Verbs - Past Tense (Irregular) 1
This English and Literacy quiz looks at Irregular Past Tense and helps KS1 children recognise the change in certain verbs when writing them in the past tense. This quiz is designed to help children achieve the National Curriculum's requirements that states Year 2 children should write consistently in a specific tense. It will expand knowledge of literacy and the English language.
When we write in the past tense, we need to make sure the verbs (doing words) are also written in that tense. Sometimes, though, the word completely changes: ‘I drink water’ changes to ‘I drank water.’
