Unit learning outcome: To apply the simple past tense of regular, irregular verbs, prepositions of
time and places to form complex sentences using a basic English vocabulary.
1
Objective: To use the words related to the topic to form sentences and in conversations.
Fishing Camping
Running
Shopping
kayak
2
Objective: To apply the simple past sentences to describe activities that happened before.
● The past Tense
The simple past also known as the past simple or the preterit Is the most basic form of the past
tense. We generally use the simple past to describe past actions events that happened before now.
The simple past of regular verbs is formed by adding ed to the bare infinitive Example:
Play /played
Watch/watched
Go /went
Do/Did
Form
The past simple form in affirmative use the following structure:
Past simple affirmative
SUBJECT VERB
I worked
You worked
He worked
She worked
It worked
We worked
You worked
They worked
Examples:
I went to the gym last week.
They worked a lot last year.
She cleaned the house.
● Simple past (-) We use the auxiliary did to form the negative structure.
The formula for making a simple past verb negative is did/did + not + [root form of verb]. You can
also use the contraction didin´t instead of did not.
Examples:
3
Paul did not want to share the pie.
I did not wash the car.
Listening-2D

Objective:
The past continuous describes actions or events in a time before now, which began in the past
and were still going on when another event occurred.
6
To form the structure of the past continuous tense we used the verb To Be
The past continuous of any verb is composed of two parts: The past tense of the verb “to be”
(was, were), and the base of the main verb ing. Examples:
7
Can I come in.” Paul Seligson and Clive Oxenden are the original co-authors of American English File 2
Student book.
EXAMPLES:
Answer the following questions according to the reading:
1. Where did Hannah meet Jamie?

b. In october.
c. In April
d. At the evening
Objective: Ask and answer questions words using the following words:
(What/How/Who/Which/Where).
8
Objective: To identify the questions words without using auxiliaries. When what, who, which or
whose is the subject or part of the subject, we do not use the auxiliary. We use the word order
subject + verb:
Examples:
These forms are the same when we add question words, the question word simply comes at the
beginning of the question:

Example:
“A nasty experience”
My grandmother didn´t notice anything at first, but when she went to bed that evening, she found
that her jewelry wasn’t in the usual place. And then she remembered the girls and called the police. They
were very sympathetic, but I don´t think they´ll ever catch the girls.
My grandmother had a terrible experience last weekend. She´s 82 years old, and she lives by
herself. I´ve always told her to be careful when she´s answering the door because you never know who´s
outside.
“What are you doing up there?” she shouted, and the girl said, “Can I use your bathroom, please?”
My grandmother said yes and didn´t worry about it, although the girl was upstairs for ages. She gave the
girl in the kitchen a glass of water. Then the second girl came downstairs, and they left.
My grandmother thought they looked like nice girls, so she invited them in. They looked around
the living room, and then one of them said, “Can I have a glass of water, please?” so my grandmother took
her into the kitchen. While they were in the kitchen, she heard the other one run upstairs.
Anyway, she was at home last Sunday. At about 4:00 in the afternoon, she heard someone knock
at the front door. She opened the door, and there were two girls outside, about 10 or 11 years old. “Hello,
12
“said one of the girls. “Our parents are going to buy a house like yours, in this area. Can we look at your
house, please?” We want to see what it's like”. Paul Seligson and Clive Oxenden are the original co-authors
of American English File 2 Workbook.

father's construction company. The youngest son has rented a flat near the family
home (his mother paid the first month's rent only).
B: So Maria and Mariano asked their sons to leave the family home in Zaragoza in
Spain. But the two boys didn't want to go. Then Mr. and Mrs. Serrano took an
unusual decision — they went to court.
C: Do you have rude and moody teenage children living in your house? Have you
ever secretly wanted to throw them out? A Spanish couple, Mr. and Mrs. Serrano,
from Zaragoza in Spain, have done exactly that.
D: Maria and her husband Mariano lived with their two sons, David, 20 and Mariano,
18. "The situation was impossible." said Maria. "We were always arguing, our
children were treating our house like a hotel, and they weren't contributing anything.
Also, they weren't studying or looking for work. They were complaining all the time
and insulting us. They didn't respect us. I love my children, but in the end, it was
ruining our lives."
E: Normally, under Spanish law parents do not have the right to make their children
leave home. But in this case the judge decided that the situation in the Serrano family
was "intolerable". He gave Mr. and Mrs. Serrano the right to tell their children to go.
Elizabeth Nash, The independent, October 18,1999

always true.
▪ Remember the spelling rules for 3rd person singular s:
2. Verbs ending with a consonant followed by -y: change -y to -i and add -es (cry ⇒ cries);
Study>studiesconsonant + y: replace “y” and add ies
3. Verbs with suffixes -ch, -s, -sh, -x, -z: add -es (watch ⇒ watches; kiss ⇒ kisses; crush ⇒
crushes; tax ⇒ taxes; buzz ⇒ buzzes);
Finish>finishes sh, s, ch, x: add es
▪ We often use the simple present with adverbs of frequency (always, often, sometimes,
usually, hardly ever, never).
▪ Adverbs of frequency usually go before the main verb, but after be.
He never goes out. NOT He goes never out.
She’s always late. NOT She’s late always.
9
▪ Expressions of frequency (every day, once a week,etc.) usually go at the end of a sentence. I
have English classes twice a week.
