Session 1
Eat, ate, eaten... Verbs in English don't always follow the -ed pattern, so we're focussing on irregular verbs in this session. Listen to 6 Minute Vocabulary, and then do some activities to show off your verb skills!
Activity 3
Holiday snaps
Do you know the correct form?
Let's do one more activity. In this one we'll test how well you know the different forms of these irregular verbs, by taking part in a conversation that has lots of examples of them.
Imagine you've just got back from a lovely holiday and you're telling your very patient friend all about it. You're looking through all the snaps (photographs) you took.
To do
Complete the conversation with the correct forms of these verbs. Do you need the infinitive, the past simple, or the past participle form? And which is which? If you really need to, have a look at the grammar area on this page.
