EXTRA PRACTISE - Pronunciation of regular verbs in the past

As you know, the pronunciation of regular verbs in the past is a bit tricky. But don't worry! We just need to pay some extra attention to the things we listen to and we will be able to pronounce correctly in no time 😉

Here we have some songs that might help. 

The first one is Maniac by Conan Gray. Listen to it and read the lyrics (this is just the first part of the song). Pay attention to the pronunciation of the highlighted verbs.

                                                      

You were with your friends partying

When the alcohol kicked in

Said you wanted me dead

So, you show up at my home, all alone

With a shovel and a rose

Do you think I'm a joke? 'Cause

People like you always want back what they can't have

But I'm past that and you know that

So you should turn back to your rat pack, tell 'em I'm trash

Tell all of your friends that I'm crazy and drive you mad

That I'm such a stalker, a watcher, a psychopath

And tell them you hate me and dated me just for laughs

So, why do you call me and tell me you want me back?

You maniac

The next song is "A day in the life" by The Beatles(again, this is just a fragment). Pay attention to the highlighted verbs.

(Start listening from 2:15)

Woke up, fell out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

REMEMBER! Songs can help us but since the most important thing is the music, some things can be said in a different way.
