Spelling

Today we are going to continue looking at the present tense. To show that the verb is happening now, we need to add the suffix -ing.

Here are some examples:

jumping

climbing

flying

going

Just like when we looked at the past tense adding -ed, there are some verbs that need you to add a double consonant before the suffix.

These words have only one syllable, end in a consonant and have a vowel before the consonant. In these words, we must double the consonant before adding -ing.

Here are some examples:

running

popping

humming

skipping

Read the powerpoint attached and write your own sentences using some of the words below:

clapping

grabbing

stopping

tapping

tripping

planning

Today we are going to be looking at another feature of instructions- imperative verbs. Imperative verbs are verbs we use to be bossy. For example:

Sit on the chair.

Mix up the ingredients.

Chop the banana.

Instructions need imperative verbs to tell the reader exactly what to do!
