1 Verbs - which tense? Learning objective We are learning to choose and use the correct tense in our writing. What pupils already know Pupils should already know what a verb is and also know the terms present tense and past tense. They should already be familiar with and using the progressive present tense (e.g. I am standing ) and progressive past tense (e.g. I was shouting ) in their writing. Key vocabulary verb, tense, present tense, past tense, future tense, present perfect tense Teaching notes Remind pupils that a verb is a doing word, using verbs that they are familiar with and that you can model in the classroom: for example sit (I am sitting at my desk), open (Sally opens a book), look (Jamil looked at me). Now show how some verbs change with different tenses: present tense: look (it is happening now) past tense: looked (we add ed to show this happened in the past) future tense: will look ( will shows that it is going to happen in the future) Ask pupils to make present, past and future sentences with the verb play. Introduce the present perfect tense. Example 1: Underline the verb in the sentence. Jamil has gone to the shops. The verb is has gone. It is in the present perfect tense. We use this tense to show something that began in the past and was completed in the present. To make this tense we must use the present tense of the verb have. Example 2: Underline the verb in the sentence. I have waited for two hours. Ask pupils to identify the verb ( have waited ) and to name the tense correctly. Establish the difference in meaning between I have waited (action completed in the present I am still waiting) and I waited (action completed in the past I am no longer waiting). Independent activity Refer pupils to the Year 3 Grammar and Punctuation Pupil Book, pages
2 Verbs - which tense? Use and apply Task A: Which tense? This is a game for 2 players. One player is X and one player is O Use the table below. talked chase played sing will forget came have stood will meet has remembered laughed grow arrived has taken talked will see know Take it in turns to choose a verb from the table and make a sentence from it. If the sentence is correct, the player wins the square and marks it with X or O. When a player wins four X or O in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally, they win the game. Task B: Tense Copy the table below. Work out the tense for each of the following sentences. Tense Sentence The boys played football. Sheila buys sweets. They will arrive soon. The tree has fallen over. Task C: Break the code You need: a Break the code table Decide which sentences use the correct tense. Unscramble the letters at the end of the correct sentences to find the hidden grammar term. You will only need to use the letters at the end of the correct sentences, so you will have some letters left over. Has Sammy gone out? T Jason will starts school in September. L We had tea at Charley s house. E Kylie like watching movies. A Will we eat pasta for supper? N You are good at spelling. S They has lost the match. B Our cat likes chasing butterflies. E Hidden grammar term: 21
3 Adverbs Learning objective We are learning to use suitable adverbs correctly to express manner (how), time (when) and place (where). What pupils already know Pupils should already know how to change adjectives into adverbs by adding the suffix ly (e.g. quick quickly). Key vocabulary adverb, verb adverbs of time, then, next, soon, sometimes, adverbs of place, inside, adverbs of manner, quickly Teaching notes Use the example sentences to model how an adverb changes the meaning of the verb it describes. Example 1: She quietly closed the door. Identify the adverb in the sentence: quietly. It describes the verb closed. The adverb quietly tells us how she closed the door. Point out that verbs that tell us how something is done often end in -ly. Ask pupils for more examples of adverbs that end in -ly. Example 2: I will tidy my room tomorrow. Identify the adverb in the sentence: tomorrow. It describes the verb will tidy. The adverb tomorrow tells us when I will tidy my room. Ask pupils to notice that this adverb does not end in ly. Many adverbs that tell us when something is done do not end in ly. Give some more examples, e.g. sometimes, later, yesterday. Example 3: The cat is sleeping under a bush. The adverb in this sentence is under. Under describes the verb is sleeping. This adverb tells us where the cat is sleeping. Explain to pupils that adverbs that describe where something happens are often placed after the verb. Give some more examples, e.g. We ve looked everywhere. I m going outside. Independent activity Refer pupils to the Year 3 Grammar and Punctuation Pupil Book, pages
4 Adverbs Use and apply Task A: Which adverb? Which is the correct adverb in these sentences? a) It was raining heavy / heavily so we couldn t play our match. b) We found your house quite easily / easy. c) Jimmy excitedly / excited opened his presents. d) Stacy plays tennis really good / well. Now write one sentence that uses both of these adverbs: yesterday tonight Task B: Adverb challenge This is a game for 2 players. Take it in turns to choose a sentence from the box below for your partner. The player decides whether the word in CAPITALS is an adverb or not. Players score one point for every right answer. The dog barked NOISILY. I ll meet you OUTSIDE. He was tired, but he swam STRONGLY. We re going to Auntie s house LATER. I ve LOST my phone! Giraffes are the TALLEST animals. Stella JUMPED over the fence. Could you sit THERE, please? We ll be THERE soon. Dad climbed the LADDER carefully. PUT the toys inside the box. The LARGE audience cheered loudly. Task C: Always, sometimes, usually, never This is a game for 2 players. Complete the 8 sentences below using a verb. Write truthfully about yourself, and do not show your partner your answer. a) I always on Saturday mornings. b) Sometimes I at myself in the mirror. c) Usually I in my bedroom. d) On Sunday nights I sometimes. e) I never before 8 pm. f) I always because it s something I really enjoy. g) is something I sometimes forget to do. h) I don t usually but sometimes it s nice for a change. Now take turns to read out the parts you have added to your partner, one after the other. Your partner must guess if the sentence relates to always, sometimes, usually or never. Keep a score of the correct guesses. The player who guesses most answers correctly wins. For sentence f), you could read out walk to school for your partner to guess always. 25
