Descripció

In this activity we work on listening comprehension using a video from the British Council which can be found on YouTube.   
The students have to introduce the missing regular verbs in the past tense. Then, we explain the difference in pronunciation between them and they will be classified into the three different groups. Finally, we will ask five simple comprehension questions.   
This activity can last for one session.  
  
The aim is to practise the simple past tense of regular verbs and their pronunciation.   
Common past actions and situations. Sound patterns.
