In this lecture, with the help of
workbooks and worksheets, our P.3
students will be able to...
• distinguish between simple present tense
and simple past tense.
• form the past tense by adding ‘ed’ to the
verbs.
• know how to pronounce the past tense of
some regular verbs.
• describe past events using regular verbs.
• recognise the time adverbials such as
yesterday, ago, last week, today and so on.
Our rationale in designing this
presentation:
• We use a calendar to show the present and
the past since it is a text form that students
are familiar with.
• We deliberately omit irregular verbs and
verbs that require the ‘y-ied’ inflection
because it is only the first introducation to
the use of past tense.
• We design a competition to motivate the
students and invite active participation.
Procedures in using this presentation:
• Teacher presents slides (6-15) to revise the use
of present tense. Teacher may allow students to
answer them orally first before showing the
answers.
• Teacher presents the calendar to introuduce the
concept of ‘the past’. Students maybe invited to
click on any pictures that they want to discuss.
• Teahcer shows the pronounciations of the verbs.
• Students invited to take part in the competition
as a practice.
