Practicing Past Simple , negative form, I tell my students wrong sentences about them, the sentences are usually funny, students should say the negative form, then tell me the correct sentence. For example: Alex, you fought with a crocodile yesterday. - No, I didn �t fight with a crocodile. I played football yesterday.

Turn them back off. Then ask the class - Right - who can tell me what he did? First, he... (elicit answers.) Emphasise the �t � or �d � sound. Write a couple on the board, showing +ed. Get another couple of volunteers, with different actions - add some irregulars. I ask mine to stand on the desk, then jump off it; water my plant, clean the window - a couple of fun things.
