The house that Jack built - Yesterday?!

Greetings ... hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today's question is "What did you do on the weekend?" (I am sure it was a bunch of wonderful things that allowed you to enjoy time in Vancouver and to be with your friends.)

The pronunciation focus of this class is the simple past "-ed" /t/d/id/.
Here is a nursery rhyme to help you practice the the simple past. "This is the house that Jack built"

Reminder:
watched -- walked-- missed --> /t/
visited -- attended -- rented --> /id/
tried -- called -- showed -- /d/

Try this limerick to practice a bit more :D

     There was an Old Man with a gong,

     Who bumped at it all day long;

     But they called out, 'O law!

     You're a horrid old bore!'

     So they smashed that Old Man with a gong.
