Welcome to the Verbs – Tenses module!
Tenses are an essential part of grammar that help us communicate clearly about time. In this lesson, we will explore the three main verb tenses: past, present, and future. You will learn how to identify and use each tense correctly in different types of sentences. Whether you're telling a story, describing your daily routine, or making plans, understanding verb tenses will help you speak and write with confidence and accuracy.
Get ready to sharpen your grammar skills and take a step closer to mastering the use of verbs in different tenses. Let’s begin.
By the end of the lesson, the student should be able to;
A) Differentiate present, past and future tenses in sentences.
B) Construct sentences using present, past and future tenses.
This short pre-quiz helps assess your current understanding of verb tenses. Read each sentence carefully and identify which one uses the correct verb tense to express the intended time. This will give your facilitator an idea of what you already know and where support may be needed.
In this activity, learners will practice identifying and using the correct future tense forms of verbs in context. The exercise is designed to reinforce understanding of how verb tense changes based on time indicators and sentence structure. By completing the sentences with the appropriate future tense, students will enhance their ability to express future actions accurately and confidently.
In this activity, learners will apply their understanding of the past simple tense by choosing the correct form of the verb in each sentence. This practice helps reinforce the correct use of past tense verbs in different everyday contexts.
In this extended activity, learners will demonstrate their understanding of verb tense usage. They will complete a short passage using the correct past forms of the verb to be ("was" or "were") and then correct tense errors in a set of sentences. This activity reinforces attention to detail and ensures learners can identify and apply correct verb forms in realistic contexts.
This self-assessment activity allows you to reflect on your understanding of verb tenses. With guidance from your facilitator, evaluate your ability to identify and use present, past, and future tenses correctly. If you find yourself selecting “with difficulty” or “unable to perform task,” it is recommended that you revisit the lesson content for further practice and clarity.
