Past Tense — supplementary matching practice
Match present- and past-tense verb forms, including irregular verbs. Follow the game with a short piece of your own writing.
Proof: Supplementary practice only. Sets contain both regular and irregular verbs. Matching does not demonstrate independent recall, correcting over-regularised writing, or recount writing. Only matching was exercised; advertised sentence-completion and reordering stages were not verified. Parent prompt: “Tell me the past forms of go, see, run, and tell. Then write a short account of yesterday using five irregular past-tense verbs. Read it together and check the verb forms.” This is an added parent activity, not a feature verified inside the game.

- Write a short recount using at least five irregular past-tense verbs accurately
“When your child writes about something that happened in the past with an irregular verb — like "run" or "sit" — do they write "ran" and "sat" rather than "runned" and "sitted"?”
