168.2 - English Story: Irregular Verbs with The Statue of Liberty

from American English Podcast · host Shana Thompson

Imagine you are on a ferry slowly approaching Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The sky is a brilliant blue with just a few clouds drifting overhead. There's a cool breeze; it's hitting your face, and the smell of salt from the ocean water is around you. To your right is the New York City skyline. Lower Manhattan is magical with all of its high rises, but nothing compares to the Statue of Liberty ahead of you. She's massive! In fact, if she were a building, she'd be about 20 stories high. Being in front of her, Lady Liberty is surreal because she's so well-known and such a powerful symbol of hope, freedom, and democracy. She's also a symbol of the United States, but what's her story? In today's lesson, you're going to hear a short story about the Statue of Liberty. In it, you'll hear ten irregular past tense verbs. Here they are: 1. to be 2. to take 3. to break 4. to bring 5. to build 6. to stand 7. to make 8. to flee 9. to see 10. to lead Want to take your learning further?  ⭐ ⁠⁠⁠Visit the website⁠⁠⁠ for more learning materials.
