What children learn in Level 22
- When one person or thing does an action now, add s to the verb: Leo kicks the ball.
- If the verb ends in s, x, ch, or sh, add e s instead. You can hear it: wash, washes. Fix, fixes.
- When more than one does it, don't add s: The boys kick the ball.
- For the past, add e d: kicked, washed. If the verb already ends in e, just add d: bake, baked.
- Your turn! Sort the verbs by their ending.
