    English irregular verbs (exercise 1)
    (Time for activity: 25 mins approx.
    Level: elementary to lower intermediate.)
    This exercise may be done with students who have studied the past simple
    but havent formerly studied the present perfect. Usually, by the time
    students get to the post past simple stage, they will have encountered the
    form of the present perfect even though they cant use it accurately at all
    times. All students have to do here is to select the correct form of the verb:
    infinitive, past simple or past participle.
    They dont even need to choose between past simple and present perfect
    because the have auxiliary is already in place. Students just need to know
    that after the have auxiliary the past participle (third column verb forms)
    should be inserted. The objective of the exercise is to focus on meaning and
    awareness of sentence structure with these two tenses and the use of the
    infinitive.
    Answers to cloze test:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.
    6.

    beat
    brought
    blow
    caught
    chose
    cost

    7. become
    8. done
    9. drank
    10. driven
    11. bite
    12. built

    Follow up:
    After the written exercise, you may like to use the material orally. Write the
    verbs beat and win on the board. Ask the class if anyone has been in a
    race or competition. Ask them who they beat, what did they win? Get them
    to use the verbs in context in the past etc.
    Now write up on the board:
    - When did you last bring fast food home? (n 2)
    - When did you last invite people to a meal or drinks in a restaurant or
    bar? (n 6)
    - Do you always drive everywhere? Why? Why not? (n 10)
    Divide into groups and get each group to choose a subject and discuss it
    among themselves in the same way. This should bring out other irregular
    verbs they know too.
    For homework, you could ask students to study this page online:
