Lesson details
Key learning points
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.
- Adding "-ing" creates an extra syllable to the word.
- If the root word ends in the consonant "e", the "e" is removed before the suffix is added.
- How to spell the curriculum word: through.
Common misconception
Pupils often assume words ending in the suffix -ing indicate the present tense.
Refer to the Year 3 grammar lesson on 'being' verbs and give plenty of examples to show the verbs in both past tense and present tense.
