Hi,

I am teaching regular verbs and irregular verb usage to non-english speaking adult students. Although they are very intelligent students they are not confident in speaking or writing English.

My question is: How might I go about teaching the difference between regular and irregular verbs, so that they may know how to use verbs in the simple present, simple past, and future tenses?

I do not want to discourage them yet I do not want to belittle their intelligence.

Thank you.
