This week, we’ve been recapping one of our key spelling rules: adding –ed or –ing to change the tense of a verb.
Here’s an example…
| infinitive verb | present tense | past tense |
| to walk | walking | walked |
First, we’d like you to complete this table. Be careful, there may be some irregular ones to catch you out!
| infinitive verb | present tense | past tense |
| to jump | ||
| talking | ||
| to climb | ||
| to pour | poured | |
| running | ||
| to achieve | ||
| explained |
Then, practise these spellings in different ways, check out the ‘super spelling strategies’ on this week’s spelling post (go to the Scholes website, learn more, spelling, Year 3 & 4). Children should practise in preparation for a test on Thursday 22 October 2020.
Fancy a challenge? Use these words in sentences. Or, create silly sentences using as many of them as you can – can you use them all?
