So this week we are copying the werewolf description onto a word doc on the computer.We are also studying the adjectives for a spelling test on Friday 14th Nov and then we are doing the online exercises about present simple to practise and remember the difficulty when we are talking about someone else (3rd person)

What adjectives do I have to study and what do they mean? Check in a dictionary
Wicked, spiteful, unhappy, beautiful, unsightly, unreliable, bad tempered, disgusting, dangerous, unpleasant.
I put beautiful 'cause you always spell it wrong.
Here's a nice explanation.
Verb Conjugation & Spelling
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.
Subject | Verb | The Rest of the sentence |
|---|---|---|
I / you / we / they | speak / learn | English at home |
he / she / it | speaks / learns | English at home |
The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.
- go – goes
- catch – catches
- wash – washes
- kiss – kisses
- fix – fixes
- buzz – buzzes
2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.
- marry – marries
- study – studies
- carry – carries
- worry – worries
NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.
- play – plays
- enjoy – enjoys
- say – says
Negative Contractions
Don't = Do not
Doesn't = Does notI don't like meat = I do not like meat.
