English lessons

Level 3 mbo: no exams

Lessons adapted to what you need to learn

Focus on skills: writing, speaking, reading, listening

Level 4: Centraal examen: lezen/luisteren, schoolexamens: speaking/writing

Grammar: past simple

Today, we talk about how the past simple is made (negative, questions) and when it's used. 

When do we use it?

When we talk about something that happened in the past. It started in the past and it finished in the past.

-  This can be once: "I walked to school yesterday". (one specific moment in the past) 

- It can be more than once: "when I was young, I walked to school every day, now I go by car". (happened every day, but doesn't happen anymore)

- Or it happened for some time in the past: "I lived next to my school when I was younger"  (happened for a longer time, you lived there 3 years) 

Ask which words are verbs

How do we make it

Regular: verb + ed. Walked, jumped, climbed

Word already ends in e: +d. lived, hated

Irregular: many diferent ones. It's a matter of learning

- Positive: I walked to school yesterday

- Negative (something that didn't happen): Didn't + hele werkwoord: I didn't walk to school yesterday.

- Question: Did + hele werkwoord: did you walk to school yesterday

NB: the negative and questions sentences have "did/didn't" and then the whole verb. A bit strange, it's the past simple and you don't use a form of the past! But it is the truth. After did/didnt: whole verb, so NOT: "I didn't walked to school yesterday."
