Arrange the jumbled sentences in a proper orderV. Homework1. Practice book pagePeriod FourLanguage and SpeakingTalking about the past 1. Tell students we can use the simple past tense to talk about things that happened in the past. eg. He reported the robbery.2. Write some regular verbs and sentences on the board and tell students all the verbs in the sentences below are in the simple past tense.Ask them how to form past tense verbs. visit I visited Hongkong last summer. invent Wibur and Orville Wright invented the aeroplane in 1896. finish He finished all his work one hour ago.3. Explain that regular verbs add ed or d to base form to make the past tense form. Point out that the simple past tense is the same for all persons.Change the base form into the past tense form: look / add / call / play / fail / remember Practise saying three different ways of pronouncing the past tense forms of verbs./t/ /d/ /id/crossed agreed endedhelped apologized scoldedlaughed carried recordedpressed turned liftedswitched used visited4. Adding ed/-d to some verbs causes spelling changes.We only add d to verbs that end in e, eg. noticed, stared, moved, named.We change the y to I and add ed to some of the verbs that end in y, eg. carried, hurried. Note: the verbs play and enjoy although ending in y, do not obey the ruleSome verbs double their final consonants when ed is added, eg. dailled, stopped.Many verbs are irregular in form. We do not add ed to them. Irregular verbs have to be learnt by heart. We can divide them into four different kinds. Here are some common irregular verbs:Infinitive simple past past participle A A Acost cost costput put put A B Acome came comerun ran run A B Bbuy bought boughtget got gothear heard heardleave left leftpay paid paidsay said saidstand stood stoodteach taught taughtA B Cbe was/were beenbreak broke brokendo did donedrive drove drivenfall fell fallengive gave givengo went goneknow knew known ring rang rungsee saw seenspeak spoke spokensteal stole stolentake took taken5. Practise some sentences:listen and say the sentences. (SB p41A2 )practice contrasting the simple past and the simple present. Put the following chart about Mary on the board.Ten years ago Now . Age: 3 (be) 14. Height: 0.9m (be) 1.5m Weight: 13kg (weigh) 41kg. Hair: short (have) long. Glasses: No (wear) yesAsk questions to elicit answers practicing ten years ago. Replies must use verbs in brackets.How old was Mary ten years ago?How tall was she and how much did she weigh ten years ago?What kind of hair did she have ten yer ago?Did she wear glasses ten years ago? As answers are given, write them on the board to make a paragraph about Mary ten years ago. Then ask students to give a paragraph about Mary now. Ten years ago, Mary was three years old. She was 0.9 metres tall and weighted 13 kilos. She had short hair and she did not wear glasses. Now Mary was 14 years old. She was1.5 metres tall and weighted 41 kilos. She has long hair.
