Y6 Grammar Punctuation and Spelling
Past Tense Lesson
This Past Tense lesson covers the prior learning of recognising the simple past and past progressive tenses before moving onto the main skill of recognising the simple past, past progressive and past perfect tenses.
The lesson starts with a prior learning activity to check pupils’ understanding. If they need more practice, you can choose other resources for that step. The interactive lesson slides recap the prior learning before moving on to the main skill. Children can then practise further by completing the activities and can extend their learning with engaging reasoning and application tasks.
