Writing Prompts ~ Irregular Verbs

Posted by: Tara Benwell

Writing Prompt: Irregular verbs are tricky to learn because the past simple and past participle form do not follow the usual -ed ending. It’s necessary to memorize and practise the most common irregular verb endings because they are used quite often in English. Review this reference chart and list of irregular verbs. Then practise using them by writing about a dream you had. Your dream doesn’t have to be real. Use as many irregular verbs as you can.

Last night I dreamt that I bent my fingers back all the way until they were broken. Just before that, I had hurt my back (I fell off a horse). I think I spent the whole night tossing and turning from these bad dreams. Later I dreamt that my sister shut the car door on my hand. When I saw that she was about to do it, I tore my coat off and my other hand got stuck, too. Instead of helping me, my sister sang the national anthem. After she had sung the whole thing, she lent me a hand and opened the car door. When I woke up (I awoke in a terrible sweat), I spent the rest of the night trying to figure out what the dream meant.

  Last night, I had a dream that I went into a haunted house. You had to sign a waver to go into the house. In this haunted house people have ended up with broken fingers, toes,arms and etc. People have had tore and ripped shirts, jeans. A lot of people have got hurt in this haunted house. We spent 3 hours waiting in line to get our tickets. We saw people coming out crying and shocked. Scary people came up singing in your ear and screaming. After I woke up from my dream, and realized what happened.

  Two nights ago, I dreamt that I started floating all of a sudden. I hovered over buildings and bridges. After meeting with another person, who also happened to be flying, I cried and then woke up.
