Learning Simple Tenses Made Fun: A Guide for Kids (With Free Worksheets!)

-

Hello young friends,

Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey into the world of English grammar? Today, we're going to explore a fundamental aspect of language: simple tenses! Whether you're in grade 1 or grade 2, understanding simple tenses is a key step in becoming a master of English.

So, what are simple tenses? Well, they're like magical time machines that help us talk about things that happened in the past, things happening now, and things that will happen in the future. Sounds cool, right?

Let's break it down with some examples:

  1. Simple Present Tense:

  2. This is used to talk about things that are happening right now or things that happen regularly. For instance, "I eat breakfast every morning." Here, "eat" is the action that happens regularly.


  5. Simple Past Tense:

  6. This helps us talk about things that have already happened. For example, "Yesterday, I played with my friends at the park." In this sentence, "played" tells us that the action (playing) happened in the past.


  8. Simple Future Tense:

  9. This lets us talk about things that will happen in the future. Imagine saying, "Tomorrow, we will go to the zoo." Here, "will go" indicates the action (going to the zoo) that will take place later.

Learning simple tenses is like adding superpowers to your English skills! And guess what? I've got something extra special for you. I'm offering free worksheets that will make learning simple tenses even more fun. These worksheets are packed with exciting exercises that will help reinforce what you've learned. I have also included the answers sheet in the PDF to help you in your learning journey. However, I would recommend learning about irregular verbs before attempting these worksheets. I have written an article on this topic too.

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
