Teaching notes

Twelve questions on the past simple: regular -ed verbs and their spelling (visited, stopped), common irregular forms such as had, ran, met and heard, did in questions, and didn't with the base form. It suits A2 learners who are starting to talk about last weekend or a holiday.

Where a question has a time word, such as yesterday or last night, ask the class to find it before they answer. Afterwards, ask pairs to ask each other three "Did you…?" questions about yesterday and reply with short answers. Print it with the answer key for a quick test, or switch it to Gameshow for a team round.
