Verbs. What is a verb?

• A verb is a word which describes the action in a
  sentence (the doing word)
• Examples

pig
jump
One way to check if a word is a verb is to see if
it can be changed

Changing verbs. Verb Tenses

• Verb tenses describe WHEN the action is
  happening.
• PRESENT (its happening NOW.)
• PAST (its ALREADY happened.)
• FUTURE (its ABOUT to happen.)

5
Present tense to past tense

• The following sentences are written in the
  present tense. Try changing them to the past
  tense by putting Yesterday at the beginning of
  each.
• I walk to school.
• They jump the rope.
• Bob looks at the bug.
• I play football.

How have the verbs changed?

My day

• Last weekend I goed to my friends house. First,
  I runned up to the door and ringed the bell no
  answer. I writed a note and readed it back to

  our bikes. Later we goed to the shops and buyed
  some sweets. Mike, my friend, eated half of his
  then putted the rest in his bag. Im not like him
  I eated all mine in one go!

It is important that we learn irregular verbs so
that we use STANDARD ENGLISH.

pattern of regular verbs, there are some patterns
to discover with irregular verbs. Can you spot
any here?
