Irregular Verb Past Tense Practice for 5th Grade
A short practice packet that reviews common irregular verbs (go, see, have, eat, do, run) and their past tense forms, with a reference table and example sentences. It builds grammar and writing mechanics for 5th grade English language learners and is well suited to a brief independent or partner practice block.
“Create a correction paragraph using irregular verbs for ELL students to build confidence in writing mechanics”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or mini-lesson before a writing task, with about 10 minutes to walk through the verb table and a further 10-15 minutes for the quick check.
- Discussion question: Why do you think irregular verbs don't follow the -ed pattern, and can you name another verb that changes in a surprising way?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students read each example sentence aloud, circle the past tense verb, and say the present tense form before writing the past tense.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a short paragraph about yesterday using at least four irregular past tense verbs from the table or others they know.
- Estimated time: about 25 to 30 minutes total, including review and the quick check.
