All learning English steadily stumble on rules of the use of times whom smart natives from the Foggy Albion thought up much. But on their zazubrivaniye of ordeal on learning English do not come to an end, it is necessary to decide still how quickly to learn irregular verbs. Without them communication will be impossible as the majority of the most widespread verbs and are that wrong to which it is impossible just to add the necessary termination. The most obvious decision is usual cramming with repeated repetition of three forms of a verb until they set the teeth on edge, and the brain will not refuse to perceive any word of the English speech. But why so to torment itself if it is possible to simplify this hated process a little?
How quickly to learn irregular verbs on English?
- Prepare for yourself cards. Write an infinitive of a verb and its transcription on the face, and on a reverse side – two other forms and the translation. Having at hand such crib, it is simpler to learn as it will not be necessary to distract and look for information in long tables all the time. Besides you will be able to have cards in a convenient order and to learn verbs according to own schedule. Of course, it is possible to use ready plates, but it is better to make cards independently as it will help to involve also motor memory.
- How it is possible to learn quickly irregular verbs on English if in their formation of not considerably any logic? Somewhere the termination is added, somewhere the form changes only once, and somewhere at all remains invariable – continuous confusion! But this moment can serve also good service: divide all material into groups, having taken the general sign as a basis. And then begin to learn also, on groups, it much more simply, especially, if to remember about verbs at which three forms are identical (shut, cost, cut, etc.).
- One of the easiest decisions as it is easier to learn irregular verbs of English is use of poetic images. For example:
The treasure was looked for by one odd fellow,
Round month of dig-dug-dug,
Find-found-found it, at last
From metal all chest.
Right there is think-thought-thought,
What will smartly heal.
Take-took-taken it is the axe
Also broke a chest a lock.
Before to unlock a chest
Go-went-gone home to take a nap,
And all night long in a dream the goof
Drive-drove-driven Mercedes,
Eat-ate-eaten pineapples
It is a lot of foods from meat...
Fly-flew-flown in clouds,
Keep-kept-kept a chest in hands,
Spent-spent-spent without account money,
Build-built-built to fazendas …
But awake-awoke-awoken,
speak-spoke-spoken word,
Run-ran-run it at full speed
Find-found-found in a chest a hook.
- Try not just to cram three forms of a verb, and to use them in offers. For example, learned say-said-said, and at once thought up three offers (let very simple) in which they used each form of a verb. It will help not only to remember better words, but also will connect them with times and also to force to repeat once again rules of the use that too is useful.
- Some make a mistake, learning only three forms of a verb, forgetting about the translation. Then it is necessary to use the efforts to remember a word meaning, that is to do double work. Therefore it is better to learn irregular verbs with the translation at once.
Well and of course, before cramming, accurately decide on the purposes and the available time – you need to begin to communicate in several days or you have an opportunity to grind the knowledge not one week? There is a lot of irregular verbs in English, but only about 180 pieces are often used, and for elementary communication this quantity can be cut still by half.
