Past and Present Tense Practice for Grade 3 Students

Tense in English grammar tells us the time of an action. For Class 3, focus is on:

• Present tense – shows actions happening now (e.g., "She walks.")
• Past tense – shows actions that happened before (e.g., "She walked.")

Past tense in grammar is used to show that an action happened in the past. Example:

• Present: "They jump."
• Past: "They jumped."

Teach tenses to Grade 3 students by:

• Using simple examples of daily actions in both present and past (e.g., "I eat" vs. "I ate")
• Giving **fill-in-the-blank** and **matching exercises**
• Incorporating pictures to connect verbs to real-life situations
• Practising with printable worksheets for hands-on learning

Examples of past and present tense are:

• Present: "He runs."    Past: "He ran."
• Present: "We play."     Past: "We played."
• Present: "I read."      Past: "I read (pronounced 'red')."

Class 3 English grammar focuses mainly on two types of tenses:

• Simple Present Tense (e.g., "She writes.")
• Simple Past Tense (e.g., "She wrote.")
