How do we talk about things that are finished? This lesson teaches the past simple step by step, using education examples (She graduated in 2019, He got a diploma five years ago). Learners compare present and past forms, learn the spelling rules for regular verbs (-ed, -d, doubling the consonant, y → ied) and meet common irregular verbs (do, have, take, get, go). They also practise the three endings of -ed (/t/, /d/, /ɪd/) with a listening sort, change sentences into past-tense questions with Did, and finish with two speaking games: “two truths and a lie” and finding experiences they have in common. This is Lesson 3 of a five-lesson series.
