2.1 Lesson
Introduction
-
Good Morning ! How are you today ?
Before
we start our new lesson , which is somehow related to the previous ones , lets quickly review what
we
already know .
- Rabih ! What do you know
about the Simple past tense ?
-
We use the Simple past tense when we have a definite time in the past and a
past habit , answered Rabih .
-
.and
when the action was completed in the past , added Raya .
-
Good students ! Now lets see , can you give me an example ,
.Ralph !
- Yes , miss . I went to school everyday last month .
-
Good , you seem to have understood ; what about the present perfect tense ?
[ The teacher waits for one
minute then says :] Leyla!
-
We use the present perfect when we have an indefinite time before now ,
answered Leyla.
-
What else , Leyla ?
-
Eh ,
.I dont remember !
-
Let me give you an example : I ( to visit )
this restaurant 4 times this week . Which tense do you use here
, Leyla ?
-The present perfect .
- Why ?
-
Because
.. started Rabih .
-
Dont answer , Rabih , give Leyla a chance ! So , Leyla , why do you use the present
perfect in this sentence ?
-
Because
we have a repeated action ? , said Leyla shyly .
-
Excellent , Leyla , so what will the sentence be ?
-
I have visited this restaurant 4 times this week .
-
Okay , now , everyone , in order to be able to use the Simple past tense and
the present perfect tense correctly , what are we supposed to have studied
excellently ?
-
The Irregular verbs !! , answered all the students at the same time .
-
And I suppose you know them very well !
-Please
, miss , ask me a few questions about them ! said Makram .
2.2 Open-Ended Phase
-
No , not now ; lets switch to something else . I have
a set of cards with me , and I
will give each one of you a card
.
OK , now , I want you , very
silently , to read the different sentences on the cards .
[ 5 minutes later ] What did
you notice ? [ Wait for a while , then ] Karl ?
-
The same sentences are written twice , on both sides !? .
-
Yes they are , but nothing different ?
. Jad ?
-
Yes , the verbs
.
-
NO , not all the verbs , Kathy explains , only a few !
-
What about these few verbs ,
Kathy ?
-
I dont know
they are difficult
.
-
But , Miss, we dont say Ann seated on a chair ! said Ayoub .
-
Good , Ayoub , what do we say , then ?
-
We say Ann sit on a chair .
-
Sit ??! Ayoub !!
-
Excuse me , miss , sat is the past of verb to sit .
-
OK , dont you have this sentence on your card , Ayoub ?
-
Yes ,I do , on the other side .
-
Then , what can you say about it ?
-
My sentence is wrong , too !, interrupted Ali , Can we say , if you are tired ,you should lay down ?
-
Answer the question yourself , Ali .
-
No , we cant , because verb to lay is a transitive verb and we dont have an
object in this sentence !
-
Excellent , Ali , so what can we say about the sentences on each side ?
-
Miss , miss , said Halim , I know !
-
What , Halim , what do you know ?
-
On one side you wrote correct sentences and on the other wrong ones !
-
Very good !What else can you say ?
-
We have the same verbs on both sides , but they are switched , answered
Marcel .
-
Why are they switched? Arent they correct when they are switched ?
-
No , we cannot use them both ways ! said Tarek .
-
Which verbs do you have , Tarek ?
-
I have to brake and to break .We cant say , dont brake this vase !
-
Why not ?
-
We brake the car , it means we stop it !
-
Excellent , Tarek , now can you give me the objective of this exercise ?
-
Yes , miss, to give us wrong examples .
-
I gave you , Tarek , examples of wrong sentences , but , do you know why ?
-
So that we can know the right from the wrong , answered Salma in a low voice
.
-
Yes , miss , I have verbs to ride and to read and I always confuse between
the two , said Cynthia .
-
Good Cynthia , so , go ahead , why did I give you all these examples ?
-
Can it be so that we wont confuse between the verbs ?
-
Excellent, Cynthia, then we can say that on these cards you have sets of
verbs that are not to be confused.
2.3 Convergent Phase
-
Lets take a look now at the different examples that you have.. Aileen , which
are the verbs on your card?
-
Fell and felt ; The past of to fall and to feel .
-
So here is the first set of verbs ; who would like to write them on the board
?
-
Me
-
Me
-
Me
-
Come , Nabil , go ahead .
[ Nabil starts writing the
sets of verbs his mates give him , then another student comes to the board and so on . The teacher guides
the students so that they explain why a sentence is wrong , and what is the difference in
meaning or in form between the verbs .
2.4 Closure
-
So , what was the objective of todays lesson ?
. Carla?
-
Not to confuse these verbs .
[ Then the teacher asks a few
students to give her the difference between the verbs written on the board and to explain again how they reached
that conclusion . ]
