Teaching notes

Fourteen common verbs to sort by their past simple form: regular verbs that take -ed (walk, listen, dance, study) and irregular ones that change (come, drink, sleep, give, read). It suits A2 learners who are starting to tell stories in the past and need to know which verbs to learn by heart.

Before each drop, ask the learner to say the past form aloud, and point out the spelling of danced and studied. Afterwards, pairs pick three verbs from each group and write true sentences about yesterday. To vary it, play it live so every learner sorts on their own phone, or print it and ask learners to write the past form next to each verb.
