Students complete nine sentences using irregular past forms — played hide-and-seek, a kite flying now, and finishing homework by next Friday. The matching activity pairs four irregular verbs — go, teach, think, and break — with their correct past tense forms: went, taught, thought, and broke.
Practicing irregular past tense forms through matching is the most effective way to build automatic recall.
