Lesson video

Hello and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss.

I love spelling and I'm really looking forward to teaching you.

For today's lesson, you need to bring me your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as that, something to write with and write on, and someone or something to talk to you will be brilliant as well.

Let's get on with today's learning.

In today's lesson, we're going to be adding the -es suffix to verbs ending in y.

The outcome will be, I can add the suffix -es to verbs that end in y.

Here are the keyword for today's lesson.

My turn, your turn.

Verb.

Suffix.

A verb is a doing or a being word.

If you do it or you are it, then the word is a verb.

Some examples of verbs include walk, run, fly.

And today we're going to be looking at verbs that end in a y, and we're going to be changing the end of these words by adding a suffix.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters that we add to the end of a word to create a new word.

Here's the outline for today's lesson.

We're adding -es suffix to verbs ending in y, We're gonna look at this first and then we're going to apply some spellings within a sentence, as well as looking at some common exception words.

Let's get on with adding -es to verbs ending in y.

First of all, let's have a think about what a verb is then.

A verb is a doing or a being word.

A verb can tell us what someone or something is doing.

Verbs have to agree with the noun they are paired with.

That means they make sense together.

Let's look at some examples.

The man walks to the shop.

Walks here is my verb, man is my noun.

It makes sense for someone to walk to the shops, doesn't it? So man here is my noun.

A boat sails out to sea.

Sails here is my verb.

It makes sense for a boat to sail out to the sea.

This verb works with my noun boat.

And finally, the girl climbs up a tree.

Why don't you pause the video now? I'm gonna say this sentence one more time.

The girl climbs up a tree.

Can you please point out the verb and the noun, the person who's doing this in the sentence? Pause the video now.

Brilliant.

Absolutely.

The word climbs here is my verb.

And girl, she's my noun who's doing the climbing.

It makes sense.

I wouldn't wanna say the girl walks up a tree.

I wouldn't wanna say the girl sails up a tree.

Walks and sails are both verbs, but they wouldn't work.

They wouldn't be a good pairing with my noun for this context.

So, what is a verb? a is a word that describes the noun, b, a doing or a being word, or c, a naming word for people, paces, or things.

Pause the video and select the correct answer now.

What is a verb? Fantastic.

A word that describes a noun is not a verb, it's an adjective.

A doing or being word like run, walk, climb, sail.

Yes, that is what a verb is.

And the last word, a naming word for people, places, or things is a noun.

Now, nouns and verbs can be paired together, but a verb is a doing or a being word.

If you do it or you are it, then the word is a verb.

Have a look here for me.

Which verb would agree with the noun in this sentence? The fish mm in the sea.

And we have four verbs for you to read here.

Walks, hops, swims, runs.

Which verb would work here with this noun in this context? Pause the video and say the sentence with the correct verb now.

Great job.

So they're all verbs, aren't they? But which one's gonna make sense to go with our fish to be paired with our fish? Well, fish don't walk, do they? They don't really hop either, and they don't run.

I think it has to be swims. The fish swims in the sea.

So swims is the correct verb that I was looking for there.

See how you did.

The spelling of a verb changes depending on the nom that it's agreeing with.

Sometimes we can add an s or an -es to the end of a verb.

These act as suffixes.

I run home can become she runs home.

In my first sentence, my noun is I.

In my second sentence, this is she.

And because of this, we wouldn't say she run home.

We have to then add our suffix s.

She runs home to make the sentence make sense.

I wash my face.

I is my noun here.

Wash is my verb.

He washes his face.

He is now my noun and washes is my verb.

And I've added -es to the end of that verb wash as a suffix.

I carry my bag.

I here is my noun.

She carries her bag.

She is now my noun.

And instead of the verb carry, I now have carries.

I've changed that carry into carries by adding a -es suffix.

So remember, verbs can change dependent upon the noun that they are paired with.

We can sometimes add an s or an -es as a suffix where necessary.

