What are Irregular Verbs?
Irregular verbs are verbs that do not follow the standard rules of conjugation in English. Unlike regular verbs, which form the past simple and past participle by adding “-ed” (e.g., walk -> walked), irregular verbs change in unique ways.
Why Do We Use Irregular Verbs?
Irregular verbs are deeply rooted in the English language, often because of their origins in Old English or other Germanic languages. They are commonly used, and knowing them helps speakers sound more fluent and natural.
Irregular Verb Forms
In English, verbs can have three main forms:
Base Form: The root form of the verb (e.g., go, see, buy)
Past Simple: The form used for past events (e.g., went, saw, bought)
Past Participle: The form used in perfect tenses and the passive voice (e.g., gone, seen, bought)
Understanding these forms is essential for forming correct sentences in past and perfect tenses. This ebook will help you and your students with that.
The Montessori method is not just an educational system but a way of fostering a child’s natural curiosity and drive to learn. Founded by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, this approach is built on the belief that children are inherently motivated to explore and learn from their environment. Montessori education places the child at the center of their learning process, with the teacher acting as a guide rather than a traditional instructor.
A Montessori teacher is more of an observer and guide than a conventional teacher. Rather than imparting knowledge through lectures, the teacher prepares the environment, provides the materials, and steps back to allow the child to explore.
In this eBook, we will explore the key components of the Montessori curriculum, with a focus on the practical application for novice teachers. We will delve into each subject area, discussing the key materials, lessons, and developmental stages, as well as offer practical examples of activities and lessons for you to implement in your classroom.
Austrian philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner established the Waldorf educational approach in 1919. The basis of Waldorf education lies in Anthroposophy’s belief that humans have a body, soul, and spirit that develop over time. Steiner believed that education must nurture these facets collectively to shape holistic individuals capable of making innovative and empathetic contributions to society.
The main emphasis of the Waldorf philosophy is on a student-focused method, adjusting the curriculum to meet the distinct developmental needs of children at different stages of life. Learning in education focuses on arts, movement, storytelling, and nature, offering a hands-on and experiential educational experience. This contrasts with conventional, exam-driven educational methods, as Waldorf seeks to develop emotional intelligence, creativity, and social awareness, in addition to intellectual skills.
This ebook contains all the necessary information about the principles, philosophy, and various stages of the Waldorf Curriculum. It also describes the subjects and assessments of it.
Reported Speech, also known as Indirect Speech, is an important part of conversational English because it requires repeating someone else’s words.
English language students need to learn and practice the Reported Speech, since it is used in various situations to convey information or repeat someone else’s words. This ebook will focus only on instances where the reporting verb is in past tense (such as said, told, etc.), necessitating a shift to past tense in the reported clause for practical reasons. For example: ‘I am going to the super market’ becomes ‘He said that he was going to the super market’. It is also possible to report someone’s words in the present without any tense change. For example: ‘He says he is going to the super market’.
This ebook can help students learn how to use Reported Speech, understand its purpose, and practice through various interactive exercises. The solutions are given towards the conclusion of the book.
At first, passive voice might appear complex, but once you get acquainted with it, the fundamental structures stay the same. The ability to switch between passive and active voices is beneficial for intermediate to advanced English learners as it can prevent miscommunications, boost politeness, and enhance language abilities. This is a detailed explanation of the occasions where the passive voice should be used in the English language.
Passive voice emphasizes the recipient of the action rather than the doer (agent) of the action. The passive voice is created by us using:
The action was received by the object (by the doer of the action).
Incorporating the part related to the agent (by + person who performed the action) is not mandatory and varies based on the situation. The aim of using passive voice is to highlight the action rather than the agent, therefore including information about the agent could be redundant or stating the obvious.
This in-depth manual details the formation and usage of the Passive Voice, including numerous examples and practice exercises. The answer key can be located at the conclusion of the book.
Education in Botswana is free, but it is not compulsory. The Ministry of Education has authority over all of Botswana’s educational structure except the University of Botswana. The educational structure mirrors that of the United Kingdom: there is universal access to primary and junior secondary school, but a process of academic selectivity reduces entrance to the senior secondary school and the university. However, educational curricula incorporate prevocational preparation in the junior and senior secondary schools.
The building’s design aligned with Vision 2036 for Botswana’s economic development and the United Nations SDG 4: Quality Education.
The objective of the BCF is to offer a thorough educational program focused on developing skills, to ready students for a world that is always evolving and connected. It is created to help students succeed academically and enhance necessary skills for personal growth, job opportunities, and participation in community affairs.
This ebook is a complete manual for teachers aiming to acquaint themselves with the Botswana curriculum.
Creating if-then statements is a common aspect of your mother tongue, and incorporating them into your English discussions can greatly enhance your communication skills. In total, there are four conditionals that you will gradually learn to use, beginning with the most basic ones: the zero and first conditional. Take a glance at this overview to get a general understanding of how all conditionals function and when to apply them.
A sentence with a condition relies on the word ‘if’. Conditional sentences consist of two parts - the first part starts with ‘if’ to depict a potential scenario, while the second part explains the result. Input: “The company experienced a significant decrease in profits due to the economic downturn.”
Paraphrased: “The economic downturn led to a large decrease in profits for the company.”
If it starts raining, we will become soaked.
The meaning remains the same even when the two parts are switched.
Check out this practical ebook guide to find out how the conditionals are form, when and how they are used, and plenty of practice for your students.
