Watch this video to revise the pronunciation of regular verbs in the past.
Go straight to minute 8:05 ("Remember") if you just need a summary of the rules, but watch the whole lesson if you still have doubts or if you need more practice.



NOTE:There is ONE mistake in the transcription of one of the verbs. Which one? Write it as a comment below.
