Past Tense

Dear children,

Can you remember when to use the past tense when we write?

1. Always look out for keywords that tell you when the action or event happened.

e.g. We use past tense when we see:
yesterday, last night, last week, last month, last year, this morning, this afternoon


2. Check for verb groups. 

e.g. [ did not run ]

did already tells us that the action is in the past. We do not need to repeat the past tense, so we write 'run' instead of ran.

e.g. Priya completed her Maths homework but did not complete her English homework last night.



See you tomorrow!
