Suffixes: Past and present

﻿Hello, and welcome to today's spelling lesson. I'm Mr Marsh. In today's spelling lesson, we are going to look at suffixes. And we're going to at look at two suffixes. We're looking to look at the suffix -ed. And we're going to look at the suffix -ing. Before we begin our lesson though, I just want to tell you about a word that I learned this week. So the other day, I was watching a football match, and my friend was ready to come on the pitch. My other friend turned to me and went, "wow, he looks like he's really focused, look at his steely glare." And I thought steely glare, what do you mean by steely glare? And he said, "look, look at his look in his eyes. "He's so focused, he is so concentrated." And I love that phrase, steely glare. So steely is spelled S-T-E-E-L-Y. Anyway, I love words, one of the reasons I love spelling so I wanted to share that with you, okay. So when you're ready, let's begin today's lesson. Okay, before we begin today's lesson, let's just have a quick look at our agenda for the lesson. So in the first part of the lesson, we're going to look at some key vocabulary for the lesson. And then we're going to move on to look at investigating and generating some rules for looking at the suffixes -ed and -ing. And then, at the end of the lesson, we're going to set some spelling words using and looking at those rules. Okay, so, before we begin, make sure that you've got an exercise book or a paper, make sure you've got a pen or a pencil, and make sure your brains are switched on. If you need to do those things, pause the video now, before we begin, okay. Off you go. So, at the start of the lesson, we're just going to have a quick look at some of the key vocabulary that we're going to use in this lesson. And the key vocabulary that's important to understand as we go through, okay. So, after I've said some of our key vocabulary, I'd like you to repeat after me. So our first word is suffix, your turn. So a suffix is a group of letters at the end of a word that changes its meaning. So in today's lesson, we're going to look at two suffixes. We're going to look at the suffix -ed, and we're going to look at the suffix -ing. Verb. A verb is a doing or a being word. Past tense, your turn. So past tense is referring to something that has happened in the past, it's happened previously. Present tense. So this verb tense is referring to something that's happening now, happening right at this moment, like I'm speaking to you. Okay, here's two other key bits of vocabulary for us. Vowel, your turn, and consonant, your turn. Now you might be really familiar with the vowels of a, e, i, o, and u. Now sometimes Y is used as a vowel 'cause every word must contain at least one vowel. And if you take a word like sky, S-K-Y, well, there's no a, e, i, o, u in that word. So Y sometimes acts like a vowel, but it is technically a consonant. Now, the consonants are all the other letters in the alphabet, except for a, e, i, o, and u, okay. There's some key vocabulary that's going to help us we go through the lesson when we look at investigating some rules for our spelling today. Now, little bit of revision for you, you might think back to phonics. And when we think about vowels, we sometimes think about sounds. So sometimes we think about the short vowel sounds, and sometimes we think about the long vowel sounds. Now short vowel sounds, are like clipped little sounds. So we got a, e, i, o, u. And then sometimes we get those long vowel sounds that are stretched ay, ee, igh, oa, u_e. Now it's important to have that in mind just as we learn some of our investigation and spelling rules from today. Okay, so we're going to look at some words where we've got those short vowel sounds, and where we've got the long vowel sounds. So in the middle of cup, we've got the a sound. In the middle of stop, we've got the o sound. Now in the middle of light, we've got the igh sound, so it's stretched igh, and in the middle of feast, we've got the ee sound, you can hear that ee has been stretched. Now in our lesson, we're going to look at investigating and generating some rules for the suffixes -ed and -ing that we're looking at in today's lesson. Okay, we're going to start off with these two words in the past tense. Suggested and allowed. I want you to pause the video and tell me what do you notice about these past tense verbs? Okay, how did you get on? Well, you may have noticed that they both end with the suffix -ed. Suggested has got more of ed sound at the end. And allowed, have got more of a d sound at the end. So although they sound different than with a suffix -ed and they use the suffix -ed to turn the verb into the past tense. And generally, when we use the suffix -ed at the end of the verb, it changes the verb into the past tense. And that's what we're going to look at now. We're going to investigate this, we're going to look at the suffix -ed and some rules for adding it to the ends of verbs to put them in the past tense. Okay, so we're going to look at four different rules. and I won't sort of explain these now 'cause we're going to go through each and every one of them in the next few slides. Okay, here's the first rule for adding the suffix -ed. and it's one we've already just had a look at. So I might say today I descend. But how am I going to turn that into the past tense? I want you to pause the video now and do that for me. Okay, how did you get on? Well, descend, so today I descend, but yesterday