Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Select a verb form that agrees with its subject

  • Use time language to distinguish present from past

  • Complete a sentence with an irregular verb form

Teaching tips

  • Ask learners to circle the subject and box any time clue before choosing a form.

  • Reread the finished sentence orally to test whether the verb sounds grammatically complete.

  • Some sentences allow more than one tense without additional context. Accept a grammatically justified answer or provide a time cue.

Skills covered

  • Subject-verb agreement — singular subjects can require the -s form.

  • Verb tense — contextual clues distinguish present actions from past actions.

  • Irregular morphology — ate is recognized as the past form rather than an -ed construction.
