When I arrived at school and started my lessons.

Exposure (4-5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text.

Highlighting (3-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Now, in the future or in past? Is she brushing her teeth now? No, it is in the past. -Ask them what the difference is in these verbs to provide form. They will probably point to '-ed'. -Tell SS 'So if we are talking about the past we use the verb' and stop for a second, underline the -ed first and try to elicit from Ss. -Then tell Ss that we add '-ed' for past form of the regular verbs. Also, point out that we can say V2 for this. -Tell Ss that what if there is -y at the end of the verb, wait again and try to elicit after then tell them we add –ied. -Write the base forms and V2 to drill and show the difference. -Repeat and drill the verbs for pronunciation. -Show the video and ask them to repeat the song with verbs that they have learned.
