TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Verb tenses: adding -ing
What are verbs in Year 2 English?
In Year 2 English, children are taught that verbs are words describing actions, such as run, jump and play. They can also be used for states of being, such as is, are and was. They are essential blocks for building cohesive sentences, as they tell us what the subject (who or what the sentence is about) is doing or being.
For example:
The cat sleeps.
The word sleeps is the verb because it tells us what the cat is doing.
What are verb tenses?
Verb tenses are ways of using verbs to show when something happens in the past, present, or future.
For example:
She runs = this is present tense as it's happening now.
She ran = this is past tense as it already happened.
She will run = this is future tense as it will happen later.
How will this Year 2 verbs worksheet help your child?
This printable learning resource was specially made by an experienced teacher to help your child understand and use verb tenses by adding -ing. Colours have been utilised to help break down the lesson and the activity has been tailored specifically for KS1 children.
