Blogging Back in Time

Blogging Back in Time

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to write a blog in the past tense with correct grammar and structure.

Understanding the Past Tense

The past tense describes actions that have already happened. 

It uses specific verb forms to indicate the time of an action in the past.

Choosing Your Topic

Select a topic or experience that you want to write about in your blog in the past tense. It could be a personal story, a historical event, or a fictional narrative.

In the blog you are going to write about your last holiday.

Structuring Your Blog

Plan the introduction, body, and conclusion of your blog. Use past tense verbs to narrate the events and experiences in a chronological order.

Verb Conjugation

Conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the past tense. Regular verbs add '-ed' to form the past tense, while irregular verbs have unique past tense forms.

Describing Past Events

Use descriptive language and vivid details to bring past events to life in your blog. Engage the readers by painting a clear picture of the past experiences.

Editing and Revising

Review your blog for correct verb tenses, grammar, and clarity. Make necessary revisions to ensure that your writing flows smoothly in the past tense.

Sharing Your Blog

Once you have written and revised your blog in the past tense, share it with your classmates or publish it online. Reflect on the experience and feedback received.
