English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we finished working on the questions of the quiz about health.
Then we continued the lesson about Thanksgiving, studying the text about Squanto.
We focused our attention on the verbs in the preterite (past tense), both on regular verbs (with /ed/) and irregular verbs (without /ed/).
You had to classify the verbs according to their pronunciation.
Here is what you could have written:
Squanto was a Native American. He was from the Patuxet tribe.
He had many roles for the pilgrims:
- he was a helper = he helped them to catch fish.
- he was a guide = he showed / he guided them where to hunt.
- he was a teacher = he taught them how to plant corn.
- he was a friend = he reconciled the Native Americans and the Pilgrims.
| [t] | [id] | [d] |
| help | guide | reconcile |
Irregular verbs:
- come -> came
- be -> was / were
- teach -> taught
....
