Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Match a verb to a singular or plural subject, choosing correctly between was and were and between has and have
Recognise that a subject such as socks, clothes, the hens or the boys takes a plural verb
Select the right verb form for a third-person singular subject, as in "Caroline brushes her dog"
Form the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs - sat, won, drank - rather than adding -ed
Pick the correctly written sentence from three near-identical alternatives

Teaching tips

Flag the change of task partway through: the first twelve items work on subject-verb agreement, while questions 13 to 15 switch to irregular past tense
Project one item at a time - each slide holds a single sentence and three options, which suits hands-up, mini-whiteboard or think-pair-share responses
Group questions 2, 5 and 7 for reteaching if a class keeps choosing the singular form: socks, hens and clothes are all plural subjects in a row
Model question 6, "There ___ a big wave", before independent work - it is the one item where the subject sits after the verb
The answer sheet is a fillable slide, so responses can be typed on a shared device or the sheet printed and completed by hand, with the remarks box used for feedback

Skills covered

Subject-verb agreement - students choose between was, were and is, or has, have and having, for singular and plural subjects across the first twelve items.
Plural subject recognition - items built on socks, clothes, the hens and the boys require students to spot the plural before choosing the verb.
Third-person singular verb endings - "Caroline ___ her dog after every walk" sets brushes against brush and brushing.
Irregular past-tense formation - closing items contrast sat with sit and sitted, won with win and wonned, and drank with drinked and dranked.
Independent answer recording - a Q.1 to Q.15 grid with a Name line collects all fifteen responses on a single sheet.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do all fifteen items work on subject-verb agreement?

The first twelve do, using was, were and is or has, have and having with singular and plural subjects. Questions 13 to 15 move on to irregular past tense - choosing sat over sit and sitted, won over win and wonned, and naming the past tense of drink.

Which items are most likely to catch students out?

The ones where the subject is plural or does not sit directly before the verb. Socks, clothes, the hens and the boys all need a plural verb where a class often defaults to was or has, and "There ___ a big wave" places the subject after the verb entirely.

How do students record their responses?

On a fillable sheet at the end of the deck. It is laid out as a Q.1 to Q.15 grid in two columns with a Name line at the top and a Teacher remarks/notes panel down the side.
