Irregular past tense verbs

不规则过去时动词

Description

Form and use the past tense of frequently occurring irregular verbs correctly (e.g., sat, hid, told, went, came, ran), recognising that these do not follow the regular -ed pattern

Mastery Evidence
  • Supply the correct past tense of common irregular verbs: go→went, see→saw, run→ran, tell→told
  • Correct over-regularised forms in writing (e.g. change 'goed' to 'went', 'hided' to 'hid')
  • Write a short recount using at least five irregular past-tense verbs accurately
Assessment Prompt

When your child writes about something that happened in the past with an irregular verb — like "run" or "sit" — do they write "ran" and "sat" rather than "runned" and "sitted"?
