II. THEORY
I) Một số dạng câu hỏi trong tiếng Anh
Khi là câu hỏi thì chúng ta đặt trợ động từ lên đầu câu hay nói chính xác hơn là đảo trợ động từ
(auxiliary verbs) lên trước chủ từ.
Đối với câu chỉ có động từ thường ở thì hiện tại đơn (Simple Present) ta dùng thêm trợ động từ "do"
hoặc "does". Sau đây là một số dạng câu hỏi thường gặp:
a) Câu hỏi Yes/ No (Yes/ No Questions)
trợ động từ (be, do, does, did) + chủ ngữ (S) + động tử +...?
Câu hỏi dạng Yes/ No Questions tức Câu hỏi Yes/ No, bởi vì với dạng câu hỏi này chỉ đòi hỏi trả lời
Yes hoăc No.
Yes, s + trợ động từ/ to be.
No, s + trợ động từ/ to be + not.
Ex: Isn't Trang going to school today?
Hôm nay Trang không đi học phải không?
Yes, she is.
Vâng, đúng vậy.
Was Trinh sick yesterday?
Hôm qua Trinh bị bệnh phải không?
No, she was not.
Không, cô ấy không bị bệnh.
b) Câu hỏi lấy thông tin (information question)
Khi chúng ta cần hỏi rõ ràng hơn và có câu trả lời cụ thể hơn ta dùng câu hỏi với các từ hỏi.
Ngoài câu hỏi How many (hỏi về số lượng)/ How much (hỏi về giá cả), trong tiếng Anh còn có một
loạt từ hỏi nữa và các từ hỏi này đều bắt đầu bằng chữ Wh-. Các từ hỏi Wh- bao gồm: What (gì, cái
gì), Which (nào, cái nào), Who (ai), Whom (ai), Whose (của ai), Why (tại sao, vì sao), Where (đâu, ở
đâu), When (khi nào, bao giờ).
Để viết câu hỏi với từ để hỏi ta chỉ cần nhớ đơn giản như sau:
Đã là câu hỏi dĩ nhiên sẽ có sự đảo giữa chủ từ và trợ động từ, nếu trong câu không có trợ động từ ta
dùng thêm do/ does (tùy theo chủ ngữ và thì câu câu).
Từ để hỏi luôn luôn đứng đầu câu hỏi. Như vậy cấu trúc một câu hỏi có từ để hỏi là:
Từ để hỏi + trợ động từ + chủ ngữ +...?
Ex: What is this? Cái gì đây? hoặc Đấy là cái gì?
Where do you live? Anh sống ở đâu?
When do you see him? Anh gặp hắn khi nào?
What are you doing? Anh đang làm gì thế?
Why does she like him? Tại sao cô ta thích anh ta?
1) Who hoặc What: câu hỏi chủ ngữ
Đây là câu hỏi khi muốn biết chủ ngữ hay chủ thể của hành động.
Who/ What + động từ (V) +...?
Ex: What happened last night? Chuyện gì đã xảy ra vào tối qua?
Who opened the door? Ai đã mở cửa?
2) Whom hoặc What: câu hỏi tân ngữ
Đây là các câu hỏi dùng khi muôn biết tân ngữ hay đối tượng tác động của hành động.
Whom/ What + trợ động từ (do/ did/ does) + s + V +...?
Lưu ý: Trong tiếng Anh viết bắt buộc phải dùng whom mặc dù trong tiếng Anh nói có thể dùng who
thay cho whom trong mẫu câu trên.
Ex: What did Trang buy at the store? Trang đã mua gi ở cửa hàng?
Whom does Lan know from the UK?
Lan biết ai từ Vương Quốc Anh?
3) When, Where, How và Why: Câu hỏi bổ ngữ
Dùng khi muốn biết nơi chốn, thời gian, lý do, cách thức của hành động.
When/ Where/ Why/ How + trợ động từ (be, do, does, did) + s + V + bổ ngữ (+ tân ngữ)?
Ex: How did Trang get to school today?
Làm thế nào mà Trang đã đến được trường vào hôm nay?
When did he move to Ha Noi?
Khi nào cậu ấy chuyển đến Hà Nội?
