Week 16
Irregular verbs: go-went, eat-ate, see-saw.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Identifies and uses common irregular verbs in the past simple to describe past actions.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Concept: Irregular verbs do not follow the -ed rule; they change their spelling entirely in the past simple.
• Common pairs: go -> went, eat -> ate, see -> saw, buy -> bought, have -> had, do -> did.
• Contextual use: Describing activities such as traveling, eating traditional food, and seeing sights.

Practical Challenge: Memory Challenge

Play a matching game in pairs to pair base verbs with their irregular past forms, then write a short paragraph about an imaginary trip.

Self-assessment Question: Write the past tense form of: buy, see, eat, go, take without checking notes.
