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.

With you today, you need to bring your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as something to write with and write on.

And someone or something to talk to would be great as well.

Well, let's get on with today's spelling lesson then.

In today's spelling lesson, we're going to be spelling further words with the suffix -ed.

The outcome will be, I can spell irregular past tense verbs.

Here are our keywords.

My turn, your turn.

Make sure I can hear you saying these back to me.

Suffix.

Verb.

Irregular.

Present tense.

Past tense.

Please keep an eye and an ear out for these words in today's learning as they're going to be really key.

So let's have a little chat about these words then.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters that we add to the end of a word which creates another word.

A verb is a doing or a being word.

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

Irregular means not conforming to a regular or predictable pattern.

The present tense is when the action is happening now.

And the past tense is when the action happened before.

So today we are gonna be taking present tense verbs, or present tense words, and we're going to be either adding a suffix to them to create past tense words.

However, sometimes the root words that we're taking, those present tense verbs, can't just have that -ed suffix added to them.

They will have irregular past tense versions of that verb.

And we're gonna look closely at these today as well.

Here's the outline for today.

We're spelling further words with the suffix -ed, or past tense verbs.

We're gonna look at past tense verbs closely in the first learning cycle.

And then we're gonna practise and apply the spellings and write a sentence in the second part of today's lesson.

Let's get on with looking at some of those past tense verbs then, those doing or being words that have occurred in the past.

So, let's read some words.

Showed.

Needed.

My turn, your turn.

Dried.

Studied.

Closed.

Typed.

Skipped.

Jogged.

What do you notice about all of these words? Pause the video and have a think.

Great.

Absolutely, they all end in our -ed suffix.

These are verbs in the past tense, which shows that the action has already taken place in the past.

Sometimes they can sound a bit different.

For instance, the word skipped sounds like a T at the end, but it remains our -ed spelling.

In these sentences, the past tense indicates that the actions occurred in the past.

They've already happened.

Yesterday, we needed our raincoats in the playground.

That was yesterday, it happened then.

My clothes dried in the sunshine last week.

That drying has already taken place.

Mom jogged along the road to the shops.

She's done that action.

Last night, they closed the supermarket because it was late.

That occurred last night, in the past.

These verbs in the past tense form, which often includes the suffix -ed but not all the time.

And remember, we're gonna be looking at some of these irregular spellings today.

We know that there are four rules when we add that -ed suffix.

Here are our four rules.

In some instances we just add -ed.

Often when there's a vowel digraph, so like for instance the word stay.

Our root word there, we just add -ed.

Or two consonant letters like in talk or ask or ask.

Sometimes we have to remove the Y and then add -ied as in dried, carried and worried.

Sometimes we have to remove the E from the root word before adding our -ed suffix, like hoped, trembled, which means similar to shaking, and lived.

And finally, we sometimes then have to double the final consonant and add -ed, often when there's a short vowel sound before a single consonant.

Planned, stopped, and grabbed show that.

These rules apply to regular past tense verbs.

Notice the importance there of the word regular.

So these are regular past tense verbs where we are adding that -ed suffix to create the past tense verb.

Add the suffix -ed to each of these and then match them to the rules that they follow.

Our root words are dry, live, grab, and need.

So we want to create the words dried, lived, grabbed, needed.

Great job.

So let's see how you've done there then.

So you have here the root word dry.

I want to make the word dried.

Now dry has that Y spelling, making that I sound.

So I need to remove the Y and add -ied.

So it's using this rule here.

Remove the Y and add -ied.

Live, I want to make the word lived.

Ending in an E, I need to remove the E and then add -ed.

Grab is my next word.

Grab, single consonant letter at the end.

Short vowel sound before it.

So I need to double that consonant letter and then add -ed.

And need.

Need, I want to get the word needed.

Now it sounds like to me as though it is part of a vowel digraph, need.

So needed, I just add -ed.

There you go.

Some verbs though, do not follow these four rules in the same way.

And this is where we begin looking at our irregular past tense verbs.

Knew, for instance.

Threw, sang, thought.

Kept, slept, and ate, went.

So I don't say I knowed what you said.

I would say I knew.

I wouldn't say I throwed.

I would say I threw.

I wouldn't say I singed.

I would say I sang.

I wouldn't say I thinked.

I would say I thought.

I wouldn't say I keeped.

I would say I kept.

I wouldn't say I sleeped.

I would say I slept.

I wouldn't say I eated.

I would say I ate.

And I wouldn't say I goed.

I would say I went.

These verbs are in the past tense, but they don't need the -ed suffix.

