Now, we are going to work out the root, progressive and present form of these verbs...

What is a root word?

A root word is a basic word with no prefix or suffix.

Remember when I asked if you found the verb 'holding'? Well, the root word of holding is 'hold'. I found the root word by taking away the suffix 'ing'.

Multiple Choice

What is the root word for heard?

Remember, a root word has no prefix or suffix.

• misheard

• hear

• hearing

Past verb

A past tense verb refers to an action or event that happened in the past.

For example:

I think Sara added too much sugar to the recipe.

Sara has already added the sugar - it happened in the past - so this is in past tense.

Multiple Choice

Click on the sentence that is in past tense.

• Nina is walking her dog down the street.

• The children camped in the garden last night.

Progressive verb

A progressive verb describes an action or event that is still happening (it is ongoing) at a specific time.

If this sounds confusing, don't worry. There is an an excellent video that explains it here:
