Focus
Time
Introduce the
three sounds of
regular past
tense verbs, but
lead students
towards
producing the
rule instead of
me simply
listing them.
Lesson activities/assessments
Ask students to listen as I read a list of
verbs written on the board that end in the
‘t’ sound, and then ask them what sound
they hear at the end of the words. Repeat
for verbs ending in ‘d’ sound and ‘-ed’
sound. Once students have identified the
three different sounds, write the rule for
each on the board.

different
sounds of –

saying
different past
tense verbs.
Pass out handout/listening activity sheet.
Explain the two listening activities, and
play recordings for students two or three
times. Review answers with students.
Lead the students in say each verb in
unison. Then, in small groups, have
students take turns choosing a verb to
read from list on handout. Students will
listen to verb being read and write it
down in the appropriate column (t/d/ed)
In pairs, have students talk about what
they did last weekend. The students
listening will write down the verbs they
hear being used by their partner. Ask
students to try and include at least one
verb from every sound group (t/d/ed).
