Who It’s For: Teachers & Independent (Fundamental) Learners of Regular & Irregular Base + Simple-Past Verb Forms

Why You Need It: English instructors used to teach—and language learners used to memorize—the “Three Principle Parts” of every verb: the Base Form without endings, the Simple Past, and the Past Participle (useful in constructions acquired at “higher levels” of study).  At Basic Levels, only two of these require attention: the base form for use in simple present sentences (sometimes with -(e)s added) or in infinitives—and the simple past form in the affirmative past.

As in most “word-level” instruction, Word-Card Activities & Games attract interest and motivate learning. With this concise Activity & Idea Book, you or your students can (re-)convince yourselves that acquiring grammar-based vocabulary can be painless or even fun. So can using new items in meaningful contexts. Whether you prefer to construct / produce Card Decks yourself—or to purchase and download Parts & Pieces D-08.08 from WorkLife English.com, these pages offer a wealth of info and ideas for using them in effective and efficient grammar lessons.
