2
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:31,050
grammar today we are going to revise the simple past and the past continues in affirmative

3
00:00:31,050 --> 00:00:38,850
sentences you have to think about the verb regular verbs need to be added an

4
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:48,990
ed at the end of the verb I played last week irregular verbs change so in the

5
00:00:48,990 --> 00:00:57,090
present we have win and in the past won he won the trophy therefore you have to

6
00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:02,310
study the difference between regular and irregular verbs. Now we are going to see

7
00:01:02,310 --> 00:01:09,750
the past continuous. In affirmative we use the verb to be in the past and we

8
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:19,370
add ing to our verb. I was playing. He was winning. Now in the negative sentences

9
00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:25,730
you only have to add didn't as an auxiliary verb. I didn't play last week.

10
00:01:25,730 --> 00:01:29,209
He didn't win the trophy.

11
00:01:29,209 --> 00:01:37,030
In past continuous, negative sentences are formed just writing wasn't or weren't.

12
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:40,969
I wasn't playing with ing.

13
00:01:40,969 --> 00:01:44,609
He wasn't playing.

14
00:01:44,609 --> 00:01:50,170

15
00:01:50,170 --> 00:01:52,069

16
00:01:52,069 --> 00:01:55,290
You can answer in an affirmative way.

17
00:01:55,290 --> 00:02:06,290
they did or in a negative way no they didn't in past continuous we also put

18
00:02:06,290 --> 00:02:12,669
the word to be in the past before the subject where they winning you can

19
00:02:12,669 --> 00:02:21,849
answer in an affirmative way yes they were or in a negative way no they

20
00:02:21,849 --> 00:02:34,629
