@happily_blue @JonesGP1996 @NYTGames I see what you’re saying but they’re never included in lists of irregular verbs because they don’t have a past tense or a past participle

[Penny Hands @pennyhands]

@JonesGP1996 @NYTGames Yes! Modal auxiliary verbs, to be precise. So it’s still wrong

@LisaMEarthMama @nytimes I see they’ve changed it now

[Penny Hands @pennyhands]

@molly_kraus @NYTGames Haha, I see they’ve changed it now

[Penny Hands @pennyhands]

@TexyLefty @NYTGames I know right - what nonsense. How can ‘will’ and ‘may’ be regarded as past tense??? 🤨

@lexicojules Thanks for sharing! Just devoured Parts 1, 2 and 3 when I should be defining words for another publisher!

@ebefl Wonderful news! ❤️

@sharonmcteir @alexogray’s tweets explain what it was like in there 24/7. Sounds like hell!

@sharonmcteir No idea, wondering the same myself. Probably practising for something to do with the dead queen.

@bceltons A huge thanks to the authors (@ebefl, @clethaby and Patricia Harries), the team at @PavPub, the Editor @pennyhands, and to @elteducator (for commissioning and producing the book). A fantastic team effort from everyone, and we can't wait to attend the award ceremony! #ELTons
