Topic 9: 如何教小朋友記英文不規則動詞的過去式?(the past tense of the irregular verbs) (Parts 6-7) 

先給孩子一個小小測試:
Please write down the simple past form of the verbs below.
1. Drive -->
2. Meet -->
3. Hide -->
4. Think ->
5. Sleep -->
6. Break -->
7. Wear -->
8. Lay -->
9. Read -->
10. Fly -->

今次為大家講解最後兩個規則:
規則六:轉法不變
如: put --> put
註:read --> read 的轉法不變,只是讀音不同

規則七:不定的轉法
凡非規則一至六的方法,便歸在此類,如:go --> went , fly --> flew 

只要記住這七個規則,已能大致掌握不規則動詞的過去式,其他的便是規則動詞 (regular verbs)的轉法了(即 -ed)。

Topic 7: in/on the bus?

以下哪一句正確?

1. I am in the bus.
2. I am on the bus.

究竟 ' in' 和 'on' 分別適用於哪些交通工具呢?
其實我們大致用可站立和不可站立來分類:
可站立的用 'on', 不可站立的用 'in'
如:
on: the bus/the train/the ferry/the plane/the cable car
in: the car/the taxi/the van

至於車站,則一律用 'at',如:
at: the bus stop/the taxi stand/the airport/the MTR station。

Topic 6:
如何教小朋友記英文不規則動詞的過去式? (the past tense of the irregular verbs) (Part 4)

今次為大家講解規則四:

規則四:-e 的組合
-e 的變化有幾種,如:
-end --> -ent (e.g. send --> sent)
-ell --> -old (e.g. sell --> sold)
-eep --> -ept (e.g. sleep --> slept)
-eel --> -elt (e.g. feel --> felt)
-eak --> -oke (e.g. break -> broke)
-eal --> -ole (e.g. steal --> stole)
-ear --> ore (e.g. wear --> wore)
註:hear --> heard (NOT hore)

記住這幾個變化,當一些類似的生字出現時,便不難找出過去式:
如 'Weep',依據以上的規則,過去式便是 'wept'了。

Topic 5: Dates 日期

今次我們轉換一下話題。

以下哪一句不正確?
1. The closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics was held on the 21st August.
2. The closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics was held on 21st August.
3. The closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics was held on the twenty-first of August.

以上句子,我們應讀成第3句,而寫法則應寫成第2句 (21st August / 21 August) 或第3句 (the twenty- first of August)。
至於第1句 (the 21st August),無論讀和寫都是不正確的。

註:過去式下期再續

Topic 4: 如何教小朋友記英文不規則動詞的過去式? (Part 3)(the past tense of the irregular verbs)

有些小朋友會把"thank"當作是"think"的過去式,如果記住了以下的規則,以後便不會弄錯了!

規則三:-ought/-aught
在這個組別的不規則動詞大概如下:
buy --> bought
bring --> brought
think --> thought
fight --> fought
seek --> sought*(seek --> sought 在高小的練習才出現)

teach --> taught

catch --> caught

小二升小三的小朋友,趁著暑假可以開始以這個易記易學的方法慢慢學習過去式;小三以上的小朋友,也可當作重温呀!
