Let your children ease into their lesson on how we use tenses and let them complete this Year 4 Present Tense Prior Learning activity. The questions in this resource are based on an objective from a previous year group that looks at showing an understanding of different types of verbs. It links nicely to the main learning, in this lesson so that children feel prepared. The resource includes three varied fluency questions, one reasoning question and two application questions.

Use this to start your lesson to help you get a good understanding of what children already know and where they might need additional support or challenge. This could also be completed the day before, as homework or in a small intervention group; the choice is yours. Speed through your marking with an easy-to-follow answer page too.