True or false, verbs agree with the noun they are paired with? Pause the video and select the correct answer.

Good job.

Absolutely, it is true.

Verbs have to be paired with the nouns, and they have to make sense together, remember.

Let's look at some examples of verbs there then when we have to add our suffix s or -es at the end.

The verbs we are going to look at right now all end in a y, and the y changes in a particular way when it comes to us adding this -es suffix.

I cry.

He cries.

Notice here my y is no longer in the word cries.

I've replaced that y with an i and then I've added that -es suffix.

I study.

My noun here is I.

My verb is study.

She studies.

She's now my noun.

Studies is my verb.

Because I've used to add that -es suffix onto the end, I've replaced my y with an I and then added that suffix.

I worry.

Pause the video now.

Talk to someone around you or have a think.

How do you think I'm going to spell the word worries if I add that -es suffix onto the end? Pause the video and have a think now.

Good job.

He worries.

So now my noun is he, and worries has that -es suffix.

And because the root word worry had a y, I need to get rid of that y and add an I before adding my -es suffix.

so the y becomes an i.

Before we add the suffix -es.

Let's have a look at some examples here.

There's three sentences for us to read, and I'd like you to select the correct spelling of the verb in each.

Let's read them first.

This type of bird flies south for the winter.

If he wakes up late, he hurries to get dressed.

She spies three people in the playground.

Pause the video and select the correct spelling of the verbs now.

Good job.

Let's see how you did them.

This type of bird flies.

The root word fly ends in that y, I fly.

Bird flies, not bird fly, bird flies.

So we get rid of that y and add -ies.

If he wakes up late, he hurries.

Okay, I hurry.

He hurries.

Remember that verb has to match the noun.

I wouldn't say he hurry, he hurries.

And that root word ends in a y, so I get rid of that y, add an i, and then my -es.

She spies.

I spy.

She spies.

I wouldn't say she spy.

And again, we've gotta get rid of that y and add our -ies.

Pause the video and see how you did.

So we're gonna have a look at some words now.

I'd like you to adapt these verbs by adding the suffix -es.

And let's have a look at the verbs we're looking at.

Study.

Study.

And if you study, it means you are working hard with your learning.

You might study to learn something.

Try.

I try.

Cry and worry.

I'd like you to, for these verbs that end in a y, add that -es suffix.

Remember our rule.

We're turning into he studies, she tries, she cries, he worries.

Pause the video, add that -es suffix now.

Off you go.

Great job, everyone.

So some brilliant handwriting.

Some really careful application of the rules that we've been looking at today.

So the first word was study as in I study.

We're turning this into studies.

I've seen it written in this way.

Studies and studies.

Remember, this verb ends in a y, and we're adding that -es, we get rid of that y, and make it -ies.

Try, tries.

Hmm.

Now, let's think about that middle one.

That doesn't look right at all, does it? I don't think my root word would change like that.

And I have my i and my e the wrong way around there, don't I? So I'm going to get rid of that y, add an i, and then -es.

So it's that -ies.

So the correct spelling is this one here.

It's the same with cries.

Let's have a look.

We're not gonna have -yes, 'cause that's not our rule, is it? It's get rid of the y, add an y, and then an -es.

So the last one here is the correct spelling, and worry as in worries.

He worries, she worries.

Here we go.

Again, the root verb there had that y.

I need to get rid of that y, add that -ies.

So this is my correct spelling.

Great job, everyone.

Pause the video now and make any corrections, and share any achievements in your spelling there.

Off you go.

But now we're gonna have a go in our final learning cycle at applying some of the spellings that we've been looking at.

First of all, we're gonna have a look at a couple of common exception words.

Common exception words are those words that don't follow our regular phonics patterns.

The words we are going to be looking at are school and every.

Let's think about these two words.

My turn, your turn.

School.

My turn, your turn, every.

What's difficult to spelling these words? How do you remember how to spell them? Pause the video, have a go at saying them, and think what makes some common exception words.

