’t necessarily mean “now” but usually means something that we do often
or regularly;
• that sometimes they take the ‘ed’ out of the past tense, and sometimes they just take the ‘d’ out,
before writing the ‘s’ for the present tense.
• The required verb always appears in one form on each slide,
‘He skates well’.
The child’s task is to write the verb in the other form.
‘Yesterday he……. badly’.
•The next slide is the answer sheet for each child to complete as they watch the IT presentation. These
should be printed and distributed to the children before you start.
• A pencil appears on the initial slides. This is the cue for the children to write their answers.
• A prompt of ‘Why?’ appears. This is the cue for discussion about the correct and incorrect answers. They
then receive feedback on the screen.
• There is also a ‘Week 5 IT 15 Workbook’ for the children to complete. Once it has been checked for
correctness it can be kept by the child as a reference book.
