Irregular Verbs in Action
Adults practise common English irregular verbs (go, eat, see, have, do, make, take, come, know, think, get, say, find, give, tell, become, leave, feel, try, ask, need, mean, seem, help) through communicative speaking tasks. Players move around a 24-space board, completing pair conversations, team discussions, mime challenges, and mini-presentations anchored to real-world scenarios.