We call these irregular past tense verbs.

They're irregular because they do not end in -ed.

So when you hear me say irregular past tense verbs, I mean past tense verbs not ending in -ed, of which these are all examples.

Irregular verbs need to be learned and remembered.

Present tense.

Let's have a look at some words in the present tense.

And then look at them in their irregular past tense.

Know, sing, sleep, eat, go.

These are all present tense verbs.

Now let's look at them in their past tense.

Know becomes knew.

Sing becomes sang.

Sleep becomes slept.

Eat becomes ate.

And go becomes went.

These past tense verbs do not end in the suffix -ed.

They are irregular past tense verbs, which means they don't end in -ed.

So can you identify the irregular past tense verbs for me? Remember, irregular past tense verbs don't end in -ed.

Pause the video, select the irregular past tense verbs now.

Off you go.

Great.

So bake has become baked in A.

<v ->ed is there, isn't it?</v> That works as the past tense verbs.

Go, went.

No -ed, that is an irregular past tense verb.

Ask has become asked.

<v ->ed is there, it's a regular past tense verb.

</v> It's knew and know.

So that is also an irregular past tense pair there.

So we come across irregular past tense verbs all the time in speaking, reading and writing.

Whilst they don't follow the same -ed rules as regular verbs, we can group them together as they follow some similar patterns.

Know, grow, blow and throw all become knew, grew, blew, and threw.

Sing, ring, begin, and drink, all become sang, rang, began, and drank with that A.

Meet, feed, sleep, and keep, all with that EE and then a consonant become met, fed, slept, and kept with an E.

And think, fight, buy, and bring all have OU grumpy hippo.

Thought, fought, bought, and brought.

The root word can still help us to spell the past tense verb as there are some similarities.

So we can see here our root words ending in OW, then their irregular past tense ends an EW.

Our root words with ING then become A, have an AN, ANG or ANK.

Our root words with EE and then a consonant then have a E, just an E spelling in their irregular past tense.

And our root words here with think, fight, buy, and bring all have that OU grumpy hippo, then a T.

So match the present tense verb to the past tense verb for me.

We have think, sing, sleep and know as our present tense verbs.

Slept, knew, sang, and thought as our irregular past tense verbs.

Look for similar letters in both of them, is my hint for you.

Match these words now.

Off you go.

Good job.

So think becomes thought, OU grumpy hippo.

Sing becomes sang.

Sleep becomes slept.

That double E turns into a single E and then a PT, slept.

And know, I didn't say knowed.

I know becomes, I knew, EW.

OW becomes EW as it's irregular past tense.

So our irregular past tense verbs here are slept, knew, sang, thought.

So there are some irregular past tense verbs that we use all the time, but they don't follow any particular pattern.

Last night we ate popcorn whilst watching a film.

Year 4 went on the school trip to the zoo last year.

My mum made some cookies to bring to the cake sale.

We ran around the playground three times during PE.

During the holidays, I saw my grandparents every day.

So these are all examples of irregular past tense verbs.

Ate, went, made, ran, saw.

And they don't really follow any patterns, but they appear quite a lot in our written and spoken language.

We can use spelling strategies to help practise spelling these words so that we remember them because there's no rules.

We, we can also choose good old-fashioned practise to help us remember them.

Adding a fronted adverbial of time at the start of a sentence can help us to make sure the word sounds correct in the sentence as it helps to show the tense.

Remember, we're thinking about past tense, so actions that have happened in the past.

Yesterday, mom me some new shoes.

Would I use yesterday, my mom buy me some new shoes, or yesterday my mom bought me some new shoes? Absolutely bought sounds correct, doesn't it? Yesterday mom bought me some new shoes.

And I've added that fronted adverbial of time yesterday to put it into the past tense.

Last night there was a concert and we songs in the hall.

Would I say sang songs in the hall or sing songs in the hall? Remember I've added this fronted adverbial of time, which is the correct word there, the correct tense to finish this sentence.

Pause the video, say the sentence with the correct word now.

Good job, team.

Last night there was a concert and we sang songs in the hall.

I wouldn't say last night there was a concert and we sing or sing songs in the hall.

It's one of my irregular past tense, sang.

So how will these words change when they are in the past tense.

Eat, go, see.

The spelling of the root word doesn't always help us to spell the new word, remember.

What are my irregular past tense verbs going to be for eat, go, and see.

Pause the video and have a think now.

Great job.

This is quite tricky, and you are really doing some great thinking there.

So I wouldn't say I eated as my past tense.

