Lesson 6 “The simple past”

Structure “simple past tense”

• Affirmative sentences
Subject + verb in past + complement
My friend went to the forest last year
She played football

 Negative sentences
Subject + didn’t (did not) + verb in infinitive + complement
My friend didn’t go to the forest last year
She didn’t play football

 Interrogative sentences
Did + subject + verb in infinitive + complement + ?
Did my friend go to the forest last year ?
Did she play fotball ?

Verbs in past tense

In English we have 2 types of verbs :
1) Regular verbs  we add –ed to the verb to put it into the past form

E.g – play  played

walk  walked
2) Irregular verbs  they change their structure when put them into the past form
E.g– Swim  Swam
Run  Ran

Verb to be in past tense

The case of the verb “to be” is special. It has 2 forms  WAS and WERE. We use them depending on
the subject.

I , he, She, it  WAS

You, we, they  WERE

El verbo “to be” puede significar dos cosas : ser y también estar .
Mire este ejemplo:
I was a student  yo era un estudiante (aquí tiene la forma ser en pasado)
I was in the school  yo estuve en la escuela (aquí tiene la forma estar en pasado)
Time expressions that indicates past tense
Yesterday  ayer
Last week,  la semana pasada
Last night  anoche
Last year  el año pasado
Last weekend  el fin de semana pasado
Two days ago  hace dos días
Three years ago  hace tres años
ACTIVITY Remember the structure of the simple past and write sentences (the first one is
made as an example)

Lesson 8 “Past continuous”

We use the Past CONTINUOUS tense to describe actions that were in progress in the past
Past continuous structure
Affirmative sentences

Subject + was/were + base verb –ing + complement

I was playing football
they were listening to music

Negative sentences

Subject + wasn’t / weren’t + base verb-ing + complement

I wasn’t playing football
They weren’t listening to music

Interrogative sentences
Was / Were + subject + base verb -ing + complement + ?
Was I playing football
were they listening to music

WAS or WERE?
As you know, was / were is the past form of the verb to be
In the present continuous we are always going to use this to make a sentence It depends on the
subject …

Lesson 10 “what was happening when…?”

We have learned about 2 past tenses: Simple past tense and Past continuous. When we use these two
tenses together, it shows us that the past simple action happened in the middle of the past continuous
action, while it was in progress.
(Cuando utilizamos el pasado simple y el pasado continuo juntos en una oración, indica que una
acción ocurrió mientras otra acción se estaba desarrollando)
I broke my leg when I was skiing (Me rompí la pierna cuando yo estaba esquiando).
We were watching TV when my mother arrived (estabamos viendo Tv cuando mi mama llegó)
I felt asleep while I was studying ( Me dormí mientras estaba estudiando)

I. Read the following text and the complete the activities below.
Firefighters are great!
Yesterday I was playing videogames in my room when I heard people screaming. I
went out and saw: my neighbors’ house was on fire!
I.
In less than 10 minutes the firemen arrived and fought against the fire for one hour until
they made it. Wow! They are really brave! One of them entered the house and saved the
Johnson’s dog that was sleeping in the room.
All the people were resting in their houses when the fire started because it was Sunday.
I made a decision: I want to be a fireman when I grow up. I’ll be strong and brave
enough to fight against the fire, to save people’s lives and property. I can’t wait! I can
already see it in the newspaper: “Brave fireman rescues a family of four”, Mom will be
really proud.
