This Real Grammar KS2 resources pack provides everything that you need to successfully explore the present and past perfect progressive tense with your pupils in Year 5 or to revisit this learning. Teaching slides, worksheets, games and an opportunity to apply the new learning in a writing task are all included to create a complete resource to teach the perfect progressive tense.

For these resources, pupils will need to be familiar with the simple past and simple present tense and the progressive and perfect verb forms.

What is a perfect tense?

The perfect tense is used to show how events or actions are related in time or cause.

What is the present perfect tense?

The present perfect tense is used to show that things happened in the past but are still happening, or are still relevant and important now.

The present perfect tense uses the words has / have + the past tense verb.

  • She has walked to school.

What is the past perfect tense?

The past perfect tense is used to show something that happened before something else.

It is formed using had and the past tense form of the verb.

  • She had walked to school.

What is the progressive tense?

The progressive tense is used to show when an action or state is continuing to happen and can either be present or past.

What is the present progressive tense?

The present progressive tense (sometimes called the present continuous tense) is used to show things happening now that may continue for a longer period of time.

It is formed using the verbs is/are/am and the verb ending in the suffix -ing (present participle).

  • She is walking.

What is the past progressive tense?

The past progressive tense (sometimes called the past continuous tense) is used to show something was not finished before something else happened or for something that continued for some time.

It is formed using the verbs was / were and the verb ending in the suffix -ing (present participle).

  • She was walking.

What is the perfect progressive tense?

The perfect progressive can be used in the present or past tense and shows that an action or event is, was or will be continually happening for some time.

What is the present perfect progressive tense?

The present perfect progressive tense is used for something that started happening in the past and is still happening now.

It is formed using have / has + been and the verb ending in the suffix -ing.

  • She has been walking.

What is the past perfect progressive tense?

The past perfect progressive tense is used when something started happening in the past and was still happening at a later time.

It is formed using had + been and the verb ending in the suffix -ing.

  • She had been walking.

What is included in this resource pack?

This pack is divided into five parts:

TEACH

This section includes PowerPoint teaching slides and teaching notes with an optional script to introduce the perfect progressive tense. It can also be used to revisit this aspect of grammar with pupils.

PRACTISE

An independent activity for pupils to practise using what they have been taught, allowing teachers to assess understanding.

REVISIT

A series of short, 10-minute activities that can be used following the TEACH session to revisit and rehearse what has been taught. These may be short writing tasks, grammar games or editing/proofreading activities.

APPLY

A short writing task where pupils can use the grammar skills taught in context to produce independent writing.

REVISE

Five SATs style test questions, including cloze activities and multiple choice quiz questions, based on the grammar that has been taught.

Teachers can choose which section of the resource pack to use according to their pupils’ needs and could use the activities over a series of lessons or weeks

Teacher notes are provided to show how these quality resources could be used with pupils.

How is this resource differentiated?

The PRACTISE and REVISE sections include three activities differentiated for three levels of ability:

  • Worksheet 1 for pupils who may need support. Questions will have a lower cognitive domain (what is being asked of pupils) and/or vocabulary used may be simplified where possible.
  • Worksheet 2 for pupils working at age related expectations.
  • Worksheet 3 for pupils who may need an additional challenge and may be working at a greater depth in this area. Questions will have a higher cognitive domain with more challenging vocabulary.

SUPPORT and CHALLENGE ideas are also included in the teacher notes of each section where relevant, with ideas of how to support pupils working towards the expected standard or at greater depth in this area.
