Transcript Lesson 21

Ancient Greece
 A verb in past tense describes an action that was
started and completed in the past.
 Many past-tense verbs end in –ed
 Examples:
 Last summer, my family visit Greece. (visited)
 We stay with relatives in Athens.
 On the first evening, my brother and I climb the
Acropolis.
 When a verb ends in a consonant
followed by y, change the y to an I
and add –ed (try/tried)
 When a single syllable verb ends in
one vowel followed by one
consonant (but not w or y), double
the consonant and add –ed
(trip/tripped)
 When a verb ends in an e, drop the e
and add –ed (live/lived,
believe/believed)
 A verb in the future tense describes an action that
will occur in the future.
 To form the future tense, add the helping verb will to
the main verb: We will sail to the island of Crete
tomorrow.
 Examples:
 Tomorrow afternoon, I start my project on Socrates.
 First, I go online for information.
 At six o’clock, my mom take me to the library.
 The verb tense you use often depends on information
in the sentence or paragraph. Look for context clues
that tell you when to use the past, present, or future
tenses.
 Read the passage below and write the correct form of
the verbs and whether they are: present, past, or future
tense next to each word.
 Every year, my mom travel as part of her work. I hate it
when she goes because my dad cook for me. Last year,
mom use her frequent-flyer miles to take me with her to
Greece. I love the food and the big hotel we stay in.
Mom says she take me on another trip next year. Poor
dad cook for himself again!
