- SIMPLE PAST WITH SOME REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS.
At this point the students will know some regular and irregular verbs in different ways besides; they will carry out different activities in order for them to have a better comprehension about the topic. On the other hand, they will be involved into playful activities and at the same time, they will do a lots of English pronunciations, listen to music (memorize and practice the pronunciation), watch films and videos and discuss about them, and they will be met in virtual games too.
Finally, they will make works involving the topic to work.
- HOW TO EXPRESS WHAT IT DID?
- For solving this question, I plan the next activities:
- Pictures of actions with flash cards before and after.( play, work, study, cook, drink, listen, draw, eat, write, sleep, get up, read, speak, and go).
- Pronunciation of verbs.
- Simple sentences
- Creation of sentences through of pictures
- Read short stories in past.
- Watch videos and movies.
- Cross words
- Writing and oral activities.
- English tests.
- SIMPLE PAST.
- Explanation and definition of regular and irregular verbs:
Regulars verbs:
Regular verbs have the simple past and the past participle spelled like the present tense except the past tenses have a “d” or “ed” added to the regular form. Example:
Spanish |
|
Present |
|
Participle |
|
To Play |
Play |
|
|
Irregulars verbs:
Irregular verbs are common verbs in the English language that do not follow the simple system of adding “d” or “ed” to the end of the word to form the past tense. That means the spellings can be a little tricky. Some irregular verbs follow patterns, such as drink–drank, spring–sprang, know-knew, and blow-blew but you can’t use those patterns with predictability. Unfortunately, learning irregular verbs means memorization. Example:
Spanish |
|
Present |
|
Participle |
Tomar o beber |
To drink |
|
Drank |
|

Explanation about simple past:
PAST SIMPLE: REGULAR VERBS- EXERCISES
USE 1 Completed Action in the Past
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
Examples:
- I saw a movie yesterday.
- I didn't see a play yesterday.
- Last year, I traveled to Japan.
- Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
- Did you have dinner last night?
- She washed her car.
- He didn't wash his car.
USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Examples:
- I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
- He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.
- Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?
USE 3 Duration in Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.
Examples:
- I lived in Brazil for two years.
- Shauna studied Japanese for five years.
- They sat at the beach all day.
- They did not stay at the party the entire time.
- We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
- A: How long did you wait for them?
B: We waited for one hour.
USE 4 Habits in the Past
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.
Examples:
- I studied French when I was a child.
- He played the violin.
- He didn't play the piano.
- Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?
- She worked at the movie theater after school.
- They never went to school, they always skipped class.
USE 5 Past Facts or Generalizations
The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression "used to."
Examples:
- She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing.
- He didn't like tomatoes before.
- Did you live in Texas when you were a kid?
- People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past.
IMPORTANT When-Clauses Happen First
Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I dropped my pen..." or "when class began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important. The examples below contain when-clauses.
Examples:
- When I paid her one dollar, she answered my question.
- She answered my question when I paid her one dollar.
When-clauses are important because they always happen first when both clauses are in the Simple Past. Both of the examples above mean the same thing: first, I paid her one dollar, and then, she answered my question. It is not important whether "when I paid her one dollar" is at the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence. However, the example below has a different meaning. First, she answered my question, and then, I paid her one dollar.
- Make questions about the topic for knowing if students identify the past and present tense, then write sentences on the board for them to identify what tense we are talking about.
- Make oral sentences using the regulars and irregulars verbs saw in the lesson.
- Complete exercises with the correct verbs.
- In the lesson , we will implement some important activities such as:
- Organization of sentences.
- Short stories reading.
- Complete with games.
- English test.
- Discussions about the topic
- At this point, we´ll carry out the activities follow:
- Each student will write things that they did in a time before.
- They will ask questions themselves about things they did in a past.
- They will analyze what they wrote and build their own story.
- At home, they will work on topics studied about the lesson and prepare a story (scenes) telling what it was.
- Evaluation activities:
- Students will do the exercises provided by the teacher in order to check the learn of irregular and regulars verbs saw in class.
- Students will prepare a presentation and will say sentences in past according the flash cards .
- Students will complete an evaluation make a match about the word with the pictures, complete exercises with the verbs and the correspond translations.
- Students will do an online test related to the topic
