Present-Tense Verbs

A verb’s tense tells when the action takes place. Present tense verbs tell what happens now:

The cat drinks from the bowl.

A breeze blows softly.

Add s to most present-tense verbs with singular subjects. Add nothing to present-tense verbs with plural subjects. A verb must agree in number with its subject:

She cheers for the home team.

They cheer for the home team.

He skates around the block.

They skate around the block.

Singular: I look, you look, she looks,

Plural: we look, you look, they look.

Week 1:

A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate.

The subject tells what or whom the sentence is about:

The girl ran around the track.

Mike and Joe jumped over the fence.

The predicate tells what the subject does and has a verb. Identifying subjects and verbs can help students when writing:

The girl ran around the track.

Mike and Joe jumped over the fence.

A verb is a word that tells what the subject does or is:

The girl ran around the track.

Mike and Joe jumped over the fence.

Quotation Marks and Colons in Time

Use quotation marks to show that someone is speaking. Quotation marks come at the beginning and end of a person’s exact words. The end punctuation goes inside the quotation mark.

“Wait for me after school,” Bill said.

Quotation marks are also used to show that the exact words from a text are being cited.
