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"?”
