Sequences: Colorcards Verb Tenses

This title features 16 three-step sequences illustrating the past, present and future tenses of familiar activities. Eight verbs have regular, and therefore predictable, past tenses. The other eight verbs have irregular past tenses. Ten of the sequences show singular verb forms with one person doing the activity, and six show plural verb forms with two people involved.

Examples include:

• cleaning football boots
• packing a suitcase
• sweeping the floor
• cutting a cake
• brushing hair
• lighting candles.

Individual cards can be used to focus on one tense, or use the whole sequence to contrast past, present and future tenses. These cards are a flexible and fun resource for language teaching and therapy with people of all ages and backgrounds.
