Practice
15 minutesWatch for:
- Regularizacao: 'goed', 'goted', 'taked' — o erro mais comum. Corrigir imediatamente com humor: 'Go is SPECIAL — went!'
- didn't + past form: 'I didn't went' — reforcar que didn't + BASE verb, igual aos regulares.
- Did + past form: 'Did you went?' — mesmo erro. Did + BASE verb.
- had breakfast vs had lunch: aluno pode confundir 'had' como passado de ter (posse) vs consumir. Contextualizar: 'I had coffee = I drank coffee.'
- got up vs got: 'got' sozinho pode confundir. Drill as frases completas: got up, got a taxi, got home.
- Dialogo: a piada final ('Homework? You?!') e sobre o Leo fazendo licao de casa — moment de leveza. Ler com surpresa!
- Este e o primeiro contato com irregulares — NAO sobrecarregar. So 5 verbos (get, go, have, do, take). Mais virao nas proximas aulas.
