Four pages of past tense verbs that do not take ed. On two pages each sentence starts with Yesterday and has the verb in a box, and children write its past tense: Yesterday the seal swam in the sea. On two pages children circle the right past tense from two choices, the real one and the one ed would make, such as swam or swimmed.
Keep a chart of verbs that change in the past and say them as pairs: swim, swam; run, ran; fly, flew. Read each sentence aloud with both choices and ask which one children have heard.
Tell each other what you did yesterday, and listen for the verbs that do not take ed: I ate, I ran, I saw.
Past tense verbs that break the rules: swim, swam; dig, dug; fly, flew. Children write the past tense of the verb in each sentence, then circle the right past tense from two choices.
