In today’s Maltese lesson for third-grade students, the teacher explained the concept of the present tense as it relates to verbs. Students learned that verbs describe actions, such as “running” or “eating,” and can be categorized into three tenses: past, present, and future. The lesson focused on how to form the present tense by modifying the beginning letters of the verb, with examples like “jiena nikteb” (I write) and “inti tikteb” (you write). Students were encouraged to practice with various verbs to enhance their understanding of this grammatical structure.
