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.
