Catherine

That's right, and today well look at three different groups of irregular verbs. So, lets start

Neil: Ill ring it for you  � Ill just get my phone… out… … my pocket… Oh, this is your

phone! You put it on my desk by mistake… So, where have I my phone? I always put

it in my pocket…

Catherine

So we asked you: How many times has Abdullah this week?

Catherine

Ring… rang… rung. So, past simple of ring is rang, and the past participle is rung.

simple and past participle.

Mike: I didnt say you ‘�took��’ it. I just said ‘Have you seen it?’

Neil: I saw it on desk this morning.

Mike: I cant see it here!

Catherine

…and taken is the past participle.

Finn

We also heard see, saw and seen.

Catherine

…three different again. See is the main verb, saw is the past simple…

Finn

…and seen is the past participle.

Catherine
