Teaching notes

Eight common irregular verbs to match with their past simple forms: go/went, see/saw, eat/ate and more. It's for A2 learners who are starting to tell stories in the past.

After matching, ask learners to say one true sentence about last weekend with each verb ("I went to my grandmother's"). Switch it to Memory pairs or Flash cards for a second round, or print it with the answer key for a quick test.
