Explain Verb Conjugation
Verbs in the English language are conjugated, which means that a verb can change its tense by changing its ending. For example, the present tense verb “love” becomes "loved” in the past tense. Besides context, the addition of the “d” clues the reader in to the verb’s new tense. Every verb has a root that can be variously used by changing its ending. Explain to your student that those endings are the key to understanding the role of the verb in the sentence and the tense it is meant to capture.
