Unit 6: Going Shopping
Summary: At the Mall
Key points
- A mall is a big building with many shops, an escalator, a food court and cash desks.
- Try on = put on clothes to see them; fit = the right size; suit = it looks nice on you.
- We describe a shopping day in the simple past with first, then, at the end.
- Past questions use did + base verb: Did you buy a watch? — Yes, I did.
- all sounds /ɔːl/: mall, ball, tall, small.
Rules to remember
Regular verbs
visit ➡️ visited, smell ➡️ smelled, try ➡️ tried (consonant + y ➡️ ied).
Irregular verbs

How to do it
- Say when and where you went.
- Tell the events in order: first, then, after that.
- Put every verb in the simple past.
- Finish with how you felt.
Example
Last Saturday we went to the mall. Dad tried on shoes, but they didn’t fit.
Common mistakes
