Topic/Skill: Past tense irregular verbs
Feedback provided to tutee: Diana and I continued going
over past tense irregular verbs. Some feedback for Diana was to be careful on where
she added her regular verbs in her sentences. For example, Diana tried to come
up with a sentence for the verb “did.” So she said, “Yesterday I did ironing my
clothes.” I pointed to “iron” and told her it was the wrong form, and so she
changed it to ironed, and then I told her it was still wrong. We discussed how
and why the sentence should be “I did iron my clothes yesterday” as well as how
she could use “ironed” in a similar sentence. Most of the error correction in
this lesson was fixing Diana’s mix-ups between the infinitive, the –ed form,
and the –ing form of various verbs.
Lesson(s) about tutoring and/or the tutee you learned: Diana learns concepts very quickly. She is extremely
intelligent, she is just getting stumped by the irregular verbs because they
are so weird. Whenever I explain to her what a new vocabulary word is, she
really gets into it and is able to come up with new thoughts and ways to use it
for her sentence building. She excels well when we speak verbally, but she
likes to make sure her spelling is correct when she writes it down.
