Why typing beats reading the list
Reading a verb table feels like learning, but it is recognition, not production. Typing "went" and "gone" from scratch makes your brain do the same work a real conversation demands: retrieving the form with no crutch. After you get it right by typing, say all three forms out loud.
Frequently asked
Around 200 in current use, but about 70 cover the vast majority of conversations. Those are the ones the trainer uses, most frequent first.
Past simple tells what happened (I went home). The participle appears with have/has/had and in the passive voice (I have gone, it was taken).
