Summer of '69 – Bryan Adams

Hopefully, you have filled in the correct form of the past simple into the lyrics of the song text.

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five and dime

Played it 'til my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you got a job to do

I spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you, yeah!

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man, we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever

Forever, no

Yeah

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when I play that old six-string

I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh

It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah

Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh

It was the summer, summer, summer of '69

PAST SIMPLE

Past simple vs. present perfect

Past Simple

Je gebruikt de Past Simple als iets gebeurd is in de verleden tijd en ook beëindigd is.

Wij noemen de Past Simple de Verleden Tijd.

 Regelmatige werkwoorden (rww)

Achter het werkwoord plaats je 'ed'

I walk -> I walked

it rains-> it rained

they beg-> they begged

 RWW Spelling

Als een werkwoord eindigt op -e, dan komt er in de past simple alleen een -d achter:

I live - I lived

you move - you moved

In de past simple wordt de laatste medeklinker verdubbeld als er één klinker voor staat:

I drop - I dropped

they plan - they planned

 RWW Spelling

Als een werkwoord eindigt op -y, dan komt er in de past simple een -ied achter:

I carry- I carried

you study- you studied

In de past simple komt er een -ed achter als er een klinker voor staat:

I play - I played

Past Simple - Onregelmatige werkwoorden

Sommige werkwoorden zijn onregelmatig (OWW) en dat betekent dat ze geen '-ed' krijgen maar hun eigen vorm hebben.

to write  -> wrote    I wrote her a letter last week.

to go       -> went      He went to Italy last year.

to make -> made     They made a very nice meal two days ago.

Past Simple - OWW

Er zijn geen regels voor de OWW, je moet ze uit je hoofd leren. Je pakt voor de Past Simple de 2e kolom.

see - saw - seen

come - came - come

Past Simple Signaalwoorden

In de zin staat vaak een tijdsbepaling van verleden tijd.

• yesterday
• last week
• ten minutes ago
• in 2007
• this morning
