Grammar

past simple tense:

past form of some verbs:

write——> wrote            study——->studied

run——->ran                   walk——->walked

have——>had                  play——>played

see———>saw                 talk——->talked

go———->went

eat———>ate

1. Talking about actions(things we do):

Did you eat yesterday?
Yes, I did. I ate yesterday.

Did you walk yesterday?

No, I didn’t. I didn’t walk yesterday.

**Main points: whenever you see did or didn’t, the verb doesn’t change in the sentence.

2. Talking about “am, is, are (be verbs)”:

I am ——-(past)——> I was

you are ——-(past)——> you were

She is ———(past)——-> she was

he is ——-(past)———> he was

We are ——-(past)———> we were

they are ———(past)———>they were

it is ——-(past)———>it was

examples :

Were you sad yesterday?
Yes, I was. I was sad yesterday.

Were you at home yesterday?
No, I wasn’t. I wasn’t at home yesterday.

**main point: remember that “be verb” is used to say how we feel and where we are. Do not use any other verbs ( go, do, drink, run, …) with it in past simple. Later we will learn more about other tenses and grammar of past.

Pronunciation

Make——> if in a word we use “a”and at the end we have got “e”, “a” should be pronounced as “/ei/“

For example :

make

take

lake

gate

face

plane

if no “e” at the end, pronunciation usually will be:

mad

bad