It would be I ate.

Remember, try saying them with the word yesterday before it.

Yesterday I ate my lunch.

I wouldn't say yesterday I go to school.

I would say yesterday I went to school.

I wouldn't say yesterday I see you.

I would say yesterday I saw you.

So my past tense verbs here are irregular.

They're ate, went, and saw.

So we're gonna use now a strategy called the "look, cover, write, check" strategy to practise spelling these past tense irregular verbs.

Because there aren't really many patterns here, we just need to learn them by sight.

So we have threw, past tense of throw.

Began, kept, ate, and thought.

And we're gonna use the "look, cover, write, check" strategy.

A really, really good strategy for us to work independently and to be repetitive and to embed these spellings into our memory.

So I look carefully at the spelling here threw.

Threw, looking at it a number of times.

T-H-R-E-W, threw past tense of throw.

Cover it up, write it.

And then I can check back.

Look, cover, write, and check back strategy.

I don't do this once, I do this a number of times.

And when I check back, if I spell anything wrong, I make the corrections as I go along.

So I want you to have a go at practising using this strategy now with these five words, to write them out a number of times.

Pause the video.

Off you go.

Good job, team.

Really great work.

Let's see how you've done then.

I'm hoping that you've managed to write them up like this a number of times.

Threw, remember, TH-rew.

Began, kept, ate and thought.

OU grumpy hippo in thought as well.

Did you manage to spell them all correctly? Do you have any corrections to make? Pause the video.

Make those corrections now.

So we spent some time looking at past tense verbs, both with -ed and as irregulars.

Now we're going to have a go at practising and applying some spellings and writing a sentence.

Let's read the following words though.

My turn, your turn.

Different, different.

Material, material.

Busy, busy.

Can you look carefully at these words for me? Have a go at saying them again.

Think what might be difficult about them, might be tricky about the way that they're spelled compared to how they sound.

Different, material, busy.

Pause the video and have a think.

Good job, some lovely thinking going on there.

So I've noticed in difference, we have a double F.

And that E in the middle there is an unstressed vowel, so it's a schwa.

I didn't say dif-ferent, I said different.

You can't hear it so clearly.

It's unstressed and less emphasised.

Within material, the A there is also schwa and it's not always pronounced as a short vowel sound.

I didn't say material.

I say material.

Making an uh sound a bit like different.

The E and the A there are both schwas.

And in busy, the U there sounds like an I, doesn't it? Busy, I, I.

And the S sounds like a zzz, busy.

But it's bussy, isn't it? Bussy spells busy, B-U-S-Y.

These are curriculum words, different, material, and busy.

So it's important you now to spell them because they're gonna appear a lot both in our writing and our reading.

So from the words that we just looked at, different, material, busy, which are the correct spellings? What's the correct spelling of the word different? Point to it now.

Great, remember double F and then our E in the middle is not emphasised, is it? It's a schwa.

And then we have material, material.

Think carefully about the A here.

Absolutely, material.

And the final word is busy.

I am busy tonight.

Busy.

Which is the correct spelling of the word busy? Point to it now.

Brilliant.

Remember, it might sound like an I, ih, ih, but it's a U spelling.

And then it might sound like a zzz, a Z, but it's not.

It's an S, busy.

So we are now going to practise spelling words that follow the four rules for adding the suffix -ed that we've looked at.

Just adding -ed.

Removing the Y and adding -ied.

Removing the E and adding -ed.

And doubling the consonant and adding -ed.

And here are some examples.

Why don't you take a snapshot of these rules now? Brilliant.

Choose the correct spelling in each sentence.

I'm gonna read the sentences to you and then think about the rules that we've looked at for our past tense verbs.

The artist painted a beautiful landscape.

I dried my hair after the swimming lesson.

The tiny mouse trembled with fear.

We grabbed our coats before we got too wet.

Pause the video and select the correct spellings to complete the sentences.

Consider the spelling of the root words.

Off you go.

Brilliant job.

The artist painted.

Now it might sound like -id, ID, but I know it's my -ed there.

And it's the root word paint, which has two consonant letters so I just add -ed painted a beautiful landscape.

I dried my hair.

My root word is dry, D-R-Y.

It's that Y making that I sound.

I remove the Y and add -ied.

The tiny mouse trembled.

The root word tremble has that LE at the end, doesn't it? If the root word ends in an E, I need to remove the E and then add -ed.

And finally we grabbed.

Ah, ah, short vowel sound.

Grab, the root word, has a short vowel sound and a single consonant letter.

I double that consonant letter and add -ed, grabbed.

