Lesson details
Key learning points
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.
- -ed is a suffix that can be used to create the past tense.
- If the verb has a short vowel, double the consonant and add -ed.
- Change 'y' to 'i' and add –ed (common rule – unless vowel before ‘y’, e.g. enjoy-enjoyed).
- How to spell the curriculum word: busy.
Common misconception
Pupils can think that all verbs ending in 'y' follow the rule remove the 'y' and add -ied.
Look at examples that add -ed and remove the 'y' and add -ied. Focus on the sound the 'y' is making and see if it is part of a digraph.
