Place sentences with irregular verbs on a timeline

Key Notes:-

Introduction

  • What Is a Timeline?
  • A timeline is a way to show the order in which events happen.
  • It helps us see what happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future.
  • Irregular Verbs:
  • Irregular verbs are verbs that change their form in the past tense instead of adding “-ed.”
  • Examples: go → went, eat → ate, see → saw.

Understanding Time Concepts:

  • Past:
  1. Events or actions that have already happened.
  2. Example: I went to the zoo yesterday.
  • Present:
  1. Events or actions happening right now.
  2. Example: I am eating lunch.
  • Future:
  1. Events or actions that will happen later.
  2. Example: I will go to the park tomorrow.

How to Place Sentences with Irregular Verbs on a Timeline:

  • Identify the Verb Tense:
  1. Look at the verb in the sentence and determine if it is in the past, present, or future tense.
  2. For past tense irregular verbs, look for words like went, ate, saw, etc.
  • Label the Timeline:

  2. Divide it into three sections: Past, Present, and Future.
