Trede 1 – Revision
Onderdelen in deze les
Open the lesson by naming the four revision areas. Keep the tone light and clear: this is a review lesson, not new grammar.
Learning goals
Aan het einde van de les, kan ik…
de dagen van de week en maanden in het Engels noemen
rangtelwoorden gebruiken, zoals first, second, third
de present simple gebruiken
am, is en are gebruiken
have en has gebruiken
The teacher supplied several goals. Keep them visible because this is a revision lesson covering several Trede 1 topics.
Eén Engels woord dat je al kent over dit onderwerp?
Use the cloud to activate prior knowledge. Accept days, months, numbers, am/is/are, have/has, or simple verbs such as play.
Today
Praat in het Engels over vandaag.
Welke dag is het vandaag?
Welke maand is het?
Geef een volledig antwoord:
Today is …
It is …
Use this as a quick oral warm-up. Let Basis students answer with the sentence frames on the slide.
Hoofdletters
In het Engels beginnen dagen en maanden met een hoofdletter.
Goed:
Today is Monday.
Niet goed:
Today is monday.
today is Monday.
Today are Monday.
Point out that the last sentence is also wrong because we say 'Today is Monday', not 'Today are Monday'.
Days of the week
Monday =
Tuesday =
Wednesday =
Thursday =
Friday =
Saturday =
Sunday =
Read the days together once. You can clap the rhythm for Wednesday and Thursday if needed.
Dagen - NE & EN
EN
NE
Monday
Wednesday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
maandag
woensdag
vrijdag
zaterdag
zondag
Use this as matching support. Basis students can connect the pairs; Kader/Mavo can say them without looking for long.
Which sentence is correct?
Today are Monday.
Today is monday.
today is Monday.
Today is Monday.
Checks both capital letters and the verb 'is'.

Numbers and ordinal numbers
1st = first
2nd = second
3rd = third
4th = fourth
5th = fifth
6th = sixth
7th = seventh
8th = eighth
9th = ninth
10th = tenth
Do not rush pronunciation. Third, fifth and eighth may need extra modelling.
How do ordinal numbers work?
1 → st
2 → nd
3 → rd
most other numbers → th
Important exceptions:
11th
12th
13th
Keep the rule simple. Students only need the basic pattern and the common exceptions for this revision lesson.
More ordinal numbers
Look at the ending.
21st = twenty-first
22nd = twenty-second
23rd = twenty-third
Explain that 21, 22 and 23 follow the last number: 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Ordinal numbers check
3rd = third
5th = fifth
21st = twenty-first
10th = tenth
Use this as a quick check before moving to dates.
Dates in English
We use ordinal numbers in dates.
5 October = the fifth of October
21 March = the twenty-first of March
1 January = the first of January
Model the phrase 'the ... of ...' clearly. Students often try to say only the number.
Dates practice
Write this date in English.
8 April = the eighth of April
Sentence frame:
My birthday is on the ______ of ______.
Invite a few students to complete the birthday sentence aloud. Basis students can copy the frame exactly.
What is 21st?
twenty-third
twenty-first
twenty-second
twenty-tenth
Distractors use nearby ordinal patterns from the content slides.
Write 8 April in English.

Ordinal numbers and dates
My birthday is on the first of January. My friend's birthday is on the twenty-first of March.
Uses the sentence frame and date model from the slides.
Present simple: when do we use it?
We use the present simple for:
habits
routines
facts
Examples:
I play football.
We go to school.
She likes music.
Keep the idea practical: things you do often, things that are normal, and things that are true.
Present simple: verb form
Usually add -s.
He plays football.
She likes music.
It works well.
I / you / we / they
He / she / it
Use the normal verb.
I play football.
They play football.
We go to school.
Stress the contrast clearly. This is the key rule students need for the later mixed revision.
Present simple: -es forms
Some verbs take -es.
go → goes
do → does
watch → watches
You do not need a full spelling rule here. Keep it as useful examples for recognition and use.
Present simple check
Choose the correct form.
She plays football.
They watch Netflix.
My brother goes to school.
For stronger students, ask why each answer is correct: plural subject or he/she/it subject.
Adverbs of frequency
always = altijd
usually = meestal
often = vaak
sometimes = soms
never = nooit
ever = ooit
Tell students that these words help us say how often something happens.
Frequency scale
100% → always
usually
often
sometimes
0% → never
You can gesture from high to low or draw a quick line on the board to support meaning.
Frequency practice
Meaning:
usually = meestal
Complete the sentence:
I __ play games after school.
I __ eat breakfast.
Possible answers:
always, usually, often, sometimes, never
Accept more than one logical answer for the open sentences. The goal is correct word use, not one fixed response.
My brother ___ to school.
go
goes
do
watches
Checks he/she/it plus an -es verb.
Present simple
I play football after school. She likes music. They watch Netflix, but my brother goes to school by bike.
Reuses examples students have just seen: normal verb, -s form, and -es form.
I ______ eat breakfast.
Accept any logical adverb of frequency from the word bank: always, usually, often, sometimes, never.
To be
I am
you are
he is
she is
it is
we are
they are
Read the forms together once. Keep the pattern visible for support.
To be: examples
I am 12 years old.
She is Dutch.
We are students.
Quick check:
I _ thirteen years old. → am
They _ students. → are
Emphasise that age uses 'am/is/are' in English: 'I am 12 years old.'
To have
I have
you have
he has
she has
it has
we have
they have
The key point is the change to 'has' with he, she and it.
To have: examples
Remember:
he / she / it = has
She _ a dog. → has
We _ two cats. → have
Contrast this with present simple verbs: here students just need have/has, not a full verb rule discussion again.
Mixed revision
woensdag = Wednesday
He _ football every Friday. → plays
Sarah _ a cat. → has
We _ friends. → are
nooit = never
5th = fifth
Use this slide to connect all topics and let students see that they can switch between them.
Make the sentence
Put the words in the correct order.
often / games / I / play
- I often play games.
has / she / a dog
- She has a dog.
For Mavo students, ask why 'often' goes after the subject here. Keep it simple for Basis: subject + adverb + verb + rest.
She ___ a dog.
have
has
am
are
Checks the contrast between have/has and to be forms.
Mixed revision
We are friends. He plays football every Friday. Sarah has a cat. She often plays games.
Combines to be, present simple, to have, and adverbs of frequency.
Make a sentence with: often / games / I / play
