Step 1 Lead-in Find the secret word. T: Boys and girls, I have a secret word. You can get it by finishing the word puzzle. Look at the pictures and get the suitable words one by one.

T: Well done. Look! What’s the secret word? S: Rabbit. T: Yes. It’s Mr Rabbit. Step 2 Presentation

1. Finish the diary. T: Mr Rabbit wrote a diary, but some words are missing. Please help him finish it with the correct forms of the given words. 2. Past forms of verbs. T: Very good! Look at some verbs and the past forms on the screen. And they can be divided into two groups. What are they? S: Regular verbs and irregular verbs. T: Right. And do you still remember the changing rules of regular verbs? Let’s review them. No.1, pass and passed. S: 结尾直接加ed。

T: Yes. No. 2, notice and noticed. S: 结尾是e的动词加d。

T: Correct. No. 3, try and tried. S: 结尾是“辅音字母

+ y”的动词，先变y为i，再加ed。

T: Great. No. 4, stop and stopped. S: 结尾只有一个辅音字母的重读闭音节词，先双写这个辅音字母，再加ed。

3. Time expressions.

T: Look at the two sentences. Why should we use the simple past tense? S: Because of “that day” and “the other day”. T: Yes. Do you know any other time expressions referring to the simple past tense? Look at the screen, and I’ll give you some hints. 4. Look and say. T: Fill in the blanks using the simple past tense.

S: Alice was outside one sunny day.

T: Yes. That means …

S: She was not at home one sunny day.

T: That’s it. We use “wasn’t” or “was not” to form the negative sentence. Then look at the next picture and fill in the blanks.

S: They were in the field.

S: They weren’t on the playground.

T: Right. We use “weren’t” or “were not” to form the negative sentence. We know that Alice jumped into the hole after the rabbit. Why?

S: She didn’t want the rabbit to get away.

T: So we can also use “didn’t do” or “did not do” to form negative sentences.

T: Now let’s work out the rule. If we want to make negative sentences with simple past tense, we can use wasn’t, weren’t and didn’t. 5. Practice.
