*Show and tell!

 

Each and every one of you are to give a small presentation of something that is important to you. It might be a book, a hobby (if you play football, put on your football outfit), a pet (bring a picture) etc.

*Irregular verbs

Most verbs are conjugated (blir bøyd) like this:

INFINITIVE PAST SIMPLE PAST PARTICIPLE

However, there are some verbs that are different. These verbs are called irregular verbs. In Key English there is a list of all the most important irregular verbs.

Learn them by heart (you might be tested) and write ten sentences where you use each verb in either the past simple tense (preteritum) or the past participle tense (perfektum).
