PROCEDURE: 1. Attract students’ attention to the worksheet 2. Ask different students to name the actions in the pictures and write them on the board 3. Ask students what kind of verbs they know (elicit regular and irregular) 4. Ask students to open their list of irregular verbs and check which verbs from the board list are irregular. Make sure students know how to pronounce them correctly. 5. Write a statement on the board “Everybody ate dinner with their family yesterday” and discuss what form they see in the statement. Then write “Everybody used their computers yesterday.” Pay students attention to the form of the verb in a statement. 6. Ask students to work in pairs and revise the irregular verbs illustrated by the pictures by saying in turns(in a pair) infinitive form – simple past form (for about 3 minutes). 7. Write an example of Simple Past question on the board (Did you use a lift yesterday?) and ask some student to elicit the answer Yes, I did or No, I didn’t. 8. Pay students’ attention to the structure of the question and the verb form and give out the individual cards explaining that now they are going to receive their own statement to check if it’s true or false.