Đối với câu hỏi Why, chúng ta có thể dùng Because (vì, bởi vì) để trả lời.
Ex: Why do you like computer? Tại sao anh thích máy tính?
Because it's very wonderful. Bởi vì nó rất tuyệt vời.
Why does he go to his office late? Tạo sao anh ta đến cơ quan trễ? Because he gets up late. Vì anh ta
dậy trễ.
Các em cần chú ý:
1) Câu hỏi với Who, Whom, Whose
Who và Whom đều dùng để hỏi ai, người nào, nhưng Who dùng thay cho người, giữ nhiệm vụ chủ từ
trong câu, còn Whom giữ nhiệm vụ túc từ cùa động từ theo sau.
Ex: Who can answer that question? (Who là chủ từ của động từ can)
Ai có thể trả lời câu hỏi đó?
Whom do you meet this morning? (Whom là túc từ của meet)
Anh gặp ai sáng nay?
Lưu ý:
Trong văn nói người ta có thể dùng who trong cả hai trường hợp chủ từ và túc từ.
Ex: Who(m) do they help this morning?
Họ giúp ai sáng nay?
Động từ trong câu hỏi với who ở dạng xác định. Ngược lại động từ trong câu hỏi với whom phải ở
dạng nghi vấn:
Ex: Who is going to Ha Noi with Trang?
Ai đang đi Hà Nội cùng với Trang vậy?
With whom is she going to London?
(= Who(m) did she go to Ha Noi with?)
Cô ta đang đi Hà Nội cùng với ai vậy?
Whose là hình thức sở hữu của who. Nó được dùng để hỏi "của ai".
Ex: Whose is this umbrella? Cái ô này của ai?
It's mine. Của tôi.
Whose có thể được dùng như một tính từ nghi vấn. Khi ấy theo sau whose phải có một danh từ.
Ex: Whose pen are you using? Bạn đang dùng cây bút của ai đấy?
Whose books are they reading? Họ đang đọc quyển sách của ai?
2) Câu hỏi với What, Which
What và Which đều có nghĩa chung là "cái gì, cái nào". Tuy vậy which có một số giới hạn.
Người nghe phải chọn trong giới hạn ấy để trả lời. Câu hỏi với what thì không có giới hạn. Người nghe
có quyền trả lời theo ý thích của mình.
Ex: What do you often have for breakfast?
Bạn thường ăn điểm tâm bằng gì?
Which will you have, tea or coffee?
Anh muốn dùng gì, trà hay cà phê?
What và which còn có thể là một tính từ nghi vấn. Khi sử dụng tính từ nghi vấn phải dùng với một
danh từ. Cách dùng giống như trường hợp whose nêu trên.
Ex: What colour do you like?
Ban thích màu gì?
Which way to the station, please?
Cho hỏi đường nào đi đến ga ạ?
Which có thể dùng để nói về người. Khi ấy nó có nghĩa "người nào, ai".
Ex: Which of you can't do this exercise?
Em nào (trong số các em) không làm được bài tập này?
Which boys can answer all the questions?
Những cậu nào có thể trả lời tất cả các câu hỏi?
Lưu ý:
Who is that man? - He's Mr. John Barnes. (Hỏi về tên)
What is he? - He's a teacher. (Hỏi về nghề nghiệp)
What is he like? - He's tall, dark, and handsome. (Hỏi về dáng dấp)
What's he like as a pianist? - Oh, he's not very good. (Hỏi về công việc làm)
c) Câu hỏi phủ định (Negative Questions)
Negative Question là câu hỏi phủ định, có nghĩa là câu hỏi có động từ viết ở thể phủ định tức có thêm
not sau trợ động từ.
Chúng ta dùng câu hỏi phủ định trong các trường hợp sau:
1) Để chỉ sự ngạc nhiên;
Aren't you crazy? Why do you do that?
Anh có điên không? Sao anh làm điều đó?
2) Là một lời cảm thán.
Doesn't that dress look nice!
Cái áo này đẹp quá!
Như vậy bản thân câu này không phải là câu hỏi nhưng được viết dưới dạng câu hỏi.
Khi trông chờ người nghe đồng ý với mình.
Trong các câu hỏi này chữ not chỉ được dùng để diễn tả ý nghĩa câu, đừng dịch nó là không.