I descended, so that means it's happened in the past, I've just added the suffix -ed. Okay, that's one of my rules for adding the suffix -ed. Here's another one. This one, we're going to revise because it's a little bit trickier. There's my present tense verb drag, okay, drag. Now, I want you to think back to some that key vocabulary earlier in the lesson where we talked about short and long vowel sounds. In drag, the a sound is that a short or long vowel sound? Excellent is a short vowel sound, isn't it? That drag has got a, a short vowel sound. Well, when in a present tense verb, you have a short vowel sound, you need to double the consonant at the end of that word, and then at the suffix -ed, so drag becomes dragged. So we've got the present tense verb dip. It's got that short vowel sound i, in the middle of it before the consonant. Pause the video, write down what this verb would be in the past tense using the suffix -ed. Off you go. Okay, how did you get on? Well, dip becomes dipped, because it's got that short vowel sound before the consonant P of i. So we double the P and then add -ed. Don't worry if you've got that wrong, it's a tricky rule, but that's how we learn. So we can remember that for next time. A third rule of adding a suffix -ed, is if our present tense verb, so here we've got the verb recognise. If our present tense verb ends in an E, we remove the E and then add -ed. So today I recognise, yesterday I recognised Okay, now it's your turn, have the present tense verb achieve. How can I turn that into the past tense? Okay, write it down, pause the video. Off you go. Okay, how did you get on? Well achieve so today I achieve, becomes yesterday, I achieved. so we've removed the E and then added -ed to turn it the verb into the past tense. Okay, our fourth and final rule for adding a suffix -ed. Here's a present tense verb identify, and identify ends in a Y. To turn identify from the present tense into the past tense we need to remove the Y, add an I and then add -ed. So today I identify, but yesterday I identified. Okay, here's the present tense verb study. So today I study how am I going to turn that into the past tense? Okay, pause the video, off you go. Excellent, how did you get on? Well, you can see that that present tense verb study ends in a Y So you need to remove the Y add an I and then add -ed. So study, today I study becomes yesterday I studied. Okay, now we've looked each of the rules for the -ed suffix, it's time to challenge yourself. So at the bottom, I've got a present tense verb argue. I want you to pause the video and have a think which rule should we use to turn this into the past tense, okay? Pause the video now. Well the present tense verb argue ends in an E. So we need to remove the E and then add -ed. So argue becomes argued. Okay, here's another one for you, hurry. Pause the video. Well the present tense verb hurry ends in a Y. So we need to remove the Y, add an I and then add -ed so hurry becomes hurried. Stop, think about the vowel sound before the consonant at the end. Okay, how did you get on? So stop has got the o sound, a short vowel sound. So remember, when we have a short vowel sound, before the consonant at the end of the word we need to double the consonant and then add -ed. So stop, becomes stopped. We're now going to move on from looking at verbs in the past tense to verbs in the present tense. So verbs are describing something that's happening now. So here are two verbs in the present tense, calling, so I am calling or dreaming I am dreaming. And when they're in the present tense many verbs use the suffix -ing to show they're in the present tense. So, I visit my friends, I walk to the park. Now both of those are verbs that are happening in the present tense. But, we might say I am visiting my family. I am walking to the park. So along with adding the suffix -ing to the verbs visit and walk. I've also added the verb to be. So there we have, I am, I am. So you might have you are, he/she is, we are, they are. So, when you have the verb to be, and you have a verb, with the suffix -ing, we say that that's in the present progressive tense, okay. so we're going to do a little investigation around adding the suffix -ing. And again, similarly with when we added the suffix -ed to go to the past tense, there are four rules that we're going to look at and investigate for adding the suffix -ing, okay. The first rule is that you just add -ing to the end of the verb. So rain, becomes raining. So if that vowel sound before the consonant at the end, is a long vowel sound, so remember back to the key vocabulary we did at the start of lesson, so we had rain, that ai is stretch sounds of rain well then we add an -ing at the end so rain, becomes raining because there's that long vowel sound, okay. Can you Change, dream, present tense verb by adding the suffix -ing? Okay, off you go. So, how did you get on? Well dream has got that ee sound, isn't? So I stretched it as I said it, so dream, becomes dreaming we just add -ing to the verb. Okay, here's our second rule, we're going to have a look at. In the second rule, we got the verb, present tense verb run, we're going to change that to running so I run or I am running. So if the verb is a single consonant, and then has that short vowel sound, so again, remember back to the start of the lesson. We've got in run, we've got the a sound. So we've got that short vowel sound this time, we double the consonant at the end of the verb and then