T goes over Google Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16aJgqVzCc8sS5pbo26D3aovLo7we0FhrHFwpDszXitA/edit?usp=sharing Slide 1 Clarifications: After second question: When we use the simple past, that means the action has already been completed. It is not happening anymore. Ask question about pronunciation of was: Is it /woes/ or /woez/? Slide 2: Q about pronunciation: How do you pronounce that word? Is it liv-ED or livd? Slide 7 Clarification: The past participle is different from the simple past. In many cases, they are the same, especially when they have the "ed" endings. When it comes to irregular verbs, you would have to learn all of the different forms of both past simple and past participle.
Now you will get into breakout rooms again and answer some more questions based on what we just went over. You will have 7 minutes to complete these; the first two are done for you. https://forms.gle/vyLEjGU4c2qojgUN9 Additional resource: Link with the most commonly used irregular past forms: https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/unreg_verben.htm Answers: 1B: did. got 2A.