Người ta còn dùng Why với câu hỏi phủ định để nói lên một lời đề nghị hay một lời khuyên.
Ex: Why don't you lock the door?
Sao anh không khóa cửa? Why don't we go out for a meal?
Sao chúng ta không đi ăn một bữa nhỉ?
Why don't you go to bed early?
Sao anh không đi ngủ sớm?
II) Giới thiệu về mạo từ (Articles)
1) Định nghĩa: Mạo từ là từ đứng trước danh từ và cho biết danh từ ấy đề cập đến một đối tượng xác
định hay không xác định.
Chúng ta dừng "the" khi danh từ chỉ đối tượng được cả người nói 1 người nghe biết rõ đối tượng nào
đó. Ngược lại khi dùng mạo từ bất định "a/ an", người nói đề cập đến một đối tượng chung hoặc chưa
xác định được: Mạo từ trong tiếng Anh chỉ gồm ba từ và được phân chia như sau:
Mạo từ xác định (Denfinite article): the Mạo từ bất định (Indefinite article): a/ an
Mạo từ không phải là một loại từ riêng biệt, chúng ta có thể xem nó như một bộ phận của tính từ dùng
để bổ nghĩa - chỉ đơn vị (cái, con chiếc).

IX. Read the text and do the task
Five-coloured sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities in the northern
mountainous regions. People call the dish five- coloured sticky rice because it has five colours: red,
yellow, green, purple and white. The things that create the colours are not chemicals but natural roots
and leaves. The five colours of the dish represent five elements of life according to Vietnamese
beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and purple or black is water. People
believe that these five elements create harmony between heaven and earth. Five-coloured sticky rice is
usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and ceremonies, on special occasions, and whenever the
family has guests.

MY VILLAGE
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three
kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the
chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The
adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run
around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like
vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in
the town square. I love those trips.
On starry nights, Children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to find the Milky
Way. We dream of faraway places.

II. THEORY
1. Chúng ta dùng "should" với động từ nguyên mẫu (do, go...):
I should do a lot of homework tonight.
Dùng "should" giống nhau cho tất cả các ngôi:
I/ you/ he/ she/ it/ we/ they should come.
2. Thể phủ định là "shouldn't":
You shouldn't work all day.
They shouldn't spend so much money.
3. Chúng ta dùng "I should" hoặc "we should" để đề nghị những điều tốt chúng ta nên làm:
I should go home. It's midnight.
We should invite them to our wedding.
Chúng ta dùng "I" hoặc "we shouldn't" để nói về những viêc̣ không nên làm vì chúng không có
lợi cho chúng ta:
I shouldn't eat so much food.
Chúng ta dùng "should/ shouldn't" để đưa ra lời khuyên:
You should look for a better place to eat.
You shouldn't swim in this river.
"Should" được dùng có tác dụng không mạnh mẽ bằng "must" hoặc "have to". Hãy so sánh:
You should drink more milk. (It's a good idea.)
"You must drink more milk," said the doctor. (It's very important.)
4. Chúng ta sử dụng dạng câu hỏi "should I/ we ...?" để xin lời khuyên:
What should I say to Fred?
I need a new passport. Where should I go?
5. Chúng ta có thể nói "I think we should", "I don't think you should" v.v... khi đưa ra ý kiến:
I think we should get two tickets.
I don't think you should believe everything he says.
Chúng ta thường không nói: I think you shouldn't
6. Chúng ta có thể sử dụng "do you think I should ...?" để xin lời khuyên:
Tom hasn't replied to my letter. Do you think I should phone him?
What do you think I should send Alisa for her birthday?
Ngữ pháp mở rộng:
Diễn tả sự bắt buộc (obligation) và lời khuyên (advice): MUST, SHOULD, HAVE TO
MUST + V: được dùng để diễn tả sự bắt buộc xuất phát từ bản thân người nói
Ví dụ: I must do homework today so that I can be totally free tomorrow.
* Lưu ý: khi diễn tả sự bắt buộc trong quá khứ, must dùng thay thế bằng had to + V, didn't have
to + V
Ví dụ: I had to wear uniform when I was a pupil at primary school.
