Today's aims

To understand and correctly use:

Possessive form

This is ___ (she) car, however that bike is ___ (I).

Apostrophe

Possessive form: apostrophe + s after the name or the noun.

When the noun is plural, we put the apostrophe after the s:

- Is that Frank’s camera?

- There was a big teachers’ conference last week in Mexico City.

- For me, writing an essay involves at least an hour’s work.

- It was just ten minutes’ walk from my house to my office. 

Rewrite with contractions:
1- They are pretty.
2- What is going on?

Make the following possessive:
1- This is the phone of Sarah.
2- The students opinions were very clear.

Past tense

Past Simple: Vertelt wat er is gebeurd (yesterday / last week / last month / last year).

- Meestal voeg je -ed toe aan het werkwoord (verb).

- Sommige werkwoorden (irregular verbs) veranderen helemaal.

Voorbeeld (regular): "Yesterday I walked home."

Voorbeeld (irregular): "Yesterday I ate pizza." 

Irregular verbs

- I am a doctor: Ik ben een dokter

- I was a doctor: Ik was een dokter

- I have been a doctor: 

Ik ben een dokter geweest

Past tense

Past Participle: Gebruik je samen met have / has / (had)

-Vertaling vaak: "ge-woord" (gedaan, gegeten, gezien).

Voorbeeld: "I have eaten pizza." → "Ik heb pizza gegeten."
