This lesson plan is for a 4th year secondary level English class with 15 students. The lesson focuses on teaching the simple past tense and negative forms of verbs. It includes warm-up activities to review verbs, presentations and explanations of regular and irregular past forms and how to make sentences negative, and several interactive activities for students to practice forming negative sentences in the past tense. The plan aims to get students comfortable talking about past events and differentiate between regular and irregular verb forms in the past tense.
