Last week we studied the regular past tense ending of "-ed". We discovered the three sounds it makes and we learned what the pattern is for each sound. This week we are going to focus in on words that are very common in our language, but do not use "-ed" to form past tense. Most of these words change a vowel within the word to signify past tense, others change more significantly. Since there is no real pattern to when a word makes these changes, and these are words that students need to learn and know, I am giving the students all of the words that will be tested on Friday. This should give them ample time to practice these words and to become familiar with some of the most common irregular past tense words!
(This is a list I added this year, in response to a need I saw in our students, so I do not have it on our website. I wanted to make you aware of the change in list order so you knew which words to practice.)
