00:00:01,070 --> 00:00:05,849
Good morning, Buyside Girls. How are you today? I hope that you are fine.

2
00:00:06,549 --> 00:00:12,789
I know that the situation is difficult, but I think that you are doing it really, really great.

3
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:17,710
I'm checking all your pieces of work and I'm very happy with your work.

4
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:23,449
So I must tell you that you are doing it awesome. Congratulations.

5
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:27,629
Why am I preparing this video today?

6
00:00:27,629 --> 00:00:38,630
Because I think that it's important that all together review important things to keep in mind regarding simple past.

7
00:00:41,109 --> 00:00:49,710
In our seal of paper about the simple past, we can see the way we use it compared with the simple present.

8
00:00:49,710 --> 00:01:03,909
So, here we can see that if we are speaking about yesterday, yesterday morning, last week, last Friday, yesterday evening, last weekend or last month,

9
00:01:03,909 --> 00:01:30,489
We must use was or wasn't, were or weren't, instead of is or isn't, and are or aren't that are the forms of the verb to be, that is this special verb that we are studying, but when we are speaking about the present.

10
00:01:30,489 --> 00:01:43,689
So, following this worksheet and the different color boxes, we can say, I was at school yesterday.

11
00:01:43,689 --> 00:01:48,310
I wasn't at the supermarket yesterday morning.

12
00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:57,450
She was at a restaurant last Friday, or she wasn't at the library last week.

13
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:03,430
and also they were at the swimming pool last weekend

14
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:07,890
or they weren't in Madrid last month.

15
00:02:07,890 --> 00:02:16,689
So, very, very important to remember the people,

16
00:02:17,689 --> 00:02:20,669
the subjects that are going with was

17
00:02:20,669 --> 00:02:24,110
and the ones that are going with were.

18
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:34,090
We must remember that we must use I was, he, she or it was

19
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:39,169
And then we, you and they always with were

20
00:02:39,169 --> 00:02:42,069
How do we remember this?

21
00:02:42,069 --> 00:02:45,030
Because we already know the simple present

22
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:51,210
And we know that I, he, she and it are going with is

23
00:02:51,210 --> 00:02:56,530
and we, you and they, are going, we, are.

24
00:02:57,449 --> 00:03:04,629
Now, when this is clear, let's continue checking the questions.

25
00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:09,169
Regarding the questions,

26
00:03:09,789 --> 00:03:12,870
first thing that is very, very important to notice

27
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:17,189
is that there are different types of questions.

28
00:03:17,189 --> 00:03:30,219
Here we can see that these questions are starting directly with the verb to be.

29
00:03:30,219 --> 00:03:39,099
So here the thing that we have to do is switch the order between the subject in the affirmative

30
00:03:39,099 --> 00:03:47,979
sentence and the verb to be in the past and then we say the verb first and then the subject.

31
00:03:47,979 --> 00:04:00,639
Instead of telling, I was at a school yesterday, for the question we say, was I at a school yesterday?

32
00:04:02,219 --> 00:04:05,240
And how do we answer to these questions?

33
00:04:06,219 --> 00:04:09,800
For these questions we need yes or no.

34
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:11,900
Yes, I was.

35
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:13,620
No, I wasn't.

36
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:18,319
but always we need to answer with a yes or no.

37
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,120
But there are other types of questions,

38
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,100
as this one that you see here in the second part,

39
00:04:29,259 --> 00:04:33,939
that are starting with particles, words,

40
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360
like where, what, with, who.

41
00:04:39,379 --> 00:04:42,540
Why do they start using these words?

42
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:46,519
because they are not asking for a yes or no.

43
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:52,279
They are asking about a location or place, a thing,

44
00:04:54,019 --> 00:05:01,560
the person that is in one place at one time,

45
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:05,339
but not for a yes or no.

46
00:05:05,899 --> 00:05:09,319
For example, where was I yesterday?

47
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,360
we can't answer to this question telling

48
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,639
yes I was or no I wasn't because they are asking

49
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,740
where, they are asking the place, the location

50
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:24,220
so then how do we answer to this question

51
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:29,519
like for example I was at home yesterday

52
00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:32,740
imagine that they ask you

53
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:39,410
what were you doing yesterday

54
00:05:39,410 --> 00:05:44,769
they are not asking you for a yes or a no

55
00:05:44,769 --> 00:05:48,589
they are asking you for the thing that you were doing yesterday

56
00:05:48,589 --> 00:05:54,170
so you must answer with something like

57
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:59,790
I was listening to music yesterday

58
00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:03,730
so it's very very important to notice

59
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:07,269
that the words that appear here with red color

60
00:06:07,269 --> 00:06:10,930
are different than the word that appears here

61
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:15,009
with blue color. So it's different, the past

62
00:06:15,009 --> 00:06:19,269
of the bird to be, that is with red color, and

63
00:06:19,269 --> 00:06:23,209
the word that we can find at the beginning of the question

64
00:06:23,209 --> 00:06:27,009
asking for a place or location.

65
00:06:28,029 --> 00:06:30,769
So here in this example, we can see

66
00:06:30,769 --> 00:06:34,110
where were the earrings that day?

67
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:37,889
the earrings were on the table

68
00:06:37,889 --> 00:06:40,170
on the 23rd of April

69
00:06:40,170 --> 00:06:45,610
where red color is the simple past

70
00:06:45,610 --> 00:06:46,750
of the bird to be

71
00:06:46,750 --> 00:06:51,069
indicating the place where the earrings

72
00:06:51,069 --> 00:06:54,329
on the location where the earrings were that day

73
00:06:54,329 --> 00:06:56,350
and where with blue color

74
00:06:56,350 --> 00:06:58,649
is asking for this location

75
00:06:58,649 --> 00:07:03,370
please be careful with the spelling

76
00:07:03,370 --> 00:07:05,410
of these two words

77
00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:13,310
and don't confuse them i know that is tricky but you can do it really really well if you pay

78
00:07:13,310 --> 00:07:22,680
attention just a little bit of attention please keep it on your mind so boys and girls i send you

79
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:30,459
