Hooray it’s Friday!!
Today we are going to be adding suffixes –er, -ed, and –ing to root words.
Look at the PPT ‘adding –er, -ed and –ing’ and discuss how the root word (verb in this case) can have a suffix added to it to change its meaning. Discuss the meanings of the words and orally rehearse in sentences together.
Now we are going to complete the adding –er, -ed and –ing activity sheet.
To begin with discuss how the 3 suffixes tells us;
- who/ what does something -er
- if it was done in the past or -ed
- it is happening in the present -ing
Think of some verbs and how they can be conjugated-
- play- player, played, playing,
- walk--,
- mix-,
- clean-,
- help-
Challenge:
Can you write the words you have created into super sentences?
