Lesson 4 introduces children to the idea that not all verbs are about doing something – some simply show a state of being. This lesson helps pupils understand how verbs like is, are, was and were function in sentences, supporting their grasp of sentence structure from the earliest stages. The PowerPoint explains being verbs clearly and gives examples children can relate to while the two tasks provide variety in practice. Task 1 focuses on recognising and identifying being verbs within sentences and Task 2 asks pupils to apply their knowledge by completing sentences with the correct verb. Together, they ensure children not only spot being verbs but also use them accurately, making this lesson a vital step in their sentence-building journey.
