I also teach Junior high/ middle school and I have found that the only way I can get my pupils to learn the Irregular verb list is by dictations - 20 words each week - 10 words each row so there won �t be any copying.
Then I give them some practice sentences where the have to change the V1/ base form verb ( in brackets) to Past Simple.
Hope this helps. |

I find cloze to be a wonderful way to teach verb forms. The same cloze can be used for various tenses, (with minor changes: eg: yesterday/now.) Practice, Practice, Practice, until it just becomes natural.

Hiya, i wrote sth about the past simple here: http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=9179&page=2of course, that is only the initial presentation of it ... then, what follows is speaking, speaking, speaking, using the past simple in their own sentences. That is the best way for them to learn it, not by doing exercises, because it is closest to how we learn the mother tongue. Also, you can take a look at a vid where i was teaching past simple using power point: negatives 5 1
True False - past simple
