Great Study Guide for ELA


The
tense of a verb shows when something happens. Verbs in the present tense show action that happens now. Some present tense singular verbs end with -s or -es. Most present tense plural verbs do not end with -s or -es.                      
                       An inventor creates a new tool. Inventions serve us well.
Verbs in the
past tense show action that has already happened. Most verbs in the past tense end in -ed.
                       Not long ago, electronics changed the world.
Verbs in the
future tense show action that will happen. Add will (or shall ) to most verbs to show the future tense.
                       Many more inventions will appear.
• Some regular verbs change spelling when
-ed is added. For verbs ending in e, drop the e and add -ed: used, celebrated. For verbs ending in a consonant and y, change the y to i and add -ed: spied, lied.
• For most one-syllable verbs that end in one vowel followed by one consonant, double the consonant and add
-ed: wrapped, patted.
• Irregular verbs change spelling to form the past tense:
are/were, bring/brought, eat/ate, find/found, fly/flew, go/went, have/had, is/was, make/made, see/saw, sit/sat, take/took, tell/told, think/thought, write/wrote.