Off you go.

Great, some lovely conversations going on there.

So in school, I think it's that h there that's a little bit problematic, 'cause it looks like to make a chuh sound, doesn't it? But that -ch there makes a hard kuh, kuh sound.

School.

It doesn't go chool, school.

In every, it's the fact that we don't necessarily really emphasise that second e.

I don't go every, I say every, so it sounds like it's not there.

So in h, sorry, in school, there's a naughty h.

And in every there's a naughty e that you can't hear.

So watch out for these naughty letters.

Choose the correct spelling of the word school.

Point to it now.

Pause the video.

Great job.

Absolutely, it is b, that naughty h there.

We are going to have a go at writing a sentence containing some of our focus spellings and some common exception words that we've looked at.

When we write the whole sentence, we need to do several things at once.

So let's really take our time, perhaps even have a brain break before we get into this.

We need to remember the whole sentence, we need to also form our letters correctly.

We need to sound out each word.

We need to look out for common exception words, and we also need to remember sentence punctuation.

So let's really take our time with this.

And by sentence punctuation, I mean things like capture letters, full stops, and any other punctuation you think the sentence might have.

So just listen to me say the sentence first of all.

She hurries to school and worries that she will be late every day.

So if you're hurrying somewhere, you're going somewhere in a rush.

She hurries to school and worries that she will be late every day.

So we can use some strategies to help us remember this sentence.

I'll have a go and then you'll have a go.

We're gonna clap it out first.

This really helps us to hear different syllables and sounds in each words.

We make sure we don't miss out a sound.

She hurries to school and worries she will be late every day.

She hurries to school and worries she will be late every day.

Pause the video and clap that sentence out now.

Good job.

The next one is whispering it.

She hurries to school and worries she will be late every day.

Pause the video and whisper it now to yourself or to someone around you.

Great, I could barely hear you, but I'm sure you were saying it.

And finally, we're gonna count the words on our fingers to make sure we don't miss any words.

She hurries to school and worries she will be late every day.

She hurries to school and worries she will be late every day.

I make that 12.

Pause the video and count that sentence out on your fingers now.

Off you go.

Great work, everyone.

So I'm gonna say the sentence in a moment and you are gonna have a good writing it.

Please remember to sound out those words.

Look out for any common exception words, those words that don't follow our regular phonics patterns.

And also remember capital letter, full stop, sentence punctuation.

She hurries to school and worries that she will be late every day.

Pause the video and write that sentence now.

Great job, everyone.

Amazing handwriting.

Really good use of the rule that we've been looking at today, which is adding that -es suffix onto verbs ending in y.

Let's check your work and make any corrections now.

She needs to have a capital letter, hurries.

So we've got that verb, the verb hurry, which we made hurries here, haven't we? Because our noun is she.

We wouldn't say she hurry, she hurries.

Hurry would normally end in a y.

That root word.

So we've gotten rid of that y, added the i and then the -es.

To school.

Oh, that was one of those common exception words.

Remember that naughty h in it.

And worries.

Still, this is with our noun she, isn't it? I'm not gonna say she worry, we're gonna say she worries.

So we get rid of that y, -ies.

That she will be late every.

Remember, we don't necessarily really emphasise that second e, every, say every day.

And we need to have a full stop.

See how you did.

We had the verbs hurries and worries there that follows our rule of adding the -es suffix onto the end.

And we had those common exception words school and every.

Share with your classmates, or with whoever's around you, what you've done really well there.

And also any magical mistakes.

Take the opportunity to share the learning and make any corrections now.

Pause the video.

Brilliant spelling today, everyone.

Today, we've been adding that -es suffix to verbs ending in y.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.

Verbs agree with the noun they are paired with.

Remember this, it's very important.

the y is changed to i before the suffix -es is added in verbs ending in y.

Keep up the amazing spelling and I'll see you again soon.
