Talking about the past (Irregular Verbs)

1) Watch the following video and identify the verbs in the past:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLwGIxWKZG0

 Which verbs do you find on the video?

Listen, heard, didn’t propose, know, think, do, did

In the previous lesson, you learnt about the past simple and the regular
verbs in the past. Today, you are going to learn about the irregular verbs
in the past.
Some verbs are regular and we only put D or ED. The name for those
verbs is ‘Regular Verbs’. But, when we have verbs that change
completely or don’t change at all we call them ‘Irregular Verbs’

2) How do we form the past simple using irregular verbs?

Subject+ irregular verb+....
A) Watch the following video (from minute 5:11 to minute 6:01)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYDkHBomOU8
B) Read the sentences and write the formula:

AFFIRMATIVE +
I went shopping yesterday

subject+ Irregular Verb + …

NEGATIVE –
I didn’t go shopping yesterday

😊 Subject + did not + Verb infinitive (Normal verb) + …

 Did you go shopping yesterday?

-Yes, I did / No, I didn’t

Did + subject + Verb infinitive (Normal verb)+…?

Answers: Yes, subject did / No, subject + didn’t

3) To know which the irregular verbs are, we have to memorize the

following list. The verbs in infinitive are the verbs in the ‘normal’ way.
The verbs in the second list are in the past form (irregular verbs).
