Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students classify verbs as regular or irregular based on whether the past tense adds -ed or changes form.
Students write the correct past-tense form of a given verb.
Students select or supply the correct past-tense verb to complete a sentence in context.
Teaching tips
Use page 4's circle-the-correct-spelling activity as a quick check for common irregular-verb misspellings such as 'bended' for 'bent' and 'buyed' for 'bought.'
Assign the picture-cued page 8 to students who benefit from an image alongside the verb before writing its past tense.
To practice the varying formats and overlapping verb sets, spread the fourteen pages across several short sessions rather than assigning them all at once.
Skills covered
Regular/irregular verb classification — students sort or label verbs across the packet as regular (-ed) or irregular (changed form).
Past-tense formation — students write the correct past-tense form of a base verb.
Spelling discrimination — students choose the correctly spelled irregular past tense over a plausible misspelling, such as 'bent' versus 'bended.'
