A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Personal answers in the key are examples, not required responses.
- Complete the did questions about getting, having, going, talking, watching and buying.
- Write yesterday or recent-past answers, checking irregular forms such as got, had, went and bought.
- Reorder the cooking, going-out and friend's journey questions.
Support and extension
Provide a small irregular-verb bank. After did use the base verb, even when the answer uses an irregular past form.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
