Day 2 Notes
\nSummary: We went through the rules that regulate the conjugation of some irregular verbs. I was also given a list of verbs that do not follow any particular pattern. We reviewed the verbs for to be<\/em> and the preposition a<\/em>, and how certain articles change with its use in various contexts. The irregular verbs that change when the penultimate syllable is an o<\/em> is difficult for me as the o<\/em> changes into the dipthong ue<\/em>. Dipthongs are rare in English and I think this is why I struggle both in pronunciation and in the mental processing of the change.<\/p>\n

Irregular verbs