* Lưu ý: Mustn't + V: diễn tả sự ngăn cấm
Ví dụ: You mustn't smoke in hospital.
HAVE TO / DON'T HAVE TO + V: diễn tả sự bắt buộc xuất phát từ nhân tố bên ngoài. Lưu ý have
to không phải là modal verb nên động từ phải chia theo chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ: Chilren have to wear uniform to school.
My mom doesn't have to work on Sunday.
* Lưu ý: có thể dùng have got to + V, need to + V, be supposed to V với ý nghĩa tương đương.
* Lưu ý: ở thể phủ định, bên cạnh don't have to + V, don't need to + V còn có thể dùng needn't + V.
Trong trường hợp này, needn't hoạt động như một modal verb và không cần chia theo chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ: She needn't attend this English course because she did her MBA course in Australia.
OUGHT TO + V: diễn tả sự cần thiết phải thực hiện hành động
Ví dụ: You ought to report to her at work.
* Lưu ý: OUGHT TO thường không dùng ở dạng phủ định.
SHOULD / SHOULDN'T + V: diễn tả lời khuyên
Ví dụ: You shouldn't overspend, or you will be in debt.
You should take his advice.
SHOULD HAVE P2 / SHOULDN'T HAVE P2: diễn tả hành động lẽ ra nên được thực hiện trong
quá khứ nhưng đã không được thực hiện (à điều kiện không thật).
Ví dụ: You should have thanked her for her help. (but you didn't thank her).

Being the second largest annual traditional festival of Vietnam right after Tet Holiday, Vu Lan is widely
celebrated throughout the country - among businesses, families, and other institutions. This festival takes place
on the 15th day of the seventh month in Lunar Calendar.
The festival is originated from a legend. A Buddha's disciple named Muc Kien Lien saw that his mother
was suffering from hell's tortures. Following Buddha’s advice, on the seventh full moon of the year, Muc Kien

their way back to earth.
On this day, people visit pagodas and temples to worship ghosts and hungry spirits through offering food,

Shortcoming of Festivals.
Although there are many interesting things people can get from the festivala, there are also
some disadvantages.
The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that most
festival aim to preserve and develop the traditional cultural heritages, the government is willing to
spend a lot of money on this occasion. Besides, during the festival, most people do not work and only
spend money on preparing food and buying expensive gifts for their ralatives and friends. That’s also a
reason why it is said that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantages is unsafe during a festival. It is estimated that there are hundred
accidents during a festival, particularly road accidents. There are many dangerous festivals like cow-
racing, elephant racing which may be very dangerous for people, especially for children. Moreover, in
some fetival, when rushing to join the events, people may also cause other people to get hurt.
The last disadvantage is festivals may affect the environment seriously. People tend to throw away
waste cans or bottles after a festival. Furthermore, trees along the roadsides may be damaged by the
aprticipants. Noise pollution is result from the noise of the performances and the noise from the
crowds.
2. Read the text again and tick True (T) or False (F).
1. It is cheap to hold a festival. F
2. The government is willingto take a lot of money to celebrate a festival. F
3. During a festival, people often prepare food and buy expensive gifts for strange people. F
4. People may be hurt when they participate in a festival. T

THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
I- THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN VỚI ĐỘNG TỪ "TO BE"
Động từ "to be" ở thì quá khứ đơn có hai dạng là "was" và "were".
1. Khẳng định:
S + was/ were
Trong đó: S (subject): chủ ngữ
CHÚ Ý:
S = I/ He/ She/ It (số ít) + was
S = We/ You/ They (số nhiều) + were
Ví dụ:
- I was at my friend's house yesterday morning. (Tôi đã ở nhà bạn tôi sang hôm qua.)
- They were in London on their summer holiday last year. (Họ ở Luân Đôn vào kỳ nghỉ hè năm ngoái.)
2. Phủ định:
S + was/ were + not
Đối với câu phủ định ta chỉ cần thêm "not" vào sau động từ "to be".
CHÚ Ý:
- was not = wasn't
- were not = weren't
Ví dụ:
- She wasn't very happy last night because of having lost money. (Tối qua cô ấy không vui vì mất tiền)
- We weren't at home yesterday. (Hôm qua chúng tôi không ở nhà.)
