You've earned 

a silent 5 min break!

Hello and welcome back!

Before you start:

Have some earphones/air pods

at the ready, you'll need them 

:)

Next topic: Talking 

about the past

Past events

When we talk about past events, we use the past simple (verleden tijd): 
Apple launched the first portable computer in the 1990s

Google started in 2000

And let's 

not forget

the irregular 

verbs

(onregelmatige

werkwoorden)

But when happens when you talk about more than 1 event in the past?

Clip

Next up will be a trailer for a World War 1 documentary called They Shall Not Grow Old, directed by Peter Jackson. Tip: use English subtitles!
To do:
Write down on a piece of paper as many verbs (werkwoorden) as you can as you see/hear them during this trailer.

Culture Fact:

November 11th is Remembrance Day in the UK (dodenherdenking), where they take a moment to remember all the people that have lost their lives during English conflicts. The poppy (klaproos) is the symbol for this moment and is worn in public by a lot of people.

Some examples from the clip

"I was just sixteen and my father allowed me to go"

"I had just turned seventeen at the time"

"When they came to us they were frightened children and had to be made into soldiers"

In what tense (tijd) are these verbs (werkwoorden) written?

Past Perfect 

When we talk about an action in the past that was finished before another action in the past we use 2 tenses (tijden):

past simple and past perfect

Tip: Take notes during the clip that is coming up!

Once more,

a summary
