Folks good at english/grammar PLEASE help - DC is off sick & the teacher said...

[GRUMPYGIRL]

if junior felt well enough he could do some sentences in past & present tense - of course being a goldfish (memory of nano seconds) I have now forgotten the examples I was given He is age 7, year 2.

Are there any free worksheets online I can use?

I have found the primary resources.co.uk site but being an "oldie" I dont know if past/present tense have some funky new name. Actually I went to a really crap school so if it had an "old" name I wouldnt know it LOL

HEEEELP

might be something on here

Or give himsome verb sets and get himtomake up two sentences. So,
going/went
lying/lay
walking/walked

Did she say whether they should be regular verbs?

No she didnt say.

We have had some fun with this though and its given me a list of words to work with.

www.bbc.co.uk/schools/starship/english/blastrocket.shtml

This was DS's hwork tonight (y3). The 6 verbs were teach, talk, fall, jump, eat and (DS helpfully getting book) watch.

He's ill: tell the teacher that and then just talk about tenses in coversation: irrespective of your own schooling, they're pretty self explanatory - past is yesterday, present is today and future is tomorrow. Use real life situations

OK Here it is from an english teacher

1. The dog runs down the hill (present)

The dog ran down the hill (past)

Put the following into past tense

The cat jumps through the window

I am waiting for the train

The man walks across the field

The cow jumps over the moon

If you type in primary resources on google you might get some stuff.
