Tenses
See Lesson Ideas for this topicThough there are many different verb tenses, your children should be familiar with the past, present, and future tenses. Explain that there are general rules that govern writing verbs in the past, present, and future tenses, but that there are many, many exceptions to these rules. Encourage your children to find exceptions and describe how they are different. The best way for children to learn irregular verbs is to read and expose themselves to different kinds of writing.
