Irregular Verbs - type 1-2-3 - ACTIVITIES ?
|
I am trying to make a complete list of grammar topics with past simple verb and past participle:
Irregular PAST (V2) is used in:
Past Simple - (mime what I did yesterday, last ..., x ago)
reported speech - present simple -> past simple
wish clause - (I wish you were here.)
It�s high time - It�s high time we went. It�s about time I finished this.
conditional II - If she saw him, she would warn him.
PAST PARTICIPLE (V3) used in:
passive - is / was / has been + V3, will be + V3, is going to be + V3
Having + V3 - Having ridden for 10 miles I felt exhausted.
Causative - have something done, will not have .... V3
perfect tenses - present / past / future perfect
adjective - before noun - (broken arm),
modals - should have / might have / must have + V3,
conditional III - If they had seen it, they would have written a report.
reported speech - have + V3 / past simple -> had + V3
perfect passive - was + V3 TO verb - The boy was seen to enter the house.
perfect gerund - Verb + being +V3 - I like being read thrillers.
Any MORE topics with V2/V3 I should cover?
I have written a comprehensive list of those verbs and I have made a spinner to play games... I will share it at eslprintables soon, but now I need your ideas... I want to make a complete project on those irregular verbs, so please help... I will write games on Conditional II x Conditional III, reported speech, games on past simple x present perfect + signal words (ago, last, since, already...)
And your game ideas? Grammar ideas?

Hi!
Causative: to have a picture taken
use of will in the sense of something not allowed: I won �t have this house turned into a mess.
I �ve just logged in after working a lot, my ideas are not that clear... LOL
I �ll think about and will return to it later.
(Already expecting for a GREAT ws of yours...)
Have a nice day / evening. |

Most of the ideas are good. One thing I �d like to see is that the language students are asked to produce is natural. Some of the constructions are very rare and quite awkward when used in real life.
E.g. Having ridden for 10 miles... (nobody would ever use this). I like being read thrillers (only if you �re blind, and even then you �d probably listen to an audio book on your mp3-player anyway. The boy was seen to enter the house. (should be �was seen entering the house �).
Anyway, thx for your ideas and effort.

Ok, Philip. Thanks for your comments! I know that some constructions are old-fashioned and rare...
I �ll check my grammar books for correct examples. I won �t make any awkward sentences... Thanks for pointing out...
Maybe I will check the classics (Mark Twain, Jane Austen etc...)
