Let´s practice the past simple!
THE PAST SIMPLE
In English we use -ED to make the past simple of the regular verbs.
For example: the past simple of the verb WATCH is WATCHED.
But there are some verbs that are irregular verbs and we need to study the past tense.
For example: the past simple of the verb SEE is SAW.
To create the negative in the past we use DIDN´T before the verb.
For example: I didn´t go to the party last weekend.
In the following game you can play memory with some irregular verbs.
In this game you have to complete the sentences with the appropriate tense:
No you have to match the verbs with their past tense: http://www.bradleys-english-school.com/online/matchingpairs/mpiregpast1.html
