Past Simple (I walked/I swam etc.)
NOTE:


When you have a series of actions in the past, use the past simple:

I went to the store, bought milk, eggs and flour, drove home and made pancakes.




 
 Past Continuous (I was walking/They were swimming etc.)
vs Past Simple:


  You can have the following:

Two longer actions going on at the same time:
I was playing the violin while he was listening.

A longer action that was already going on, interrupted by a shorter action:
I was walking home when he rang.


NOTE: verbs like picked up, opened, closed = short actions = past simple

NOTE: like, love, hate, to be etc. = not in past continuous

Adjectives vs Adverbs - SB p. 65-66
  • The red car. -> adjective modifies/says something about a noun (een bijvoegelijk nmw. zegt iets van een zelfsandig. nmw. - woord waarvoor je de/het/een kan zetten)

  • The completely red car -> adverb modifies an adjective ("red" in this case) (een bijwoord zegt iets van een bijvoegelijk nmw.)

  • Fortunately, she drives the completely red car really well. -> adverbs modify an entire sentence; an adjective or another adverb ("really" modifies "well") (bijwoorden zeggen iets van 1) de hele zin, 2) een bijvoegelijk nmw., 3) andere bijwoorden en 4) van werkwoorden - bijv. to drive well)

 Adverbs - SB p. 65-66
Adverb = adjective + -LY or irregular form (study these!)


Changes in ending:
adjective ending in -y ->- ily (easily; noisily; funnily)
adjective ending in -cal -> -ically (practically; fantastically)
adjectives ending in -LE -> LY (simply, subtly)

Adjectives with number

  • I have a note of fifty pounds.


  • The 80-year-old grandmother.
  • The grandmother who is 80 years old


  • The 13-year-old girl
  • The girl who is thirteen years old

Slide 24 - Slide

Comparisons - SB p. 68-69
  • Adjective 1-syllable word - er/est (big - bigger than - the biggest)

  • Adjective (> or =) 3-syllable words - more/most (beautiful - more beautiful than - the most beautiful)

  • Adjective 2-syllable words - er/est or more/most (SB p. 68)



  • Adverbs (ending in -LY) - more/most (She danced more beautifully than he did.)

  • Adverbs that have the same form as adjectives (for example: fast, late) - er/est


  • STUDY Irregular adjectives & adverbs  (good/better/best; bad/worse/worst; few/fewer/fewest; little/less/least etc.)

Slide 25 - Slide

Slide 26 - Link

NOTE: Adjective (NO ADVERB)  for verbs of perception
 (Gebruik een bijvoegelijk naamwoord wanneer het werkwoord een zintuig betreft)
  • look, 
  • taste, 
  • smell, 
  • feel 
  • sound 

->express sensation or appearance, they are followed by adjectives, not adverbs (because the adjective says something about the noun and NOT about the verb in these cases):

  • It smells good. NOT: It smells well.
  • The food looks bad. NOT: The food looks badly.
  • Your idea sounds good. NOT: Your idea sounds well.
  • This fabric is nice and soft, it feels good. NOT: This fabric is nice and soft, it feels well.

Irregular comparisons - study SB
little/less/least (non-countable = niet-telbaar) -> little milk/gold/love/hate = material/abstract words

much/more/most (non-countable) -> much milk/gold/love/hate
many/more/most (countable) -> many chairs/spoons/people = words that have plurals, can be counted

late/later/last (de laatste qua binnenkomst)
late/later/latest (de nieuwste)
the late Mr. Steve Jobs = wijlen

old/older/oldest
old/elder/eldest (familierelaties)

far/farther-further/farthest-furthest
far/further -> aanvullende (further details; further inquiry)
