Perfect Tense for Kids

-
Hello friends,

Understanding English tenses can sometimes seem like solving a tricky puzzle but don't worry as today, I will be exploring perfect tenses, giving you a simple guide to understanding these grammar wonders easily.

What are Perfect Tenses?

Perfect tenses are like time travelers in English. They let us talk about actions that happened before a certain point or are finished at a specific time. There are three main perfect tenses: present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect.

Present Perfect Tense

Let's start with the present perfect tense. It is used to describe actions that began in the past and are still happening now or just finished. For example: 
"She has eaten breakfast." 
Here, eating breakfast started in the past and just finished.

Past Perfect Tense

Next, we have the past perfect tense. It is used to talk about actions that were finished before another past action. For instance: 
"He had finished his homework before dinner." 
Here, finishing homework happened before dinner, showing the order of events.

Future Perfect Tense

Lastly, there is the future perfect tense. It is like predicting the outcome of a game before it is played! It is used to discuss actions that will be finished before a certain point in the future. For example: 
"By tomorrow, they will have completed the project." 
Here, completing the project will be finished before tomorrow comes.

Practice Makes Perfect!

To help you master perfect tenses, I have prepared some exciting worksheets for you to download and enjoy. With fun exercises along with answers, you will become a perfect tense pro in no time! However, do read up about irregular verbs before attempting these worksheets:

Free Jolly Phonics Group 1 worksheets (s, a, t, i, p, n) According to Oxford Dictionary, phonics is a "method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with symbols in an alphabetic writing system". In simple words, each letter of the alphabet has a sound. Instead of teaching young children the names of these alphabets, the sounds are taught. For example "a" makes the sound /a/...this is exactly the sound that comes from your mouth in the beginning when you say the word " apple " or " ant ". The letter "a" makes a different sound in words like " arm " and " ate " but these rules are taught later.  Jolly Phonics is a synthetic phonics system where all the letters of the alphabet have been split into seven groups. Each group contains 6 letters or their combinations so a total of 42 sounds are taught. What do I mean by a combination of letters? Remember that the combination of letters "s" and "h&

Free Jolly Phonics Group 2 worksheets (c/k, e, h, r, m, d) Hello Friends, I am back with another set of worksheets for helping children learn their phonics sounds. As you might already know, I am a strong proponent of the Jolly Phonics system of synthetic phonics sounds. Jolly Phonics system follows a particular order of teaching alphabet sounds in which there are seven groups. The following image shows the seven groups of Jolly Phonics along with an extra group taught by my Phonics app on Google Play Store. My app called  Phonics Fun  is 100% Free so you can download it and use it on all your Android devices.  It teaches all the letter sounds and different phonics rules and follows the pattern of Jolly Phonics but it is available for free. It is the perfect way to master phonics as you can hear phonics sounds and also test learning by playing many matching games. Coming back to printable Jolly phonics worksheets, I have already published worksheets for practicing Group 1 (s, a, t,

Jolly Phonics Flash Cards

Gone are the days of A for apple, B for Ball...this is the time of synthetic phonics where each alphabet has a sound. Now, you don't teach children the name of the letter but the sound made by the letter. A has the sound that comes when we say the word apple, b has the sound that comes when we say bed, and so on and so forth. There are different systems of synthetic phonics but I have felt that Jolly Phonics is the best system. In fact, I made my first mobile app for my son based on the Jolly Phonics style of teaching. However, I know that many people want to limit screen exposure for their children so I decided to make these flashcards.  You can use these flashcards independently or you can use them along with my app called Phonics Fun , available on the Google Play Store. You can hear the sounds from my app. Practice using these flashcards and then, test learning using my app too...a win-win situation :) The Jolly Phonics flash cards are double-sided. I have told you in my previ
