<blockquote type="cite" cite>Dear all<br>
One of my students is interested in the learning of the past tense
in<br>
English as second language (by French learners). One of her goals is
to<br>
consider the effect of the school learning of the rule on the patterns
of<br>
regularization. She has tried to get some references<br>
but she only managed to obtain the papers related to the acquisition
of the<br>
past tense in English as first language.<br>
Please, do you know some references about the learning of past tense
*in<br>
second language acquisition* ?<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
