$GRAMMAR Irregular Past Tense Verbs
ID: l4-s18
INTRO: You've been hearing "bought", "sold", and "took" all through this part. Some verbs refuse to take "-ed" in the past — here are the rebels, in small groups.
CARD: Many common verbs change their vowel instead of adding **-ed**. These change to an "a" sound:
{begin} → {began}
{drink} → {drank}
{sit} → {sat}
{swim} → {swam}
CARD: These take a new vowel sound in the past:
{come} → {came}
{know} → {knew}
{write} → {wrote}
{drive} → {drove}
{speak} → {spoke}
{choose} → {chose}
{wake up} → {woke up}
{get up} → {got up}
CARD: These have their own special past forms:
{eat} → {ate}
{take} → {took}
{take off} → {took off}
{stand} → {stood}
{see} → {saw}
{wear} → {wore}
{have} → {had}
{do} → {did}
CARD: These end in a "t" or "d" sound in the past:
{hear} → {heard}
{say} → {said}
{sell} → {sold}
{leave} → {left}
{sleep} → {slept}
{buy} → {bought}
{bring} → {brought}
CARD: A few don't change at all — and two change completely:
{put} → {put}
{put on} → {put on}
{read} → {read}
{cost} → {cost}
{fly} → {flew}
{go} → {went}
SUMMARY:
| PRESENT | PAST | | PRESENT | PAST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| begin | began | | hear | heard |
| drink | drank | | say | said |

$GRAMMAR "How Much" Questions
ID: l4-s11
INTRO: There are two ways to ask any price — with "cost" or with "is" and "are". Here's the pattern.
CARD: To ask a price with the verb **cost**, use **do** or **does**:
{How much does the shirt cost?}
{How much do the shoes cost?}
CARD: You can ask the same thing with **is** and **are** — shorter, same meaning:
{How much is the shirt?}
{How much is it?}
{How much are the shoes?}
{How much are they?}
CARD: For the past, use **did**, **was**, and **were**:
{How much did the shirt cost?}
{How much was the shirt?}
{How much were the shoes?}
{How much were they?}
SUMMARY:
| PRESENT | PAST |
|---|---|
| How much does the shirt cost? | How much did the shirt cost? |
