Esta canción de The Beatles se trata de un documento de audio perfecto para revisar el pasado simple de verbos irregulares. Se puede explotar de varias formas:

- Como una actividad de "listening comprehension" mediante un ejercicio de "fill in the gaps".
- Activida de fonética para aprender y practicar la pronunciación de los finales en "-ed" de los verbos regulares
