四.幾個不規則動詞過去式做用字問答練習
下面我們練習幾個不規則動詞過去式. 首先我們學習 pay, p-a-y, pay 的過去式 paid, p-a-i-d, paid. 現在英文老師用 did 提出一些跟學生舞會有關系的過去式問 句, 每問一句, 他就給你一個簡短的答覆, 請你根據他提出的詞組和 paid 來回 答問題. 我先給你舉一個例子.
M: Did the students pay some money for the dance?
M: Yes
F: Yes, the students paid some money for the dance.
好了, 現在我們開始作練習. 每作完一句, 老師會念出正確的答案, 你自己比較 一下, 看作得對不對.

F: Yes, the students paid some money for the dance.
M: Did all of them pay?
