Simple past regular verbs are introduced in this lesson.
The context is provided by the true storv of Princess Diana’s niece who took a taxi to what she thought was Stamford Bridge Stadium (the home of Chelsea Football Club) in London, but ended up in a remote village in the north of England also called Stamford Bridge. Princess Dianas brother has three daughters and it was never established which of the three girls ended up in the wrong place, but most newspapers assumed that it was Kitty, the eldest.
The lesson begins with an article and radio news item about the Stamford Bridge mix-up, which is used to present the grammar of regular simple past verbs. Then there is a focus on the pronunciation of the -cd endings. Vocabulary introduces past time expressions, and grammar and vocabulary are put together in the final speaking activity
