Grammar on the Beat

V6

[Verse 1] I am ready, you are too, He is happy, she is too. We are learning, they are here, Match the subject, make it clear. I play games; she plays each day, Present simple—habits come this way. Watch, watches; study, studies, Say the changes with your buddies. Do you like music? Yes, I do. Does she like music? She does too. She doesn’t like noise—like stays the same, After does, the base form stays in the game. [Chorus] Go, went, gone—keep the rhythm strong, See, saw, seen—come and rap along. Read it, say it, write it, then, Close the book and try again! [Verse 2] Base, past, past participle—three forms to know, Eat, ate, eaten—say them nice and slow. Take, took, taken—hear the words we say, Play, played, played—practise every day. Yesterday, I walked to school, Past simple tells that story—that’s our tool. Last night, she ate some rice, Ate, not eat—check the sentence twice. Did she eat? Yes, she did. She didn’t eat—no ate after did. I was tired; you were too, Was and were are past be—match them to who. [Chorus] Go, went, gone—keep the rhythm strong, See, saw, seen—come and rap along. Read it, say it, write it, then, Close the book and try again! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Right now, I’m reading, you’re reading too, She’s reading a story—what about you? Am, is, are plus the I-N-G, An action happening now—that’s what we see. Make becomes making—drop that final E, Run becomes running—double N with me. Now one step further, a new form to try, Have or has plus a participle—here is why: Past connects to now: I’ve lost my key, I still can’t find it—can you help me? She has eaten; she feels full today, Has plus eaten—not ate in that place. [Bridge] Who, what, where—read what questions say, When asks for time; how asks the way. Find the subject, check the time, Read the whole sentence, not just the rhyme. Cover, recall, then check what you wrote, Make a new sentence in your study note. Come back tomorrow, give it another try, Little steps build skills as the days go by. [Final Chorus] Go, went, gone—keep the rhythm strong, See, saw, seen—come and rap along. Read it, say it, write it, then, Close the book and try again!
