Learning Irregular Verbs
|
Hello!Do you know any good and effective ways/tricks to learn the list of the irregular verbs? I mean, without having the list in front of you, always saying "be, was, been", "be, was, been", etc... (that �s how I learnt it, by the way...  )
I have a private student and would like to give her some tips so that she can memorize the verbs more easily...
Thanks a lot in advance.

I encourage the pupils to group the verbs into families. The "ought/aught" family - catch, fight, teach, buy etc. The "o-i �en" family - drive, write, ride etc. The "no change" family - put, cut etc.
By identifying and grouping similar verbs into groups themselves (maybe as a class activity) and discussing their reasons for associating different verbs in the same family, pupils are more likely to remember them. An alphabetical list is far too abstract. |
