Spelling Verb Endings
English · Spelling & Word Study · procedural
Spell words with common suffixes (-s/-es for plurals and third person verbs, -ing, -ed, -er, -est) where no change to the root word is needed
What mastery looks like
- Add -s or -es correctly to make plurals (e.g. 'cats', 'boxes')
- Spell words with -ing and -ed endings (e.g. 'jumping', 'helped')
- Add -er and -est to adjectives (e.g. 'quicker', 'quickest')
Check your understanding
When Spelling Verb Endings writes about more than one dog or talks about something that is happening now, do they add the right ending — like "dogs" or "jumping" — without making spelling mistakes?
