Continuous Tense for Kids with Free Worksheets

-

Hey Kids, Parents, and Teachers! Learning English is like solving a fun puzzle, and one important piece of this puzzle is called tenses. Today, we are going to explore a special kind of tense called the continuous tense. It is super cool and easy to understand!

What is Continuous Tense?

The continuous tense is all about actions that are happening right now or were happening in the past and will continue for some time. It’s like saying, "I am running" or "She was playing." Notice the "am" and "was"? That is how you know it is continuous tense!

Present Continuous Tense

This tense talks about something happening at this very moment. For example:

- "I am eating an apple."

- "They are playing soccer."


Past Continuous Tense:

This tense is about something that was happening at a certain time in the past. For example:

- "She was reading a book."

- "We were watching a movie."

Future Continuous Tense:

This tense is used to talk about actions that will be happening at a specific time in the future. It is like looking into a crystal ball and seeing what you will be doing! For example:

- "She will be eating lunch."

- "We will be playing in the park."

How to Spot Continuous Tense:

Look for the "ing" form of the verb! When you see "am," "is," "are," "was," "were", or "will be" with a verb ending in "ing," that is the continuous tense in action.

Why Learn Continuous Tense?

Learning continuous tense helps kids describe actions more clearly. They can tell their friends what they are doing right now, what they did yesterday, or what they will be doing in the future more easily. Plus, it is fun to learn and use in stories and conversations!

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