3. Câu hỏi:
Were/ Was + S?
Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it + was. – No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn't.
Yes, we/ you/ they + were. – No, we/ you/ they + weren't.
Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo động từ "to be" lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ:
- Was she tired of hearing her customer's complaint yesterday? (Cô ấy có bị mệt vì nghe khách hàng
phàn nàn ngày hôm qua không?)
Yes, she was./ No, she wasn't. (Có, cô ấy có./ Không, cô ấy không.)
- Were they at work yesterday? (Hôm qua họ có làm việc không?)
Yes, they were./ No, they weren't. (Có, họ có./ Không, họ không.)
II- CÔNG THỨC THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN VỚI ĐỘNG TỪ THƯỜNG
1. Khẳng định:
S + V-ed
Trong đó: S: Chủ ngữ
V-ed: Động từ chia thì quá khứ đơn (theo qui tắc hoặc bất qui tắc)
Ví dụ:
- We studied English last night. (Tối qua chúng tôi đã học tiếng Anh.)
- He met his old friend near his house yesterday. (Anh ấy đã gặp người bạn cũ của mình ngay gần nhà
ngày hôm qua.)
2. Phủ định:
S + did not + V (nguyên thể)
Trong thì quá khứ đơn câu phủ định ta mượn trợ động từ "did + not" (viết tắt là "didn't), động từ theo
sau ở dạng nguyên thể.)
Ví dụ:
- He didn't come to school last week. (Tuần trước cậu ta không đến trường.)
- We didn't see him at the cinema last night. (Chúng tôi không trông thấy anh ta tại rạp chiếu phim tối
hôm qua.)
3. Câu hỏi:
Did + S + V(nguyên thể)?
Trong thì quá khứ đơn với câu hỏi ta mượn trợ động từ "did" đảo lên trước chủ ngữ, động từ theo sau ở
dạng nguyên thể.
Ví dụ:
- Did you visit Ho Chi Minh Museum with your class last weekend? (Bạn có đi thăm bảo tàng Hồ Chí
Minh với lớp của bạn cuối tuần trước hay không?)
Yes, I did./ No, I didn't. (Có, mình có./ Không, mình không.)
- Did he miss the train yesterday? (Cậu ta có lỡ chuyến tàu ngày hôm qua hay không?)
Yes, he did./ No, he didn't. (Có, cậu ta có./ Không, cậu ta không.)
III- CÁCH SỬ DỤNG CỦA THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đã xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
- They went to the concert last night. (Họ đã tới rạp hát tối hôm qua.)
Ta thấy "tối hôm qua" là một mốc thời gian trong quá khứ. Hành động "tới nhà hát" đã xảy ra tối hôm
qua và kết thúc rồi nên ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn.
- The plane took off two hours ago. (Máy bay đã cất cánh cách đây 2 giờ.)
Ta thấy "cách đây 2 giờ" là thời gian trong quá khứ và việc "máy bay cất cánh" đã xảy ra nên ta sử
dụng thì quá khứ đơn.
IV- DẤU HIỆU NHẬN BIẾT THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN.
Trong câu có các trạng từ chỉ thời gian trong quá khứ:
- yesterday (hôm qua)
- last night/ last week/ last month/ last year: tối qua/ tuần trước/ tháng trước/ năm ngoái
- ago: Cách đây. (two hours ago: cách đây 2 giờ/ two weeks ago: cách đây 2 ngày ...)
- when: khi (trong câu kể)
V- CÁCH CHIA ĐỘNG TỪ Ở QUÁ KHỨ
1. Ta thêm "-ed" vào sau động từ:
- Thông thường ta thêm "ed" vào sau động từ.
- Ví du: watch – watched turn – turned want – wanted
* Chú ý khi thêm đuôi "-ed" vào sau động từ.
+ Động từ tận cùng là "e" -> ta chỉ cần cộng thêm "d".
Ví dụ: type – typed smile – smiled agree – agreed
+ Động từ có MỘT âm tiết, tận cùng là MỘT phụ âm, trước phụ âm là MỘT nguyên âm -> ta nhân đôi
phụ âm cuối rồi thêm "-ed".
