Verbs - Past Tense (Adding 'ed')
This quiz helps children learn when to add ‘ed’ to show that a verb has happened in the past. This will help their sentence level, as required in KS1 of the National Curriculum. It follows on from our other quiz, Verbs - Past Tense (Was Were)’, and encourages children to know when to use the past tense. It will expand their knowledge of English and literacy too!
When we write in the past tense, we need to make sure the verbs (doing words) are also written in that tense. This can be achieved by writing ‘ed’ onto the end of the word.
