Past to Present Cards
Use these handy cards to help your students become familiar with the tense of various commonly used verbs.
Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise that capital letters signal proper nouns and commas are used to separate items in lists.
- We are learning that verbs are doing, thinking, saying and relating words and that time is represented through verb tense, e.g. she arrived, she is arriving.
- We are learning to understand past, present and future tenses and their impact on meaning in a sentence, e.g. informative texts are usually written in present tense.
