to your irregular verbs workout fall fall fell falling fall fall fell falling
choose chose chosen bye
bring bring brought brought
think thought thought get get got gotten get
get got got okay everybody that's it for your irregular verbs workout the first one
we have this verb here tear tear i know that we also have tear but tear is when you do this
so it means to rip something to tear so a lot of people don't know the past of this irregular verb
neither do they know the past participle so in this case
let me tell you a story i remember a long long time ago i was teaching a big group of students
back in toronto and i remember that i had just started the class and i bent down to pick up a
book and i hear this oh my gosh it was my pants in the back yes i tore my pants so this was a very
embarrassing situation i was luckily able to uh take my briefcase and put it behind me
and i quickly drove home put on another pair of pants 10 minutes later started the class so i tore
my pants now how many times have i torn my pants that was the only time thank god yes and luckily
there was a solution to it so as you can see here in both my examples i use the verb tear in
the past i tore my pants and i can also use it in the past participle torn so now i ask you the same
question have you ever torn some piece of clothing in public let me know in your comments i'm gonna
love this the last few ones that i'm going to tell you is just to help you remember we have hide
hid hidden that can be difficult and then we have ride road ridden they sound very similar
at the beginning but then they totally change so i'm going to ask you another question have
you ever ridden a horse another difficult one that often pops up in my class is choose
chose chosen i think that there is some confusion with choose and choice choose chose chosen
so if you had to choose between this and that what would you choose another one teach taught taught
think thought thought this has given my students a lot of difficulty too just because they sound
so similar we also have buy bought bought and bring brought brought they sound very similar so
it's one thing to say i brought my mother-in-law another thing to say i bought my mother-in-law and
bonus a lot of people often who learn british and american english we have
american english get got gotten and british english get got god now we will understand
both here in north america you can use either but just to let you know which one we normally use
the next one we have feel and we have fall a lot of people will mix these up
yes so in case you don't remember it's feel felt felt fall fell fallen now i know what
you're thinking you're thinking that these two verbs sound very similar they look very similar
and you're completely right so hopefully with the story you're going to remember it better
so i'm going to ask you maybe you can tell me a story is that have you ever fallen down fallen
have you ever fallen down and have you ever felt extremely happy or maybe i could say when was the
last time you felt extremely happy so one more story i know there was this one guy i won't say
who and he did a diet for two months no sugar no dessert no sugar in the coffee nothing and one
day he visited his neighbor and his neighbor offered him a nice glass of whiskey now he
didn't want to offend the neighbor and say hey i'm on a diet so he accepted that and
what happened all of that sugar gave him a huge rush and he fell down he fell down and he felt
really out of it he fainted okay everybody i hope that this review of irregular verbs and my little
