Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students form and use verbs that show actions in the past, present, and future. They match verb forms to time clues such as yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students choose a verb tense that matches when an action happens. They correctly write regular forms such as walked and irregular forms such as went.
Common Misconceptions: Students may use a time word with the wrong verb form, such as “Yesterday I walk.” They may also overapply -ed and write forms such as “goed” or “runned.”
How to Assess It: Give students this exit ticket: “Write one sentence about yesterday, one about today, and one about tomorrow. Underline each verb.”

Lesson moves

Give pairs verb cards and time labels, then have them sort each verb under past, present, or future.
Ask students to write three sentences about eating breakfast yesterday, today, and tomorrow, then explain how each verb changes.
Play tense charades: one student acts out a verb, and classmates say it in past, present, and future forms.
Use a class calendar to describe something students did yesterday, do today, and will do tomorrow.
