Hello everyone, welcome back to the One’s Word Global English youtube channel. I am
your host Teacher Steve and I hope all of you are having a great day.
Today we will discuss some irregular verbs in the past tense form.
We will focus on three words, bring, keep, and send.
Our first word is bring.
To bring something is to come to a place with someone or something.
For example, I will bring the cake to the party.
Next is our second word, keep.
To keep is to have and not give away something.
For example, I can keep the money I was given for my work.
And our third word is send.
To send is to deliver something.
For example, I will send the email on my lunch break.
Now that you know the words, let’s look at the irregular verb form in the past tense
for these words.
Bring will turn into brought in the past tense.
Keep will turn into kept in the past tense.
And send will turn into sent in the past tense.
All of these words are irregular verbs, which means the actual word will change and we will
not add E-D to the end of the word to make it past tense.
So the word will actual change in spelling and pronunciation.
Here are some examples.
First word, bring in the past tense is brought.
I brought the cake to the party yesterday.
Our second word is keep and in the past tense, it will change to kept.
I kept all the emails from last month.
And our third word, send, in the past tense will change to sent.
I sent her a birthday gift last year.
You can see how the word changes in the past tense, so let’s try some practice.
Here you will choose which word is correct for each sentence.
Your choices are, bring, brought, keep, kept, send, or sent.
I will ____ my homework to class. I will ____ an email to him later.
I ____ my friend with me to the party. She ____ her mother’s picture in her room.
They will ____ the package to Japan next week. He ____ an email to his manager last week.
Great work, let’s check our answers.
