Thanks to Grainger Lock for the following poem and advice.  I found it on the website

"NEW-LANGUAGES" where they believe you learn a new language and you get a new

soul.  Do you agree? 

 

 

 

CHALLENGE                             Who can memorize this poem?

Every place we've been, every song we've sung,

Every fight we've fought, every race we've run,

Every time we've lost our way, we've found a path that leads us through.

Every fear we've felt, every inch we've grown,

Every word we've said, every thought we've known,

Every thing we've done and every thing we do,

Ties a part of me to a part of you.

 

If you can learn this poem, you have learnt 11 irregular verbs in their past participle form.

The poem actually contains 21 irregular verbs.  Each verb has all three of the verb forms

(present, past and past participle).  If you have learnt the entire poem, then you are an

advanced student, who has not only learnt the three forms of 21 irregular verbs but can

also apply them in a phrase.               SO, ARE YOU THAT ADVANCED STUDENT???
