📌 本課從「人權」與「受教育的權利」角度認識童婚：每個孩子都有選擇的權利，也都應該能上學。課本 Post-reading 以「寫信馬拉松」的方式，請同學寫信表達關心。
Dialogue：午餐時間，Jeff 和 Nina 在教室裡聊天（It's lunch time. Jeff and Nina are in the classroom.）。對話靈感來自真實故事《我十歲，離婚》。

課本把目前學過的不規則動詞整理成一張表。下面依「變化長相」分組，比較好背：
| 變化規律 | 原形 → 過去式 |
|---|---|
| i → a | drink → drank sing → sang swim → swam |
| -ought / -aught | bring → brought buy → bought fight → fought catch → caught |
| -ew | draw → drew fly → flew know → knew throw → threw |
| 母音變 o | break → broke choose → chose freeze → froze ride → rode rise → rose write → wrote wear → wore |
| -ell → -old | sell → sold tell → told |
| 雙母音變短 + d / t | feed → fed meet → met sleep → slept mean → meant lose → lost |
| 字尾變 t | build → built |
| a / o / i 互換 | become → became come → came run → ran win → won give → gave eat → ate |
| 其他（整個變） | fall → fell find → found get → got go → went have → had make → made say → said see → saw stand → stood take → took |
原形和過去式同形的動詞（只能靠「主詞＋時間」判斷）：
| 動詞 | 過去式 | 判斷技巧 |
|---|---|---|
| hit 打 | hit | 第三人稱單數主詞若沒加 s → 過去式 He hit me yesterday.（現在式要 hits） |
| hurt 使受傷 | hurt | |
| let 讓 | let | |
| put 放 | put | |
| read [rid] 讀 | read [rɛd] | 拼字相同，發音改變！唸成 red |
| 問句 | 答句重點 |
|---|---|
| Why did…? | 答句用過去式動詞（ran、sold） |
| Why didn't…? | 答句用 didn't + 原形 |
| Why was / were…? | 形容詞（angry、late、sick）用 be 動詞問 |
because 接「原因」，so 接「結果」。兩個都是連接詞，一句話只能有一個。
用連字號連起來後，整串變成一個形容詞，形容詞沒有複數，所以 year 不加 s。
| 放在名詞前（形容詞） | 放在 be 動詞後（補語） |
|---|---|
| a ten-year-old girl | The girl is ten years old. |
| a thirty-year-old man | The man is thirty years old. |
| a two-hour movie | The movie is two hours long. |
