What children learn in Level 31

  • Verbs tell when, but they can also tell whether an action is still going on. Those are progressive verbs: a helping verb plus an i n g verb.
  • Present progressive is happening right now: the baby is sleeping. Use am, is, or are.
  • Past progressive was going on at a time in the past: yesterday at three, we were playing soccer. Use was or were.
  • Future progressive will be going on at a time in the future: tomorrow at noon, Mom will be driving.
  • Look for time words like right now, yesterday at three, and tomorrow at noon. They tell you which verb to use.

Georgia's K-12 English Language Arts Standards:
