New Year, New Practice Tip

Happy New Year!  Here's a quick practice idea to work on present and past tense verbs.  Notice the ng sound at the ends of the present tense verbs (be sure to use ng, not n or ngk).  Noticed the final t and final d consonant clusters on the past tense verbs.  Try these phrases, using the recording to listen for the patterns:

This year, I plan on walking a lot.  Last year, I walked a lot.
This year,  I plan on cooking at home.  Last year, I cooked at home.
This year, I plan on working more efficiently.  Last year, I worked too much.
This year, I plan on traveling.  Last year, I traveled a little bit.
This year, I plan on exercising regularly.  Last year, I exercised a lot.
This year, I plan on talking to my family.  Last year, I talked to them often.
