IRREGULAR VERBS - PRONUNCIATION




It's not a secret that English pronunciation is not easy to master.
The irregular verbs are no exception.
If you know how to write the word but still curious how to say it,
the links below might be of help .


-------------  1  -------------

You can type in a particular verb form into the box of an online dictionary,
e.g.  this one 
and you can listen to it by clicking on the small speaker icon next to the word.

-------------  2  -------------

Or click on one of the verbs you need
on the list   here .

-------------  3  -------------

Study with Quizlet  here .

-------------  4  -------------

In case you want to learn the irregular verbs the American way,
go  here .

-------------  5  -------------

Finally, complete the worksheet  engo-lingo has prepared for you.


It's always worth getting familiar with the
phonetic alphabet .

----------------------------


BUT
the listening alone won't help!
Do lots of 'listen and repeat'.
(And I don't mean 'I do 60 min. of drills every day' but rather
'I try to repeat a new word a few times out loud if I find it difficult or useful' approach.)
Besides, be happy and enjoy your day! =)

IRREGULAR VERBS - CATEGORIES



Though called irregular, there are some patterns they follow.
The worksheet below presents only a few ways the irregular verbs can be categorised.
You can start with the categories on the worksheet,
and then extend it by adding other categories in your notebook.


And please

πŸ’¨
don't think it's a waste of time to copy something from your book onto a piece of paper.
The more times your brain processes a piece of information, the better chance the data will be retained in your long term memory.

πŸ’¨
don't be afraid to use different colours, fonts, layouts while taking your notes.
It will also help your brain internalise the piece of information you want to learn.
Especially if you are a visual learner.

And here comes the worksheet you should feel free to use, reuse and overuse.
