VERb (A verb is a word that tells you what someone or something is doing or what is happening, e.g. whispered, looked, pounded, shone, froze.) Let’s take the verb ‘pound’. If we talk about something that happened in the past, we add the suffix -ed to show it is past tense. What tense is ‘pound’ in the focus word list? (past tense) It’s past tense because it adds -ed. Circle all the words in the focus word list that end in -ed
When a verb ends in a consonant that makes a soft sound or voiceless consonant - a soft sound or voiceless consonant like ‘k’, ‘ sh ’, ‘p’, ‘f’, the -ed sounds like ‘t’ as in ‘looked’. When a verb ends in a vowel sound like ‘ er ’, or a consonant that makes a loud sound or voiced consonant - a consonant that makes a loud sound or voiced consonant like ‘b’, ‘g’, ‘v’, the -ed sounds like ‘d’ as in ‘whispered’. When a verb ends in ‘d’ or ‘t’, the -ed sounds like -ed as in ‘pounded’.
What other verbs can you find in the focus word list?
‘shone’ and ‘froze’ belong to the group of irregular verbs. They are called irregular because they do not add the suffix -ed. They have different forms for the past simple tense. Do you know what the present tense forms of ‘shone’ and ‘froze’ are?
