5. GRAMMAR

T:Let’s revise the rules of formation of Past Simple.

P2: We make negatives in the Past Simple with did not ( didn’t).

P3: We make questions in the Past Simple with did and the infinitive of the verbs.

• Teacher shows verbs on the board and asks pupils to put them into the right column Regular or Irregular.

List of the verbs: walk, laugh, smile, ride, play, draw, feel, know, bark, shoot, arrive, start, give, choose, try, sing, read, write, jump, climb, hear, fight, drink, eat.

Pupils write holiday postcards to their friends in Ukraine. They use the Past Simple and this information:

 -where you went
