Có nhiều nguồn chia sẻ có đến 600 động từ bất quy tắc trong tiếng Anh tuy nhiên thì các bạn không cần học nhiều như thế, chỉ sử dụng các từ cơ bản hay gặp nhất thôi. Vì nhớ 600 động từ sẽ khá khó nên nhớ tầm 200 - 360 động từ bất quy tắc là đủ. Mà 360 là thông dụng nhất.

Bên cạnh việc phân nhóm để học thì bạn có thể sử dụng mẹo học khác như dưới đây.

2.2 Học chay mỗi ngày

Học 10 từ mỗi ngày, học thuộc từ. Bên cạnh đó, bạn kết hợp học song song với cách sử dụng của các thì quá khứ và hoàn thành để sử dụng luôn theo ngữ cảnh.

Bạn có thể ghi từ ở những nơi dễ nhớ để học được mọi lục mọi nơi.

Tuy nhiên, học thuộc không có nghĩa là bạn chỉ đọc đi đọc lại mỗi ngày 5 – 10 từ. Hãy biến việc học thuộc trở nên thú vị hơn bằng việc tự tạo cho mình một bảng động từ bất quy tắc riêng, viết lại ra giấy và cố gắng trang trí, diễn giả cụ thể nhất theo ý mình (bao gồm dạng nguyên thể, dạng quá khứ đơn và quá khứ hoàn thành). Chính việc tự chuẩn bị bảng này sẽ giúp bạn ghi nhớ lâu hơn và nắm được vị trí của từng từ bởi mỗi lần viết là một lần học.

Ngoài ra bạn nên giới hạn số lượng từ học mỗi ngày là từ 5-10 động từ (tương đương với 15 – 30 từ của 3 dạng), không nên cố gắng học “nhồi” quá nhiều một lúc bởi nếu học nhiều mà không có sự ôn tập mỗi ngày sẽ khiến lượng kiến thức ấy khó có thể đọng lại lâu dài.

Sau khi hoàn thành Bảng Động Từ Bất Quy Tắc, hãy nhìn bao quát và chọn ra từng nhóm từ có chung cách cấu thành dạng quá khứ và quá khứ hoàn thành để dễ dàng ghi nhớ hơn. Sau đó che đi phần dạng quá khứ hoặc dạng quá khứ hoàn thành trong quá trình ôn. Việc điền các từ còn thiếu bị che một cách ngẫu nhiên sẽ giúp bạn ghi nhớ lâu hơn và nhớ được bảng bất quy tắc một cách hệ thống.

2.3 Học qua các ứng dụng trên điện thoại

Hiện nay, chắc hẳn đa số các bạn đều sở hữu Smartphone phải không? Bên canh việc sử dụng cho giải trí, bạn nên tận dụng nguồn ứng dụng miễn phí để phục vụ cho việc học của mình. Chỉ cần vào CH Play (Đối với Android) và Appstore (Đối với IOS), bạn có thể thoải mái tìm kiếm những ứng dụng cho việc ghi nhớ động từ bất quy tắc của mình với từ khóa Irregular verbs.

Một trong những ứng dụng mình tâm đắc nhất đó là Irregular Verbs Words. Điều nổi bật của ứng dụng này đó là nó không chỉ cung cấp bảng động từ bất quy tắc vô cùng đầy đủ, nó còn tích hợp những dạng bài học từ theo sở thích của bạn (như học từng từ, học ngẫu nhiên hoặc chỉ học một số từ nhất định).

Bên cạnh đó, ứng dụng còn bao gồm những trò chơi đa dạng như điền từ, chọn từ thích hợp. Việc tải sẵn ứng dụng này sẽ giúp bạn có thể tranh thủ bất kì khoảng thời gian rảnh nào để ôn tập lại từ vựng mà không cần nhàm chán.

2.4 Học qua bài hát

Có 1 số bài hát sử dụng động từ trong đó có động từ bất quy tắc. Bạn có thể tham khảo:

Học rap qua kênh FluencyMC:

Học qua bài hát ngữ pháp ở kênh SchoolHouse Rock.

Học qua các bài học là một trong những cách nhanh nhất để giúp bạn ghi nhớ từ vựng. Bởi chắc hẳn các bạn đều thấy mình ghi nhớ bài hát nhanh hơn so với việc học từ vựng và ngữ pháp đúng không?

Thông qua việc học qua giai điệu, não cũng bạn sẽ có phản xạ tốt hơn khi gặp lại những từ đó trong tương lai. Về nguồn tài liệu học, hãy ghé thăm kênh Youtube và đánh từ khóa “Irregular verbs songs” để lựa chọn bài hát có giai điệu bắt tai và luyện nghe mỗi ngày nhé.

Tuy nhiên thì cách này sẽ không giúp bạn học hết được các động từ nên tham khảo học vui thôi nhé.

2.5 Học và nhớ từ qua trò chơi

Đây là một cách khá hay để học và vui hơn. Tuy nhiên thì bạn cần có mạng kết nối Internet với các nguồn sau để dễ học:

Trò chơi hỏi đáp quiz của British Council

Hướng dẫn học và chơi:

⌘ Bạn được cung cấp những động từ bất quy tắc thông dụng nhất ở trên.
⌘ Sau đó, bạn nhấn chỗ Iregular verbs và bắt đầu làm bài tập chọn các từ cùng nhóm.
⌘ Nhấn Finish để kết thúc, kiểm tra mình đã nhớ từ được tốt chưa.

Trò chơi có tên Jeopardy của Quia

Hướng dẫn học và chơi:

⌘ Bạn đăng nhập tên vào ô mục yêu cầu.
⌘ Chọn các câu hỏi động từ bất quy tắc bắt đầu bằng....và chơi lấy điểm.

Những cách này khá thú vị nhưng nếu so với cách tự học chay, phân nhóm thì nó chỉ hỗ trợ thêm giúp bạn kiểm tra lại và ghi nhớ các từ. Hãy thử nhé!
