Monday 9 november 5th hour - Unit 1: Stepping Stones Test

Grammar (p. 77); past simple affirmative, questions and negatives/negations

Extra material:

Grammar: Past simple: regular and Past simple: irregular (p. 52 + p. 53

Grammar: Past simple: questions and Past simple: negations (p. 69 + p. 70)

Past Simple: Affirmative

Step 1: the past simple affirmative = verledentijd

Step 2: You need 1 verb (werkwoord) to make the past simple affirmative

Step 3: the regular verbs in the past simple affirmative end with -ed

For example: I waited in line at the airport

Step 4: Irregular verbs in the past simple affirmative can end in different ways (see p. 215 + 216 for irregular verbs)

Example: She bought a new suitcase (bought comes from the verb to buy, in the past it becomes bought)

Past Simple: Questions

There are three different ways to make a past simple question

Past Simple: Questions (1)

Step 1: Past simple question = verledentijd

Step 2: You can use 2 verbs; 1 verb is a form of to be in the past and the second verb is an auxiliary verb.

Step 3: You use a form of to be (was/were) in the past (verledentijd)

Example: Was that man ill last week? or Were the girls at the party yesterday?

Step 4: You use an auxiliary verb = hulpwerkwoord (could or would)

Example: Could he solve the mystery? or Would you mind sitting somewhere else?

Past Simple: Questions (2)

Step 1: Past simple question = verledentijd

Step 2: You can use 2 verbs; 1 verb is a form of to do in the past; the second verb is an infinitive (present tense verb)

Step 3: You always start the sentence with to do in the past (did = do in the past)

Example: Did the man listen to Jack?

Step 4: Your second verb always comes later in the sentence and is always in the present tense

Example: Did (= 1st verb) the man listen (= second verb; infinitive = the present tense) to Jack

Past Simple: Questions (3)

Step 1: Past simple question = verledentijd

Step 2: wh-questions; always start with who, what, which, when, where or how (these are called interrogative pronouns)

Example:

Where did you leave your keys? (here you can also see a form of to do in the past and an infinitive form verb, those are did and leave)

How was the pasta? (Here you see a form of the verb to be in the past as well: was)

Past Simple: Negations

There are two ways to make a negative sentence in the past simple

Past Simple: Negations (1)

Step 1: past simple negations = verledentijd

Step 2: You use 2 verbs for negations; 1 verb is a form of to be in the past (was/were); 1 verb is an auxiliary verb that ends in -n't (wouldn't/couldn't)

Step 3: 1 verb in the form of to be in the past simple negations (were/was ending with -n't)

Example: It wasn't sunny yesterday or my parents weren't home this morning

Step 4: 1 verb sentence that contains an auxiliary verb in the negative form

Example: I couldn't see the Mona Lisa in Paris or He wouldn't pass me the sugar

Past Simple: Negations (2)

Step 1: past simple negations = verledentijd

Step 2: You use 2 verbs in a sentence: 1 verb is ALWAYS didn't; 1 verb is ALWAYS an infinitive (present simple form of a verb)

Example: "We didn't =(1st verb didn't) bring (infinitive = present simple form)lunch or "Our friends didn't laugh at my joke"
