Talking About the Past: guided A2 practice

What this module changes

This module focuses on Talking About the Past. You begin by learning to i can say where I was and how it was. The final lesson asks you to i can talk about yesterday as easily as today without copying the original model.

Level: A2. There are 7 connected lessons. Complete them in order if the topic is new, or use the list to locate one specific gap.

The lesson map

What useful practice looks like

• Was and Were: I can say where I was and how it was.
• Past Simple: Worked, Played: I can talk about finished actions with -ed verbs.
• The First 25 Irregular Verbs: I can use the most common irregular past forms.

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

A practical study routine

1. Read the lesson objective before the explanation.
2. Say the model aloud once, then change at least two details.
3. Complete the check without opening the answer first.
4. Record or write the mission on your own device.
5. At the checkpoint, name one error you corrected and one skill that still needs practice.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at A2; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
