Grammar Focus

Present Simple: subject + verb (base form or -s for third person singular)

Use the present simple to talk about facts, habits, and things that are generally true. For he, she, or it, add -s to the verb.

“ Wolf is a student at Magic School.

Tip: Remember to add -s to the verb when the subject is he, she, or it (e.g., he finds, she asks).

Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

Possessive adjectives show who something belongs to. They come before a noun.

“ His friend Rabbit asks, "Have you seen my moonstone?"

Tip: Match the possessive adjective to the owner: my for I, your for you, his for he, her for she, etc.

Present Perfect: have/has + past participle (for experience or recent events)

Use the present perfect to ask or talk about experiences or actions that happened at an unspecified time before now.

“ Have you seen my moonstone?

Tip: Use 'have' with I, you, we, they and 'has' with he, she, it. The past participle of 'see' is 'seen'.
