Flashback

- How was your weekend?

- Past simple?

- Do you feel prepared for the test?

Past Simple: uses

We use the PAST SIMPLE for actions that started and finished in the past. 

Signal words are: yesterday, last week, last year, in 1994, five hours ago, etc.

• I saw a movie yesterday.
• I didn't see a play yesterday.
• Last year, I traveled to Japan.
• Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
• Did you have dinner last night?
• She washed her car.

He didn't wash his car.

Past Simple: Positives

- We just need our main verb, in its past tense. We add -ed behind regular verbs, and the irregular verbs you need to know by heart.

I                                    ate       slept       drank       wrote       relaxed

YOU                            ate        slept       drank       wrote       relaxed

SHE/HE/IT               ate        slept       drank       wrote       relaxed

WE                              ate        slept       drank       wrote       relaxed

THEY                          ate        slept       drank       wrote       relaxed

Irregular verbs

Er zijn zo ongeveer 200 onregelmatige werkwoorden in het Engels. Deze moeten jullie uit jullie hoofd leren. We gebruiken deze alleen voor positieve zinnen. 

Bij negatieve- en vraagzinnen gebruiken we immers na did/didn't het hele werkwoord. Zie de  volgende slides.

De werkwoorden die jullie voor de toets moeten weten, staan op blz 127.

Past Simple: Negatives

- We need our AUXILIARY DID, and the word NOT to make it negative, and then we need our main verb that we don't do anything to. 

I                            didn't         eat sleep drink write relax

YOU                    didn't         eat sleep drink write relax

SHE/HE/IT       didn't         eat sleep drink write relax

WE                      didn't         eat sleep drink write relax

THEY                  didn't         eat sleep drink write relax

Past Simple: Questions

? We need our auxiliary DID and the main verb that we don't do anything to.

DID                     WE             eat sleep drink write relax ?

DID                     THEY        eat sleep drink write relax ?

Past Continuous: Usage

We use the PAST Continuous to talk about actions and states in progress (happening) around a particular time in the past.

In het Nederlands gebruiken we dan vaak ‘was aan het…’ of ‘waren aan het…’.

Signal words are: when, while, at (insert time)

• When we got to the house yesterday morning, the baby was drinking a bottle.
• He was waiting at home all day when she sent him the message.
• Alan was cutting the grass the other day when the snake appeared.
• I was not sleeping when you got home late last night.
