Which of the following is a (correct) past simple?

1. met
2. have gone
3. had went
4. meeted

How is a (regular) past simple formed?

key words
past simple

With most verbs, the past tense is formed by adding –ed:

called -  liked  - wanted - worked

But there are a lot of irregular past tense forms in English. A list of those can be found in your reference book on p.88

The past simple form is the second column:

to become - became - become

e.g. He became famous in 2019

Past simple + irregular verbs

• something that happened once in the past:
  

I met my wife in 1983.

We went to Spain for our holidays.

They got home very late last night.

• something that happened several times in the past:
  

When I was a boy, I walked a mile to school every day.

We swam a lot while we were on holiday.

They always enjoyed visiting their friends.

Past simple + irregular verbs

• something that was true for some time in the past:

I lived abroad for ten years.
He enjoyed being a student.
She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.

• we often use expressions with 'ago' with the past simple:
  

I met my wife a long time ago

key words: when, then, last, ago, yesterday (any dates/time in the past)

-> action was finished in the past!!

Past simple + irregular verbs

Which of the following is a (correct) present perfect?

1. gone
2. has lived
3. had found
4. been living

How is a (regular) present perfect formed?

key words
present perfect

We use the present perfect simple (have or has + past participle) to talk about past actions or states which are still connected to the present.

have lived - has met - have given

Present Perfect

• We often use the present perfect to say what we've done in an unfinished time period, such as today, this week, this year, etc., and with expressions such as so far, until now, before, etc.

They've been on holiday twice this year.

We haven't had a lot of positive feedback so far.

I'm sure I've seen that film before.

Present Perfect

• We also use it to talk about life experiences, as our life is also an unfinished time period. We often use never in negative sentences and ever in questions.
  

I've worked for six different companies.

He's never won a gold medal.

Have you ever been to Australia?

Present Perfect

• We also use the present perfect to talk about unfinished states, especially with for, since and how long.
  

She's wanted to be a police officer since she was a child.

I haven't known him for very long.

How long have you had that phone?

Key words: since, for, never, ever, always, yet,  just, recently, already, yet and still.

-> used for UNfinished actions/time

Present Perfect
