DESCRIPTION: Review week — irregular past-tense verbs, clothes and military vocabulary, must/may, military time, punctuation, and a pronunciation reference. No new material.
INTRO: This is review week — no new material, just making sure last week's lessons still obey you. In this part you'll drill the irregular past-tense verbs and answer questions about the past. First, listen and repeat each pair: the present form, then the past.
INSTRUCTION: Listen and repeat each pair (present — past).

$PRODUCE Say What Really Happened
ID: l5-s11
INTRO: You'll hear a sentence about what somebody did NOT do, and see a cue word on screen. Set the record straight: say what really happened, using the past tense.
INSTRUCTION: Change the negative sentence to the affirmative, using the cue.
INTRO: Now some questions about you and your week. Answer aloud in a full sentence, in the past tense. If a question isn't about your life, invent a believable answer — nobody will check whether the television really cost three hundred dollars.
INSTRUCTION: Answer each question aloud in a full sentence.
RUBRIC: The simple past tense is the point — a full-sentence answer in any other tense fails. Accept any grammatical, plausible answer; the learner may invent the details (names, places, prices, times).
# SKIPPED (book): Listening Skills "SAME/DIFFERENT" (word pair discrimination), "LISTEN AND WRITE" (paragraph cloze dictation), and "LISTEN AND CIRCLE" (paragraph comprehension). All are instructor-read with no recorded stimulus, and the exact texts/keys for the paragraphs are not provided in the book. Convertible later if fabricated.

INSTRUCTION: Tap the correct group for the word you hear.
INTRO: Classroom law, review edition. You'll hear a cue — say a full sentence with "You must" or "You must not". Decide which one; the rules haven't changed since last week.
INSTRUCTION: Make a sentence aloud with "must" or "must not".
