ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 The Word ‘Got’ | Sight Words | Learn to Read with Khan Academy Kids
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about the word “got.” It’s a simple word, but it has an important role in the English language. Let’s dive in and see what it means and how we use it!
The word “got” is spelled G-O-T. It’s the past tense of the word “get.” When we use “get,” it means to receive or obtain something. So, when we say “got,” we’re talking about something that has already been received or obtained in the past.
Here’s an example to help you understand better: Imagine everyone in your class did a great job on their homework. You could say, “Everybody got a star on their homework.” This means that everyone received a star because they did well.
Understanding how to use “got” helps us talk about things that have happened in the past. It’s a handy word that we use often in everyday conversations. By knowing how to use it correctly, you can express yourself more clearly!
So, next time you hear or read the word “got,” you’ll know it’s all about receiving something in the past. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better at using it!
Story Time with “Got”: Gather your favorite toys and create a short story using the word “got.” For example, “The teddy bear got a new hat,” or “The robot got a shiny button.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can come up with their own story using “got.”
Memory Game: Play a memory game with a friend. Take turns saying sentences using “got” to describe something you received in the past. For example, “I got a red apple yesterday.” The next person repeats your sentence and adds their own, “I got a red apple yesterday, and I got a blue ball last week.” See how many sentences you can remember and add!
Observation Challenge: Throughout the day, pay attention to things you receive or obtain. At the end of the day, draw a picture of one thing you “got” and write a sentence about it. For example, “I got a sticker from my teacher today.” Share your drawing and sentence with your family.
