Irish Irregular Verbs

St. Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity - Ms. McGurn uses it to explain irregular verbs.  The shamrock is so very versatile! 

To form the past tense form of most verbs, you simply add -ed to the end of the word.  (ie: look, looked)  Irregular verbs are a bit more difficult because you don't add -ed to make them past tense.  The whole word changes depending on its tense.  (ie: eat, ate, have eaten)

 SHAMROCK: the leaf on the left is the present form of the verb, the center leaf is the past, and the leaf on the right is the past with a past participle. 

Students were asked to write a sentence for each of the forms of the irregular verbs.  They did a great job and now my hallway is ready for St. Patrick's Day and for our quiz tomorrow!
