Lesson video

Hello.

My name is Mr. Byrne Smith.

And today I'll be teaching you spelling.

Now I'm very excited about this because I love spelling.

Now you might be thinking that's a bit strange.

Not many people say they love spelling, but I do.

And I'll explain why.

Spelling is all about words and I love words.

I think words are the best.

Words help you understand each other that little bit better and they help you read books and reading books helps you understand the world better.

And that is why I love spelling.

Today, we're going to be learning how to add the ed suffix to the present tense verbs into the past tense.

And I can't wait.

I hope you're looking forward to it too.

We're going to have lots of fun.

Here's the agenda for today's lesson.

This explain what we're going to do and in what order.

Firstly, we're going to discuss some key vocabulary.

Then we're going to investigate and generate some rules.

And finally, we're going to set some spelling words, which we'll use to practise everything we learn today.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, a pencil, and finally and perhaps most importantly your brain.

So don't you forget that.

If you need a few minutes to go and find these things, pause the video now.

First let's chat through some key vocabulary.

The first word is suffix.

My turn, your turn, suffix, suffix.

The suffix is a group of letters at the end of a word that change its meaning.

Verb, verb.

A verb is a doing or a being word.

Past tense, past tense.

This refers to things in the past.

Things that have happened previously.

Present tense, present tense.

This refers to things in the present, things that are happening now.

There are three verbs on the page.

I'd like you to see if you can identify what the three verbs have in common.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Great.

They all end the ed, well spotted.

We have visited, jumped and walked.

Today, we are going to be investigating the suffix ed.

This is a suffix used to put present tense verbs into the past tense.

Ed.

Time for our first challenge.

In each row, there are three verbs.

The three verbs on the top row are present tense verbs.

Your job is to match them with the past tense verbs on the bottom row.

We have talk, drop and cry.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Okay, great.

Talk becomes talked, drop becomes dropped and cry becomes cried.

And you will have noticed that these all make use of the ed suffix.

The ed suffix is the simplest and most common way of putting present tense verbs into the past tense.

I must admit I made this activity quite easy for you because of the colours.

They all match in colour.

Let's make it a little bit harder.

Same task, no colours.

Bake, trip and rain.

Pause the video now and have a go.

Okay, great.

Bake becomes baked, trip becomes tripped and rain becomes rained.

And once again, they all make use of the ed suffix.

I told you it's common.

When it comes to adding the ed suffix, there are four rules and here they are.

Firstly, we have just add ed.

Sometimes it only necessary to add ed straight onto the end of the present tense verb.

You are not to change it at all.

Double the consonant and add ed.

In some instances, it's first necessary to double the consonant at the end of the present tense verb before adding ed.

Remove the e and add ed.

Some present tense verbs end in e, before we can add the ed past tense suffix, we must remove the e.

Remove the y add i and add ed.

Some present tense verbs end in y.

Before we can add the ed suffix to put them into the past tense, we must remove the y add i and add ed.

Let's see some of these rules in action.

Rule number one.

Have a look at these verbs.

I've put each of these present tense verbs into the past tense.

And I've done it using the ed suffix.

Has the present tense verb, changed at all? Pause the video and have a think.

You'll have noticed that the present tense verb has not had to change before I added the ed past tense suffix.

In these instances, I've just had to add the ed suffix to the verb to form the past tense.

Let's have a go ourselves.

We have three new verbs.

We have to train, bowl and dash.

Your job is to add the ed suffix to each of these in order to put it into the past tense.

In order to do this, I like to write down the present tense, and then the past tense.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Train becomes trained.

Bowl becomes bowled.

Dash becomes dashed.

Great.

Rule number two.

Once again, after each of these present tense verbs into the past tense.

Has the present tense verb had to change a tool before I've done this? Pause the video and have a think.

Yes, the present tense verb has had to change before I've added the ed past tense suffix.

In this instance, if the vowel sound is short, you must double the consonant before adding ed and you can see that what I've done in each of these instances.

Flip has become flipped with the double p, hop has become hopped with a double p and tap has become tapped with a double p.

Now these rule refers to vowel sound.

If the vowel sound is short, double the consonant and add ed.

Well let's see if we can hear these short vowel sounds.

Flip, I, I, I.

Yeah, that's a short vowel sound definitely.

Hop, o, o, o.

Definitely short.

And tap a, a, a.

That's a short vowel sound.

Let's see if we can have a go ourselves.

Once again, here are three present tense verbs.

Your job is to use this rule to put them into the past tense.

We have dip, we have rip and we have grin.

