Ma perché devo fare gli esercizi d’inglese sui verbi irregolari? La grammatica inglese è così facile!
OK, OK tutto vero. Ma è anche vero l’inglese non è privo di difficoltà per chi lo studia come seconda lingua e che una di queste difficoltà sono proprio i verbi irregolari. 😩
Infatti, la maggior parte dei verbi inglesi ha il Past Simple e il Past participle in -ed: worked, lived, played, studied, ma… c’è un ma! Moltissimi verbi presentano forme irregolari.
Come fare per sapere quali? Be’ bisogna studiarli, annotarli quando li incontriamo in un film, un post sui social media o una serie tv, e poi fare un sacco di esercizi.
Eh sì: practice makes perfect, anche in grammatica!
Per questa ragione, Novakid, la scuola che organizza corsi di inglese online per bambini in 49 paesi del mondo ti ha preparato questo set di esercizi sui verbi irregolari inglesi.
Che tuo figlio o tua figlia abbiano seguito solo un corso di inglese per principianti o abbiano almeno un livello di inglese 3 media, dove il Past simple già si è affrontato, questa esercitazione verbi irregolari inglese è per loro (e per te😉)!
I verbi irregolari inglesi
