Development
Activity 1
· Students should write the definition of verb in their notebooks. (they might have already written it but they can write it again).
· (verb are action words. For example: clap, run, play)
· Tell the students that when the action is over and finished, the verb becomes ‘past’ and we call
· it the past form. To explain this you can act, walk in class. Ask the students, ‘what am I doing?’ students wil reply, ‘walking’. You say, “good” if the answer is correct. Now stop walking and stand in front of class. Ask them: what did I do a few minutes ago? If the students say: walk or walking then correct them by saying, walked.
· Repeat your question, ‘what did I do a minute ago? Students must say ’walked’. Correct them if they don’t give the right answer.
