3. Task 1 : Use the sentences to find out how to form the affirmative form of P.P.S. Have / Has + past participle Follow-up questions: ? Why to use ‘have’ and ‘has’. Where is the difference? ? What is the past participle? Think of regular and irregular verbs.

Irregular verbs -the third column in the irregular verb chart -unfortunately you have to study all of these forms  – but you can make it -e.g. do-did-DONE see-saw-SEEN go-went-GONE

5. Past Participle-Exceptions in spelling when adding -ed After a final –e add d only e.g. live-lived Final -y after a consonant becomes –ied e.g. worry-worried Final -y after a vowel is not changed e.g. play-played One-syllable verb ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel – final consonant must be doubled e.g. stop - stopped
