Later the teacher had better present some sentences containing the past participle used as the attribute and the predicative on purpose by asking the students to do some exercises.Get the students to find all the sentences containing the past participle in the two passages.After finding them, the teacher can ask the students to analyze them and understand the function of the past participle in those sentences.After that the teacher should give the students clear explanations about the usage of the grammar.
After mastering the rules of the past participle, the students should be given more exercises to consolidate what they learn.The teacher should arrange some activities carefully and creatively.
