Please always write the title of your assignment at the beginning.

Irregular Verbs (Grammar)

This assignment helps you practice past tense of verbs.  These are special verbs called irregular verbs.  Irregular verbs are not regular.  You do not add -ed to the end of the root word to make it past tense.

Examples:

The present tense is bring.  When you change it to past, it becomes brought.
The present tense is fight.  When you change it to past, it becomes fought.

Please find the past tense of the word, or the present tense of the word.  I  need to see both words.  Example:  bring/brought -- write the present tense first, then the past tense next.

1)  choose

2)  found

3)  write

4)  flew

5)  catch

6)  make

7)  rang

8)  sleep

9)  teach

10)  brought

11)  drew

12)  buy

Next, please write twelve sentences using one of the words from each pair.

Conjunctions (Grammar)


Conjunctions are short words that connect different ideas.  Examples of conjunctions:  and, or, and so.  Please write each sentence with the correct conjunction.  Be sure to edit your work and check for mistakes.
