Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recall the Malay equivalent of one hundred high-frequency English verbs, and the English equivalent of each Malay verb

  • Recognise the English infinitive - "to" plus the base verb - as the form dictionaries and word lists use

  • Choose between two Malay renderings of one English verb by context, as with "Memanggil / menelefon" for to call

Teaching tips

  • Begin with a small set of familiar verbs such as to be, to have, to do, and to say, then add new cards gradually

  • The slashed entries make good discussion cards: ask learners when "Melihat" fits and when "memandang" fits before accepting either as the answer for to look

  • Pair the cards with sentence work of your own, since the deck supplies the verb in citation form only and never shows it inside a sentence

Skills covered

  • Bilingual vocabulary recall - each card sets an English infinitive directly above its Malay equivalent, so a Malay-speaking learner drills from the known language to the target one and back.

  • Choosing between near-synonyms - around a dozen cards offer two Malay renderings for one English verb, which can support discussion when the teacher supplies a sentence context.

  • Building core action vocabulary - the deck runs from to be, to have and to do through to less common items such as to consider, to suggest and to develop.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Do any of the English verbs share the same Malay word?

Several do. Melihat appears for both to see and to look, Bercakap covers to talk and to speak, Membawa is given for to bring and for to carry, and Tinggal is used for to live and to stay - useful pairs to compare side by side once learners have both cards.

How does the deck begin and end?

It begins with verbs such as to be, to have, to do, and to say. The final page includes to sell, to decide, to return, to explain, to hope, to develop, to carry, to break, to agree, and to allow.

What is printed on each card besides the two words?

Nothing else. Each card carries the English infinitive and the Malay translation beneath it - no picture, no example sentence and no conjugated form - so the cards drill meaning and leave usage to be modelled around them.
