Description
Students learn and practise: the regular past tense: add -ed (walk, walked), spelling rules (danced, studied, stayed, stopped, jumped), time words (yesterday, last week, two days ago) and telling what happened (First..., then...) (ESL / ELL). STEP 1 of ESL Grammar: English Past Tense and Questions Escape Rooms (6 decks, bundle 20% off). Audio (normal + slow), pictures, a Spanish help line on learn cards, read-aloud questions. Story: The Yesterday Shelf: a gentle wave shook the verbs off the story pages at the Tidepage Library, a reef library in a sea cave. 4 rooms, 30 cards. HOW IT WORKS - Room 1: add -ed by ear and in writing. - Room 2: spelling: -e add -d; consonant + y -> ied; vowel + y keeps y. - Room 3: double the last letter (stopped) or not (jumped, visited). - Room 4: time words, story order, What did you do yesterday? SELF-CHECKING WITH HINTS 20 scored cards: taps and typed answers, 2 hints each, answer cards that explain the rule. ACCURACY Answers checked by software from the rules; English + Spanish by AI reviews and speech recognition; AI testers solved it. Not class-tested. SOURCES Standard ESL grammar rules; WIDA ELD Standards Framework (2020); CEFR A1-A2. No endorsement. HOW IT WAS MADE Text: AI help, checked. Art in code.
