Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Regular e.g. play-played
- Revise main and auxiliary verbs by having learners identify them in sentences.
- Introduce learners to the concept of regular verbs:
- Regular verbs form their past tense by adding "d" or "ed"
e.g. play= played, walk= walked, bake= baked
- Elicit examples from learners and have them used sentences.
- The irregular verbs form their past tense differently. They do not add "d" or "ed".
- Provide a passage having regular and irregular verbs in the present tense.
- Learners rewrite the sentences in the past.
