Run, ran, will run: verbs on the move
By 3rd grade, kids already know a verb is an action word. Now they learn that verbs also tell when. Third graders form and use past, present and future tense, like jump, jumped, will jump, and they learn the tricky irregular verbs that break the -ed rule: run → ran, go → went, think → thought. They also meet linking verbs like is, are and was, and they practice making the verb agree with the subject: "The dog barks" but "The dogs bark." The click comes when kids hear "I goed" and fix it all by themselves!
Third graders love verbs once they feel the action. These are the moves we lean on.
Put on a verb song at the start of grammar time and let kids chant along with the beat. Pause the song and call out a verb for kids to act out. The rhythm makes the definitions stick, and the movement makes them memorable.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withVerb Rap Song (Original Music Video)SongsOpen it →Flash an action verb card. Kids act it out, then you call "Yesterday!" or "Tomorrow!" and they say the matching tense. Three quick rounds a day turns tense changes into reflexes.
Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
Try it withAction Verbs Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Don't practice past tense all week and then future tense the next. Give kids a page that mixes all three so they have to decide which tense each sentence needs. Choosing is the real skill, and mixed practice trains it.
Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

Third graders use action verbs, linking verbs like is and was, and past, present and future tense. They also learn common irregular verbs such as ran, went, ate and saw, and they make verbs agree with the subject.
An irregular verb does not add -ed to show past tense. "Walk" becomes "walked," but "run" becomes "ran" and "go" becomes "went." Kids mostly learn these by hearing and using them often.
Talk about your day in three tenses: "Yesterday we baked, today we bake, tomorrow we will bake." Then let your child be the teacher and quiz you. Kids love catching grown-ups making mistakes.
A linking verb connects the subject to a word that describes it instead of showing action. In "The soup is hot," the word "is" links soup to hot. Common linking verbs are am, is, are, was and were.
It actually shows they learned the -ed rule well! They are just applying it to verbs that break the rule. Gently repeat the right form back ("Oh, you ran?") and practice a few irregular verbs each week.
