Lets Learn This

In this activity sheet, you will learn the aspects of verbs.

The aspect of a verb is determined by whether the action is ongoing or completed.

The four aspects are simple aspect, perfect aspect, progressive aspect, and
the perfect progressive aspect.

In this activity sheet, we will focus only on the perfect aspect of verbs.

Lets begin.

Lets Practice Fluency

Task 1: Are You An Accurate Reader?

Choral Reading for Fluency

Each of you will be given a copy of a part of the story. Your group/class will read
softly along with your teacher. As you read along, underline or encircle the word/s
you will mispronounce or the words you are not sure of the pronunciation. After
reading along, count the number of words you underlined or encircled. Then, look at
the table below for your percentage of accuracy and its description.

The tenses of verbs you identified show an action that happened at a definite time
whether in the present, past, or future. Definite time means exact or certain.

What if the time of the action is indefinite?

If the time of the action is indefinite, we use the aspects of verbs.

The aspects of verbs are present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect.

In this lesson, we will study the perfect tenses of verb.

Lets Study This

THE PERFECT TENSES

Look at the timelines to show simple tenses and perfect tenses.

This timeline shows the simple tenses of verbs.

This timeline shows the perfect tenses of verbs.

The past perfect expresses an action completed in the past before another action
happened.

Page 3 of 9

 EN6Q1W4D3

The present perfect expresses an action that was completed sometime in the past
or is still continuing in the present.

The future perfect describes an action that will still be completed sometime in the
future.

Today, we will focus on the past perfect tense of verbs.

Study the underlined words and the sentences in the table.

Past Tense Past Perfect

The big snake raised his head. The big snake had raised his head before
he greeted iguana.

King Lion called a meeting of the animals. King Lion had called a meeting before the
animals arrived.

She turned her head toward the east. She had turned her head toward the east
before she called the sun to come.

Did you notice that the word had is added to the past tense of the verb to form the
past perfect?

The past perfect tense shows that an action is completed in the past before another
happened.

Look at the words added to had. The past tense of verbs is changed to the past
participle form.

Past participle of verbs expresses completed action and that is one of the principal
parts of the verb.

Why Mosquitoes Buzz in Peoples Ears

Retold by Verna Aardema
Copyright 1975
One morning a mosquito saw an iguana drinking at a waterhole. The mosquito said,
Iguana, you will never believe what I saw yesterday.
Try me, said the iguana.
The mosquito said, I saw a farmer digging yams that were almost as big as I
am.
Whats a mosquito compare to a yam? snapped the iguana grumpily. I
would rather be deaf than listen to such nonsense! Then he stuck two sticks in his
ear and went off, mek, mek, mek, mek, through the reeds.
The iguana was still grumbling to himself when he happened to pass by a
python.
The big snake raised his head and said, Good morning, Iguana.
