Learning goals
  • The students know how to form the past tenses 
  • The students know when you use the past tenses correctly

  • Bonus goal - be able to answer direct questions about your book using the past tense
  • When we talk about books or literature, we use the present tense unless there is a time shift in the world of the text, for example:

Example: “Evelyn then rips into the carefully wrapped package and finds the greatest gift she has ever received. Her eyes fill with tears as she gazes at the jewel, but Philip does not know that these tears are the results of more than surprised joy. Evelyn is suffering from guilt as she compares this present to the shoddy gift that she bought for her beau."
