In this lesson, Ss learn the past simple of regular verbs. The context is a reading where Ss read a text about people who made big changes in their lives. Ss also practise the pronunciation of -ed endings of regular verbs. Ss then learn more time phrases, which extends what they learnt in Unit 4. The lesson ends with a speaking activity, where Ss discuss the last time they did things and how often they do those things now.
