Verb Tenses: Past, Present, and Future
Verb Tenses: Past, Present, and Future
When studying verb tenses, discuss what each version of the verb means. Talk about what other clues in the sentence help support the verb tense. Ask your child if the sentence happened in the past, is it happening right now in the present, or is it happening in the future. Be sure to give your child adequate amounts of practice, and support them as they use correct tenses in their own writing.
