Discussion Elicit verbs that students know and remember. You can go back to the list
from U6L1. As students produce these verbs, write them on the board in
two columns: Regular / Irregular Verbs.
Help students along by reminding them of irregular verbs like:
teach / go / have / eat / drink / fight / give / understand
Give each list a title: Regular / Irregular Verbs.
Elicit the difference between the two lists.
Show the past form of these irregular verbs and explain why there are
many irregular verbs (because theyre all verbs we use a lot).
Introduce the seven new verbs in this lesson, and ask students to add
them to the appropriate list:
dream dreamed / feel felt / lose lost / speak spoke /
take took / wake up woke up / win won

verbs to add to their lists.
