The sinking of the Titanic occurred on April 15, 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four
days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest
passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board
when she hit an iceberg. The sinking took two hours and forty minutes and resulted in
the deaths of more than 1,500 people. This made it one of the deadliest maritime
disasters in history.
Titanic received six warnings of sea ice on April 14th but was traveling near her
maximum speed when her lookouts saw the iceberg. Unable to turn quickly enough, the
ship suffered a blow on the right side. The crew used distress flares and radio messages
to attract help. Passengers were put into lifeboats, however, evacuation efforts were
poorly managed and many lifeboats were launched before they were totally full. Almost
all those who jumped or fell into the water drowned within minutes due to the effects
of hypothermia.
Titanic sank with over a thousand passengers and crew still on board. Another ship, the
Carpathia, arrived on the scene about an hour and a half after the sinking and helped
rescuing survivors.
The disaster caused widespread outrage over the lack of lifeboats, lax regulations, and
the unequal treatment of the three passenger classes during the evacuation.
3- What did the crew do to avoid the collision with the iceberg?
a) Send radio signals
b) Turn the boat
c) Shoot distress flares
d) Evacuate people on life boats
5- What did other passengers die of who didn't drown or sink with the ship?
a) From low water and body temperature
b) Disease
STRUCTURE:
• when the final letter is e, only add d. • silent e is dropped (but: does not
apply for -ee)
Example: love – loved
Example: come - coming
Live - lived but: agree - agreeing
• after a short, stressed vowel, the final consonant • after a short, stressed vowel, the
is doubled final consonant is doubled

the same time?

checked her e-mails. brother was watching TV.
If you want to express that a new action happened in the middle of another action, you
need both tenses: Simple Past the new action and Past Progressive for the action already
in progress.
Do you just want to mention that an action took place in the past (also used for short
actions)? Or do you want to put emphasis on the progress, e.g. that an action was taking
place at a certain time?

Signal words
EXERCISE 1
Put the verbs into the correct tense (Simple Past or Past Progressive).
1- While Tom (read) was reading_ , Amely (watch)_ was watching__ a
documentary on TV.
2- Marvin (come) came_ home, (switch)_switched _on the computer and (check)
__checked__ his emails.
3- The thief (sneak) sneaked_ into the house, (steal)_stole the jewels and (leave) _

the tenses.
5- While we (do) were doing__a sight-seeing tour, our friends (lie) were bring___on
the beach.
6- He (wake)_ woke_ and (look) _looked__at his watch.
When you use the past progressive with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses
the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.
Examples:
I was studying while he was making dinner.
While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.
Were you listening while he was talking?
We use the past progressive to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted.
The interruption is usually a shorter action in the simple past. Remember this can be a
real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
I was watching TV when she called.
We use AS SOON AS with the past simple, to talk about actions that happened one after
another.
As soon as I saw Mike ok the street I said hello to him.
We started doing our homework as soon as the teacher sent us the e-mail.
We started cleaning the house as soon as the party was over.

→We CAN'T use the present perfect with a finished time word.
NOT:I've seen him yesterday.
4: A finished action with a result in the present (focus on result). We often use the
present perfect to talk about something that happened in the recent past, but that is
still true or important now. Sometimes we can use the past simple here, especially in

They've missed the bus (so they will be late). Ellos perdieron el autobús, así que llegaran
tarde.
5: We can also use the present perfect to talk about something that happened
recently, even if there isn't a clear result in the present. This is common when we want
to introduce news and we often use the words 'just / yet / already / recently'.
However, the past simple is also correct in these cases, especially in US English.
