$LESSON Lesson 1B

# --- Figure 1 -------------------------------------------------------------
# The book groups past-tense verbs into three columns by the sound of the -ED
# ending (/d/, /t/, /id/); the tape reads each column word by word with repeat
# pauses. One $DIALOGUE REPEAT per column, ONE LINE PER WORD, so the learner
# repeats each word at their own pace. (Word timings via forced alignment.)
