4M English

Today:

- past tenses (verledentijds vormen)

- writing

Past simple

actie/gebeurtenis die in het verleden heeft plaatsgevonden. 

- er is geen link naar nu 

Je maakt de past simple door: 

regular verbs (work-like-grab): add -ed 

irregular verbs (see-win-fly) : uit je hoofd leren. (p. 175-177)

Past continuous

actie in het verleden, die ook in het verleden is gestopt. 

Je maakt de past continuous door: 

were/was + verb + ing

Past simple vs. continuous

Je kan deze 2 vormen samen in een zin gebruiken. 

Lange actie/actie die eerder begon: past continuous

korte actie/actie die iets onderbreekt: past simple

Present perfect

iets in in het verleden begonnen en nu nog steeds relevant of aan de gang.

- er is een link tussen toen en nu

Je maakt de present perfect door: 

have/has + past participle (3e rijtje irregular verbs p. 175-177) 

regular verbs = walk -> walked 

irregular verbs = see -> seen
