Today I am practising: maintaining past tense in a short recount

1

Change to yesterday: I walk to the park.

2

Change to yesterday: We play a game.

3

Choose the past-tense verb: Yesterday I jump / jumped over a puddle.

4

Fix the tense change: Yesterday we planted seeds and water them.

5

Write one sentence about something you did yesterday.

Circle the action word in your sentence. Explain how it shows the event already happened.

Grown-up guide
  1. Model regular past-tense endings in speech before writing.
  2. Read the time word yesterday aloud when checking a sentence.
  3. Accept a dictated sentence if handwriting distracts from tense.
