Use past tense verbs

Today we will learn how to use past tense verbs. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.

Verbs are action words or words that show a state of being. Action verbs tell us what someone or something is doing: run, jump, write, think. Being verbs tell us what something is: am, is, are, was, were. Every sentence needs a verb! For example: "The dog runs" (action) or "The dog is happy" (being).

Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!

Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
