2. Speaking: The goal is practical application. We want students to confidently share their own stories and experiences.

I played football yesterday.

一般过去时
1.7.2013
This slide introduces the core concept of the Simple Past Tense.
1. **Visual Timeline**: The timeline visually separates 'Now' (present) from 'Past' (before now), helping students grasp the temporal relationship.
2. **Core Definition**: Emphasizes that the tense is used for completed actions or states that are finished and in the past relative to the speaker.
3. **Signal Words**: These are key indicators for students to recognize when to use the simple past. Each card provides a common marker and a brief explanation of its usage context.

Verb Change Magic ✨
Rule 1: +ed
play → played, walk → walked
Eg: I played with my friend.
Rule 2: +d
dance → danced, use → used
Eg: She danced beautifully.
Rule 3: y → i + ed
try → tried, study → studied
Eg: He tried his best.
Rule 4: Double + ed
stop → stopped, plan → planned
Eg: We stopped for lunch.
1.7.2013
This slide presents four basic rules for English verb past tense changes in a simplified, visual "magic card" format.
1. Rule 1: Most verbs simply add "-ed" (e.g., play → played).
2. Rule 2: Verbs ending in an unpronounced "e" add only "-d" (e.g., dance → danced).
3. Rule 3: Verbs ending in "consonant + y" change "y" to "i" and add "-ed" (e.g., try → tried).
4. Rule 4: For CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) stressed syllables, double the final consonant and add "-ed" (e.g., stop → stopped).

Irregular Verbs - Special Ones! 🎯

→ were
They were excited.
see
→ saw
I saw a bird.
forget
→forgot
She forgot her bag.
begin

1.7.2013
This slide introduces some of the most common and special irregular verbs in English.
1. 'is/am' and 'are' are the most fundamental verbs, changing to 'was' and 'were' respectively.
2. 'Begin' changes its vowel sound to become 'began'.
3. 'Forget' and 'see' have unique past forms: 'forgot' and 'saw'.
4. Finally, 'want' and 'climb' are regular verbs (adding -ed) but are often confused with irregular ones, so they are included here for clarity.

1.7.2013
This is the climax of our story. The title "Never Give Up!" sets the tone for the snail's determination.
On the left, we visualize the scene: a snail struggling to climb a tree in the pouring rain. The rain is heavy, the path is slippery, but it doesn't turn back.
On the right, we complete the sentence: "It rained on rainy days, but the snail didn't stop." This reinforces the past tense 'rained' in context.
The interactive Q&A section focuses on the core message: perseverance. Highlighting "It tried its best!" in orange emphasizes that effort and persistence are what matter most, regardless of the outcome.