Pause the video now and have a go.

Great.

Dip becomes dipped, as the double p.

Rip becomes ripped and grin becomes grinned.

Rule number three.

Once again, I've put these present tense verbs into the past tense.

Let's see how I've done this.

Pause the video and have a think.

Have the present tense verbs have to change? Okay, great.

Before adding the ed suffix, I've have to remove the e at the end of each of these present tense verbs.

Hope has become hoped, fade has become faded and rate has become rated.

And if you look carefully, I removed the e before adding the ed suffix.

If the verb ends in e remove the e and add ed.

Let's have a go ourselves.

Three new verbs change, love, use.

I'd like you to have a go at putting these into the past tense.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Great.

Change has become changed, love has become loved use has become used.

If the verb ends in e remove the e and add ed.

Rule number four.

Once again, three present tense verbs.

The question is what have I had to do to each of these present tense verbs before adding the ed suffix.

We have try, cry and rely.

Pause the video and have a think.

Okay.

Try has become tried, cry has become cried, rely has become relied, but those present tense verbs have had to change.

If the verb ends in y, remove the y, replace it with an I and add ed.

Let's have a go ourselves.

Three new verbs spy, study and marry.

Our job is to put these present tense verbs into the past tense using the ed suffix but remember if the verb ends in y remove the y, replace it with an I and then add ed.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Okay, great.

Spy has become spied, study has become studied, and marry has become married.

We're going to have another challenge.

This is called, which rule should we use? You can see I've given you a verb, a present tense verb.

It's tape.

The question is in order to put this verb into the past tense, which rule must we apply? I'm going to have a careful think.

I'm going to look at the rules, and I'm going to look at my word very carefully before applying any of them.

I'd like you to pause the video, have a think about which of these four rules applies, and then have a go at putting it into the past tense using of course our ed suffix.

Pause the video and have a go now.

Okay, great.

We need to make use of this rule.

The present tense verb tape, ends in e and therefore, before we add the ed suffix, we must remove the e.

Let's see what that looks like.

There it is.

Tape becomes taped.

Let's have another go.

In this instance, the present tense verb is dart.

Pause the video and have a go now.

The rule we need to apply is, this one.

Just add ed.

And let's see how we might do that.

Dart becomes darted.

Let's have another go.

The new verb is try.

So let's have a careful think.

Which of our rules applies and how do we apply it? Pause the video and have a go now.

The rule we need to apply is, this one.

The present tense of try ends in a y.

And therefore, before adding the ed suffix, we must remove the y add an I and add ed.

Try becomes tried.

Last one.

Our new verb is pat.

Have a careful think, which of these four rules do you think applies? Pause the video and have a go.

Okay, great.

The verb pat has a short vowel sound in it, a.

Therefore we must double the consonant before adding ed and that's our rule.

Pat becomes patted.

These are the spelling words for this week.

Each of these words makes use of the ed past tense suffix and they all make use of one of the four rules we learned today.

The first is darted.

My turn, your turn.

Darted.

The fish darted along the ocean floor.

Yelled.

The young boy yelled out to his father.

Dashed.

The two girls dashed across the playground in search of the best bull.

Begged.

The children begged their parents for more time to play.

Wrapped.

The couple wrapped their arms around each other in joy.

Hang on a second.

There's something interesting about this word.

This version of the word wrapped begins with a w.

Which is very tricky.

And has to be specific meaning different to the word rapped without a w.

Rap is a type of music.

And to rap is a type of singing.

The past tense version of that is rapped without the w.

Wrapped with the w refers to covering something completely or enveloping something.

And that's the version we're looking at today.

The couple wrapped their arms around each other.

Grabbed.

The boy, grabbed the pencil out of her hand and threw it to the ground.

Gazed.

The children gazed out to the window at the kids playing in the playground.

Chased.

The predator chased it's prey.

Worried.

He worried his dad when he went out without a coat.

Cried.

The helpless animal cried out.

Okay.

I like to carefully write down each of these spellings.

Make sure you don't make a mistake now, because if you make a mistake now, then you're going to practise the wrong spelling of the word.

So be very careful.

Pause the video and have a go.

Congratulations.

Fantastic.

That's the lesson over.

Let's have a look at what we've done.

We have discussed some key vocabulary.

It's investigating it and generated to rules and we set some spelling words.

Now it's really important that you practise these words little and often over the next week or so.

That's the most effective way to learn and to pick up new things.

Well done.

That's the lesson over.

I've had lots of fun.

I hope you have too.

And I can't wait for the next lesson.
