🎯 Lesson Goal
Learn common irregular verbs in the past simple tense and use them in everyday situations.
🧠 Grammar Focus
We use irregular verbs to talk about actions that happened in the past. These verbs do not follow regular rules (they don’t just add -ed). We use them to say what someone did yesterday, last week, or before. The past form is different for each irregular verb. For example, ‘go’ changes to ‘went’, and ‘have’ changes to ‘had’. Use them to tell stories, say what happened, or talk about past events. The structure is: Subject + irregular verb (past). Examples: I went to the park. She had a big dinner. They saw a movie. We took a taxi home. He made a cake.
