Activity:
Teacher will put students in pairs and ask them to write 2-3 sentences on their notebooks about something they had done, in their own life, and Teacher will instruct them that the sentences should be in past tense.
Lesson Body:
Activity 1:
Teacher will provide the students a worksheet where they have to write down some regrets they’ve had in the past. By this Activity Teacher will make them learn to practise the use of hypothetical past with the past perfect.
Activity 2:
Teacher will provide another worksheet where students describe actions they had completed at a specific time in the past. Objective of the worksheet is to provide controlled practise for using the past perfect tense in a personal and meaningful way and understand the use of the past perfect tense vs. the single past.
Activity 3:
Teacher will arrange students in a circle and have one person express an action in the simple past. For example, “I came to class today”. The next person in the circle must then convert that sentence to Reported speech, “she said that she had come to class today”. Then the second person then makes a past statement, and the next person in the circle changes it to reported speech. Continue until the first person converts the last student’s past statement to reported speech.
Lesson closing:
Teacher will ask any volunteer student to come in front of the class and revise what they’ve learned in today’s class. After the revision the teacher will assign them the Home Assignment.
