Using Rhymes and Stories to Aid Verb Memorization

Another technique highlighted in the podcast is combining irregular verbs with the same patterns in rhymes or stories to enhance retention. By creating mnemonic devices that incorporate the irregular verb structures, learners can improve their ability to remember the various forms. An example given in the podcast suggests using rhyming words or stories to associate past simple and past participle forms, like begin, began, begun and drive, drove, driven. This mnemonic approach offers a creative and practical way to master irregular verb conjugations.
