Review and open practice
Only matching was tested. Sentence-completion, reordering, audio and mobile use were not verified. Regular and irregular verbs are mixed.
Opening this link does not save learning or assess mastery.
Open practice (new tab)Parent tips
After matching, ask for the past forms of go, see, run and tell. Write a short account of yesterday using five irregular verbs and check them together. This is a parent-led follow-up, not an assessed game feature.
Source, access and review notes
Match present- and past-tense verb forms, including irregular verbs. Follow the game with a short piece of your own writing.
Supplementary practice only. Sets contain both regular and irregular verbs. Matching does not demonstrate independent recall, correcting over-regularised writing, or recount writing. Only matching was exercised; advertised sentence-completion and reordering stages were not verified. Parent prompt: “Tell me the past forms of go, see, run, and tell. Then write a short account of yesterday using five irregular past-tense verbs. Read it together and check the verb forms.” This is an added parent activity, not a feature verified inside the game.
Tested interaction required no login or payment. AdSense infrastructure observed; individual ad creatives were not audited. The teacher dashboard is optional for public play. Mobile usability, audio, and all content sets remain unverified. Access and advertisements can change.

Check understanding
- Supply the correct past tense of common irregular verbs: go→went, see→saw, run→ran, tell→told
- Correct over-regularised forms in writing (e.g. change 'goed' to 'went', 'hided' to 'hid')
- Write a short recount using at least five irregular past-tense verbs accurately
“When your child writes about something that happened in the past with an irregular verb — like "run" or "sit" — do they write "ran" and "sat" rather than "runned" and "sitted"?”
