📚 Part 1: Identifying Irregular Past Tense (Day 1)

I can... identify common irregular verbs and name their past tense forms.

Success criteria: I can list several irregular verbs and choose the correct past tense form.

Differentiation: Struggling learners may use a word bank or the teacher chart. Advanced learners can name extra irregular verbs.

Extension: Try saying each sentence aloud and changing the subject (I, we, he, they).

1. Yesterday, I ______ to the store. (go)

goed

went

gone

2. She ______ quickly to catch the bus. (run)

run

ran

runed

3. They ______ the movie last night. (see)

seen

saw

seed

4. He ______ an apple for lunch. (eat)

eated

ate

eaten

✏️ Part 2: Using and Correcting Irregular Past Tense (Day 2)

I can... use irregular past tense verbs correctly in sentences and correct incorrect uses.

Success criteria: I can rewrite incorrect sentences using the correct past tense and write my own past-tense sentence.

Differentiation: Struggling learners may keep the irregular verb chart nearby or use sentence frames (e.g., "Yesterday, I _____."). Advanced learners write one sentence in present and one in past using the same irregular verb.

Extension: Write a short paragraph describing yesterday and include at least five different irregular past tense verbs.

5. Fill in the blank with the correct past tense: Yesterday, Maria ______ a letter to her friend. (write)
6. Fill in the blank with the correct past tense: I ______ a new backpack yesterday. (buy)
7. Rewrite the sentence using the correct past tense verb: He goed to the library.
8. Check all that form irregular past tenses:

talk

bring

play

take

walk

9. Write one sentence about something you did yesterday using an irregular past tense verb from the list (go, run, see, take, eat, come, write, buy, feel, bring).
