Phonics: Module 16, Lesson 3 (Day 78): Inflectional Endings
Phonics: Lesson 3 - Sorting Words with Inflectional Endings
Introduction
Today, you will sort words with inflectional endings by common characteristics.
We have been learning how to read and write words with inflectional endings. We are working with the -ed and -ing. The inflectional ending, -ed, is added to a verb to change it to the past tense. When you add -ing to the ending of a verb it changes both the meaning and the function of the verb. In some cases, it causes the verb to act as a noun or adjective, whereas in others, it changes the tense of the verb.
