What's included?
Foundational Year 2 resources for recognising simple past and present tenses, reinforcing core KS1 GPS objectives for verb use. Activities build conceptual understanding of these fundamental tenses and promote reasoning in identifying verb form changes in sentences. This key small step supports mastery of grammar and is vital for meeting national curriculum expectations for basic verb use. The CS Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Scheme provides structured identification practice.
