Verbs -ing and -ed

We add the suffixes -ed and -ing to change the tense of words (-ing for present tense and -ed for the past) eg. if the base verb is bake, the present tense is baking and the past tense is baked.

 

Bake me a cake

I am baking a cake

I baked a cake yesterday

 

Sometimes the root word needs to be changed e.g. removing the e in bake before adding the ending -ing or -ed.

Look at the Verb Vikings activities.  There are some teaching and demonstration activities and then some games to play.
