F. Abstraction

Let’s read a short passage

The students walked to their classrooms. The children played in the park. They
laughed at the joke. The good students then helped Mr. Tom with the books. They asked
him a question about the homework. The good students answered the question. Mr. Tom
shouted at the naughty students. When they finished reading, they looked at the pictures.
Comprehension Check-up

1. Where did the student walk?

They walked to their classrooms.
2. What did Mr. Tom do?
He shouted at the naughty students.
3. Where did the children play?
They played in the park.
Now, class, I want you to observe the
passage that we have just read. Can you
find any verbs?
Yes, ma’am.
Can you tell me the verbs in the passage?
Yes, ma’am. Walked, played, laughed,
helped, shouted, finished.
Very good!

Let’s start our discussion. Our lesson for

today is all about past forms of verbs.

The past form of verbs shows that action

was done in the past.

Example:
-The children played in the park.
-The good students answered the
questions.

We use the simple past to list a series of

completed actions in the past.

Do not forget that time markers are also

used in the simple past tense.

*last year, last Monday, last month, last

March, ago, in 1995, this morning, the day
before yesterday

Example:
I cleaned my room yesterday.
I traced the letters last night.

Verbs are categorized into two. The regular

and irregular verbs. Today we will focus on
the regular verbs.

Regular verbs are verbs that form their

past tense by adding –d or –ed.

Ending in –e: add –d

Arrive-arrived
Like-liked
Change-changed

Stephen, can you give me an –e ending

verb and give its past form?
Yes, teacher. Close-closed.
Wow! Great job!

Can you make a sentence with the word

“closed”?
The girl closed the windows in her bedroom
last night.
Wow! Very good!

Ending in consonant: double the last

consonant and add –ed.
Grab-grabbed
Stop-stopped

Ramjul, can you give me a verb with the

consonant ending and its past form?
Yes, teacher. Plan-planned
That’s great!

Can you make a sentence?

Yes, teacher. My dad planned our holiday
trip to Manila yesterday.

Add –ed
Walk- walked
Paint- painted

Stephen, can you give me a verb with the

consonant ending and its past form?
Yes, teacher- Look-looked
Use it in a sentence.
She looked lovely at the party last
weekend.
Perfect!

Ending in y: erase –y and add –ied

Try- tried
Cry- cried

Ramjul, can you give me another example?

Yes, teacher. Study-studied
Correct! Now make it a sentence.
I studied in the library last week.

Great job!
G. Application
