Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Infer the needed verb form from sentence grammar

Teaching tips

  • Have learners annotate each item with past, in progress, or base-form clue language.
  • Compare two sentences that use the same verb form for different grammatical reasons.

Skills covered

  • Contextual grammar — surrounding words determine the missing form.
  • Irregular tense knowledge — went replaces a regular past construction.
