As my tutor had just learned Past Tense, w\We practiced the
Past Tense using sentence examples until he felt comfortable with it. Example:
I walked to the library (regular verb + ed).
Example: I did not say you stole my read hat. (irregular verb). This foundation level TP was already familiar
with irregular verbs. We spent the rest
of the session practicing Stress and Intonation with the previous example. The TP found it easiest to stress Pronouns
(e.g. I, you, my). He did not initially
pickup on stressing other words such as "not". I then pointed out and example from his speech,
when he was trying to explain the word fence and he had stress
"not". The light came on. I should take notes or record his speech
during out sessions, so I can find more examples of grammar and
stress/intonation that he uses naturally.