Brilliant.

Remember that some irregular verbs, so past tense verbs, so those verbs that don't end in -ed follow a similar pattern.

We have know, grow, blow, and throw become knew, grew, blew, and threw.

We have sing, ring, begin, and drink.

They become sang, rang, began, and drank.

Meet, feed, sleep, and keep become met, fed, slept, and kept.

And then we have think, fight, buy, and bring, which all have that OU grumpy hippo, thought, fought, bought, and brought.

If the words do not follow any pattern, putting them into a sentence can help you to remember them.

Remember often using a fronted adverbial in the past tense.

Like, yesterday I.

Yesterday, we ran to school.

Yesterday, I made a birthday card for my friend.

So which word is spelled correctly here? It's an irregular past tense.

Pause the video and point to it.

Brilliant.

I'm looking for the past tense run.

Now I wouldn't say runned, 'cause that wouldn't sound right.

Yesterday I runned in a race? No.

Yesterday I ran in a race does sound right, and it would only need one N.

So this is my correct spelling here.

I'd like the past tense of make.

It's an irregular past tense.

Which of these is spelled correctly? Pause the video, try putting it into a sentence.

Off you go.

Good job, team.

So we have a, yesterday I mayd a sandwich.

Hmm, phonetically it looks right, but I think make is my root word there.

And that's M-A-K-E, or an A split E.

B, yesterday I maked a sandwich.

That doesn't sound right.

Yesterday I made a sandwich.

Yeah, I think my root word was make.

And it's an irregular past tense verb.

So it's not gonna end in -ed, it's gonna become, made.

So it's become made.

Brilliant.

So you're gonna listen to me say a sentence now.

And then we're going to have a go at writing the sentence.

So just use your ears for now.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

So we're gonna have a go at using some strategies to help us remember this sentence now.

The first one is clapping it out.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Pause the video and clap that out now.

Off you go.

Good job, team.

The next one, shouting it out.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Make sure you shout out to me now.

And make sure I can hear you loud and proud.

Off you go.

And finally, counting the words on our fingers.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Pause the video, count that sentence out on your fingers now to make sure you don't miss any words.

Off you go.

Great, so in a minute we're gonna have a chance to write this sentence.

And I'll say it one more time.

Remember to sound out each word.

Think about any common exception or curriculum words, maybe some of the words that we've looked at today.

And then remember your sentence punctuation, capital letters, full stops.

Consider also the irregular verbs, past tense verbs, that we've looked at today.

Let me say the sentence one more time for you then.

Yesterday I bought new shoes made from a different material, and then I ran home.

Pause the video.

Have a go at writing that sentence for me now.

Off you go.

Great job, team.

Some beautiful handwriting, some really good consideration of punctuation as well as those irregular past tense verbs that we've been looking at.

So I'd like you to check your work and make any corrections as you go along now.

Yesterday.

Ooh, here we have our fronted adverb.

We need to have a comma after that as well.

And obviously we need to have a capital letter.

So comma, after our fronted adverbial of time.

I bought O-U-G-H-T.

So that past tense of buy, isn't it? I wouldn't say I buyed.

It becomes bought, OU grumpy hippo T.

New, and that's just from an N spelling as in brand new shoes made, irregular, past tense there from a different, careful with that word.

We had that schwa as our first E there 'cause we don't emphasise it so much.

It's not a stressed.

Material, same.

Same deal with our A there.

We didn't say material, say material.

So it's a schwa.

Be careful with that word.

And then I ran home, ran there.

Irregular past tense verb.

And of course we have to have a full stop.

How did you do with our past tense, irregular verbs here and also some of our curriculum words? Do you have any corrections to make? Did you make any mistakes? What success have you had? Pause the video, share those mistakes and successes and make any corrections now.

Off you go.

Great spelling today, team.

Done a really good job, especially with our sentence in the end there.

Today we've been spelling further words with the suffix -ed.

And we've also been looking at some of those irregular past tense verbs that don't use that -ed suffix.

The -ed suffix can be used to create past tense words.

Some verbs are irregular and do not follow specific rules so we can use spelling strategies to learn and remember them.

Self-checking when we do this is really important, especially when we use a strategy like look, cover, write, check.

But when we are using that -ed suffix, remember there are four key rules.

To some words, we just add -ed.

To other root words, we remove the Y and add -ied.

To some root words, we remove the E and then add -ed And to other root words, we also then double the consonant and add -ed.

Keep up the great spelling.

Keep up the great practise, and keep yourself checking up.

And I'll see you again soon.
