Swan Class - Apostrophes for Omission

Today, we will be focusing on turning two words into contractions and using apostrophes to show omission (where we have missed out a letter or letters). You will complete tasks around using an apostrophe in this way and then move on to applying this to full sentences. Follow the video through and complete the tasks. By the end of the lesson, you should feel confident about using apostrophes in this way. 

Present Prefect tense

The Present Perfect Tense connects the past to the present. It describes an action that happened in the past and goes right to the present moment. In todays lesson you are going to learn how to identify the present perfect tense and how to form a sentence using the present perfect tense.