Ví dụ: stop – stopped shop – shopped tap – tapped
NGOẠI LỆ: commit – committed travel – travelled prefer - preferred
+ Động từ tận cùng là "y":
- Nếu trước "y" là MỘT nguyên âm (a, e, i, o, u) ta cộng thêm "ed".
Ví dụ: play – played stay - stayed
- Nếu trước "y" là phụ âm (còn lại) ta đổi "y" thành "i + ed".
Ví dụ: study – studied cry - cried
9. Your friend (be) at your house last weekend?
10. They (not be) excited about the film last night.
THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN (Past continuous tense)
I- CẤU TRÚC CỦA THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
1. Khẳng định:
S + was/were + V-ing
Trong đó: S (subject): chủ ngữ
V-ing: động từ thêm "–ing"
CHÚ Ý:
- S = I/ He/ She/ It + was
- S = We/ You/ They + were
Ví dụ:
- She was cooking dinner at 5 p.m yesterday. (Cô ấy đang nấu bữa tối vào lúc 5h chiều hôm qua)
- They were playing badminton when I came yesterday. (Họ đang chơi cầu lông khi tôi đến ngày hôm
qua.)
2. Phủ định:
S + wasn't/ weren't + V-ing
Câu phủ định tả chỉ cần thêm "not" ngay sau "to be".
CHÚ Ý:
- was not = wasn't
- were not = weren't
Ví dụ:
- He wasn't working when his boss came yesterday.
- We weren't watching TV at 9 p.m yesterday.
3. Câu hỏi:
Was/ Were + S + V-ing?
Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it + was. – No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn't.
Yes, we/ you/ they + were. – No, we/ you/ they + weren't.
Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo "to be" lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ:
- Was your mother going to the market at 7 a.m yesterday?
Yes, she was./ No, she wasn't.
- Were they staying with you when I called you yesterday?
Yes, they were./ No, they weren't.
II- CÁCH SỬ DỤNG CỦA THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
1. Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra tại một thời điểm xác định trong quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
- At 12 o'clock yesterday, we were having lunch. (Vào lúc 12h ngày hôm qua, chúng tôi đang ăn trưa.)
Ta thấy "lúc 12h ngày hôm qua" là một giờ cụ thể trong quá khứ, vào tại thời điểm này thì việc "ăn
trưa" đang diễn ra nên ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
- At this time 2 days ago, I was travelling in America. (Vào thời gian này cách đây 2 ngày, tôi đang du
lịch bên Mỹ.)
Ta thấy "vào thời gian này cách đây 2 ngày" là một thời gian cụ thể trong quá khứ, vào thời điểm này
thì việc "du lịch" đang diễn ra nên ta sử dụng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
2. Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đang xảy ra thì một hành động khác xen vào.
- Hành động đang xảy ra chia thì quá khứ tiếp diễn, hành động xen vào chia thì quá khứ đơn.
Ví dụ:
- He was chatting with his friend when his mother came into the room. (Cậu ta đang tán gẫu với bạn
khi mẹ cậu ta vào phòng.)
Ta thấy có hai hành động đều xảy ra trong quá khứ: "tán gẫu với bạn" và "mẹ vào phòng". Vào thời
điểm đó hành động "tán gẫu với bạn" đang diễn ra thì bị xen ngang bởi hành động "mẹ vào phòng".
Vậy hành động đang diễn ra ta sẽ chia thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
- They were working when we got there. (Họ đang làm việc khi chúng tôi tới đó.)
Ta thấy hành động "làm việc" đang diễn ra và hành động "chúng tôi đến" xen vào. Hai hành động này
đều xảy ra trong quá khứ.
3. Diễn tả hai hành động đồng thời xảy ra tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ, trong câu có "while".
Tại một thời điểm trong quá khứ khi có 2 hành động đồng thời đang diễn ra sẽ chia cả hai hành động
đó ở thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.
Ví dụ:
- My mother was cooking lunch while my father was cleaning the floor at 10 am yesterday. (Mẹ tôi
đang nấu ăn trong khi bố tôi đang lau nhà lúc 10h sang hôm qua.)
- I was studying English while my brother was listening to music last night. (Tôi đang học tiếng Anh
trong khi anh trai tôi đang nghe nhạc tối hôm qua.)