add -ing, so run becomes running. So here we've got hop, short vowel sound o before the consonant P, at the end of the word. Can you change the present tense of hop by adding the suffix -ing? Okay, off you go. How did you get on? Well, o, again is a short vowel sound. So, hop becomes hopping we double the consonant P and then add -ing. Here's our third rule for adding a suffix -ing. So, if your present tense verb, so place so I place ends in an E then you need to remove the E and then add -ing. So, I place becomes, I am placing. Okay, your turn, achieve. So, what do you need to do here? Our present tense verb ends in E, how am I going to add the suffix -ing? Okay, how did you get on? Well, you need to remove the E and then add -ing. So, I achieve, becomes I am achieving. So there's that present progressive again I am verb to be, and then achieving so my verb end in -ing. Okay, here's is our fourth rule. If your present tense verb, worry here is our example ends in a Y, then you just add -ing to the end of that verb. So, I worry, I am worrying. So, that I have changed into the present progressive tense by adding the verb to be and then adding the suffix -ing. Okay, your turn. I have the present tense verb empty, how am I going to add the suffix -ing to the verb empty? Okay, so, I empty becomes I am emptying. So, because empty ends in a Y we just add an -ing to the end of the verb, okay. So, your challenge time again, here are the four rules that we've just looked at for adding this suffix -ing, I put a word at the bottom. Which rule would you follow to add -ing suffix to that verb promise? Okay, pause the video now. So how did you get on? Well promise, the present tense verb ends in E. So I remove the E and then add -ing, so I promise becomes I am promising. Okay, quit, pause the video now. Okay, which rule will do that? You needed here to double the consonant and then add -ing. So quit has got i sound, isn't it? It's a short vowel sound before the consonant at the end T. So we have to double the T and then add -ing. Classify, pause the video. Okay, which rule did that follow? Well, classify the present tense verb ends in a Y? So you need to add -ing to the end of classify. So I classify, I am classifying. Okay, here's the final one for you, we have the present tense verb group. So which rule does this follow? Pause the video now. Okay, how did you get on? Well, you think about the vowel sound before the consonant. You've got group, so they've got the e_u, is a stretched vowel sound, isn't it? So with that, you need to just add -ing. So I say I group things together, I am grouping things together. Okay, excellent. So we're now going to move on, and we're going to set our spelling words for this lesson. So I want you to make sure you carefully copy down the spelling words so that you've got them ready to practise after the lesson. Okay, let's make a start. So here are the 10 spellings of this lesson. I'm going to go through each one. So don't worry, if you're saying Mr Marsh, I don't understand the meaning of some of these words, I'm going to explain them to you. So, you have five verbs in the past tense and five verbs in the present tense using the suffix -ing. So, our first word is developed, your turn. We developed a plan, means you created one. Equipped, your turn. We were equipped with the right technology, it means that you had to think about the word equipment means you had the right things that you needed. Referred, your turn. So, in the third present tense verb is refer or you might think about our reference. So you might say I might say I referred to the book, which means I previously made reference to that book. Persuaded, your turn. Well the present tense verb there is persuade, so you convince someone to do something. So if I persuaded them, it means I've already convinced them to do that in the past tense. Occupied. So the present tense verb there is occupy means to takeover. So someone might occupy a country or they might occupy a house. So occupied is the past tense verb of occupy. Now onto our present tense using the suffix -ing, so explaining, I'm explaining your spellings for this week to you. Dragging, your turn, I'm dragging something along the road or along the street or along the ground. Referring, so again like referred earlier in our spellings, referring is the present tense using the suffix -ing so making reference to something. Promising, so promising to make a promise so promising using the -ing suffix in the present tense. And occupying, your turn. Okay, so we've talked about occupying taking over something. So occupying using the suffix -ing in the present tense. What I want you to do now, I want you to make sure that you've copied those down very, very carefully. So they are all correct. So pause the video and make sure on your pad or your paper that you've really copied these words down carefully. Okay, off you go. Excellent, so that brings us to the end of today's spelling lesson, and you've achieved so much. That's so great. So what I want you to do now is take away the list of those spellings and I want you to start practising using the suffix -ed and using the suffix -ing and thinking about the rules that we've learnt in today's lesson. And if you're going to practise your spellings, the best strategy is to do it little and often. So five to 10 minutes every day would be really effective practise. Okay, I hope you've enjoyed the lesson, and I'll see you again soon, goodbye.
