Welcome one more time to our English class.
00:00:00
Today we're going to work on pages 17, 18 and 19 of our textbook.
00:00:07
You have to work, by the way, to do the activities in the online book.
00:00:17
As you can see, these pages deal with the review of past tenses.
00:00:23
And to be more specific, with the past simple, past continuous and used to.
00:00:30
So let's start.
00:00:39
We're going to begin with the past simple and past continuous together.
00:00:41
The past simple is this tense that we use for finished actions in the past.
00:00:50
And particularly when we know, when we say or ask or know when they happened.
00:01:04
What we have to do is to write the verb or to add an ed to the verb most of the time.
00:01:12
Because there are also irregular verbs.
00:01:24
which reminds me by the way that you have to know in further verso your
00:01:27
irregular verbs you have to know the basics don't panic because most verbs
00:01:34
aren't irregular but there are some that you have to know about so please make
00:01:39
sure that you know them please revise them if you don't I'm sure you can find
00:01:44
lists there's probably one in your book as in the internet you're gonna find
00:01:49
plenty of lists of irregular verbs or ask me if you don't. Here you have some
00:01:55
examples of sentences in the past simple. She was born in Berlin. They got married
00:02:03
last year. On the way to Rome we stopped in Florence for the night.
00:02:13
and then we've got a negative the first two were affirmative in the question so
00:02:19
what do we have to focus on when we are writing a sentence in the negative form
00:02:31
in the passive you have to remember that we use do but this time do goes in the
00:02:36
past simple so write didn't and the main verb does not receive the ed now the
00:02:46
main verb goes in the infinity form which reminds me by the way
00:02:54
that in the past simple we have to add no s there are no changes for the verb
00:03:00
with any of the persons something similar happens with the questions we
00:03:07
use date, we write it before the subject, before you in this case, and then we
00:03:15
write the main verb in the infinitive form. It would be redundant to write an
00:03:24
ed now because the ed, the past, is already implied, is already shown in do.
00:03:28
As for the past continuous, the past continuous, the form of the past
00:03:36
continues is quite different. First of all you have to make sure you use these
00:03:46
two elements, the verb to be in the past and then the main verb with the ING form.
00:03:55
It's super important because if you don't write one or the other, the verb to be
00:04:07
or the ing, it is not correctly formed. Now, as opposed to what we said that
00:04:12
happened with the past simple, you have to remember that we use was with he, she
00:04:20
or it and we use were with all the other persons. It does change. So, what do we use
00:04:30
the past continuous for? We use, you can see it here, we use the past continuous to talk about
00:04:40
an action in progress at a specific time in the past. Look at example number one.
00:04:48
What were you doing at six o'clock last night? It's like, yeah, an action that is happening at
00:04:55
6 o'clock you were doing something. It's an action in progress but in the past. We also use the past
00:05:04
continuous to describe an action in progress that was interrupted by another action. As you can see
00:05:14
here in number two. This action that interrupts goes in the past simple. Look at example number
00:05:21
2. I was driving along the motorbike. I was driving. This is an action in progress, in
00:05:32
the past. And suddenly, then, it started snowing. So, the action of me driving along the motorway
00:05:39
was interrupted by the snow. So, this goes in the past continuous, the action in progress,
00:05:48
and this goes in the past simple. It started snowing. Something that you
00:05:56
have to look at or you also have to look at when talking or using the past
00:06:08
continuous and the past simple, they usually go combined as we've just seen.
00:06:14
so you can see that we use while with past continuous while I was doing the
00:06:19
housework the children were playing in the garden beautiful and we use use are
00:06:33
you gonna find when with the past simple not with the past continues okay it is
00:06:40
also explained number three we often use the past continues with while for two
00:06:47
actions happening at the same time but also it is true that you can find in an
00:06:50
example like in number two where there is an action in progress interrupted by
00:06:57
another but this time there will be a change I would say while I was driving
00:07:01
along the motorbike the motorway it started snowing finally another use a
00:07:06
last use of the past continuous is to the use of the past continuous to
00:07:15
describe the beginning of a story or an anecdote like you can see in number four
00:07:21
it was a cold night and it was raining I was watching TV in the sitting room so
00:07:25
that's basically it for the past simple and past continuous as a summary we use
00:07:33
the past simple for an action that happens in a specific at a specific time
00:07:39
in the past the verb goes in ED form or if it's irregular in another form but
00:07:43
the one that corresponds for questions and negatives we use did in the past
00:07:51
continues is used for an action that is in progress in the past in the form of
00:07:58
the past continuous is the verb to be in the past, was or were, and the main verb in the
00:08:08
ING form. Many times we use past simple and past continuous together to express that an
00:08:14
action that was in progress in the past is interrupted by another action. That's the
00:08:23
action that is in progress goes in the past continuous and the action that interrupts
00:08:30
is the past simple. In these cases we can use WHILE and WHEN to introduce the
00:08:34
actions. We use one or the other, not the two at the same time, and we use WHILE
00:08:48
with past continuous and when with past simple. Let's move on now to USED TO.
00:08:54
USED TO is a tense or is a form of the verb that is
00:09:09
It's usually used for expressing or talking about past habits.
00:09:19
We used to live in the city, but now we live by the sea.
00:09:26
We don't live in the city anymore.
00:09:31
Let's see how it goes.
00:09:33
I used to play tennis, but now I play only football.
00:09:34
When I was little, I used to play tennis, but now I play only football.
00:09:38
So, it's like we said, this is the use for past habits and past routines that are not true anymore.
00:09:42
This is the positive form of used to.
00:09:54
You need used to and the main verb in infinity form.
00:09:58
Used to play.
00:10:07
I played tennis in the past, but now I don't play it.
00:10:11
Let's look at other forms of this form of the verb.
00:10:14
I didn't used to eat apples, but now I love them.
00:10:23
This means that in the past, I didn't eat apples, but now I do.
00:10:28
This is the negative form of didn't used to.
00:10:38
So look at how it goes.
00:10:42
We use did in the negative form.
00:10:44
like we said that we do, we have to do
00:10:49
for the past simple
00:10:51
and the verb that follows, which is use
00:10:53
goes in infinity form
00:10:55
it doesn't have
00:10:57
ed anymore
00:10:58
the following verb, the main verb
00:11:00
goes in infinity form too
00:11:03
I didn't
00:11:05
use to
00:11:07
it, full stop
00:11:09
how about questions
00:11:11
did he used to
00:11:15
go to school
00:11:20
Did he go to school every day in the past?
00:11:21
For questions, we use did as well.
00:11:25
We use the subject.
00:11:29
Like any question in the past simple,
00:11:30
the verb that follows goes in infinitive form
00:11:32
and the main verb goes in infinitive form too.
00:11:35
Did, subject, use in infinitive form
00:11:39
and then the in infinitive form.
00:11:44
This is basically it.
00:11:48
so this is a very simple structure
00:11:49
but you just have to get used to using it
00:11:53
to refer to things that you used to do in the past
00:11:56
but you don't do anymore
00:12:01
Guys, as usual, now it's time for you to do your practice
00:12:02
