Irregular Biographical Verbs Activity
Match the biographical statements with irregular verbs to a character and then fill in the gaps of their story!
Display the PDF, or send the file to your students. Put students in a maximum of four groups. Give students a time limit (if applicable) to associate the biographical statements with the characters. They must use all of the statements! Once everyone has finished, students will present their characters and determine if they share any storylines with the other groups.
Once students have an outline of their characters, assign each group or individual a character for which they must write a short biography, filling in the gaps between the biographical statements they chose. Set a word limit, time limit, or assign the writing activity for homework. By doing so, students will reuse the irregular verbs found on the PDF, along with creative use of past tenses : past simple, past perfect and past continuous.
Then you can have all students write their own sentence for each character. Then, take turns having students read their sentences out loud. The other students must guess who says what.
