Wonder Lesson 11: The Deal and Home - Word warm-up: Tenses

In this English teaching resource, students are invited to explore the use of tenses through a word warm-up worksheet. The exercise draws from verbs featured in the book "Wonder" and challenges students to identify both the past and present tense forms of each verb. The task is to fill in a table with the correct tenses, paying special attention to the spelling changes that may occur when a verb shifts from present to past. This activity not only reinforces the understanding of verb tenses but also encourages students to think about the grammatical structure of sentences.

Once the table is completed, students are asked to deepen their understanding by selecting two verb pairs from the list. With these chosen verbs, they then construct sentences to demonstrate their grasp of tense usage—one sentence should be in the past tense and the other in the present tense. This part of the exercise allows students to apply their knowledge in a practical context, ensuring that they can correctly use verbs in different tenses within their writing. It's an engaging way for students to practice and refine their grammar skills, which are essential for effective communication in English.
