Sentence Walls
Parse these sentences. Then identify the verb, subject, and object (if there is one) for each one and write them on the wall. Add the words which describe, or “modify,” them directly underneath.
1. The fierce dog barked loudly.
2. They will make chocolate cookies.
3. The red car was winning the race.
4. A gigantic dinosaur roared fiercely.
5. I am cooking some tasty sausages.

Irregular Past Participles
Not all verbs make their past tenses and past participles by adding ‹-ed›. These verbs are irregular, or “tricky,” and have to be learned. Often they change the vowel sound and sometimes they have other letters too.
These verbs have ‹i› in the root word, ‹a› in the simple past, and ‹u› in the past participle. swim ring sink begin drink sing stink spring shrink began drank sang stunk sprung shrunk
infinitive / present simple past past participle
infinitive / present grew simple past grown past participle
These verbs change the vowel sound in the simple past and add ‹-n› or ‹-en› to the infinitive for the past participle. grow bite draw write fall know take give shake hide

Unscramble the letters in the palaces and add them to ‹tial› to make words from the spelling list.
Complete the adjectives by adding ‹cial›, ‹sial›, or ‹tial›. Remember that ‹cial› usually follows a vowel letter and ‹tial› normally follows a consonant. Then add ‹-ly› to each word to make an adverb. The torrential rain drenched the crowd really quickly.
