goals van deze les:

- ik heb een gemaakte plattegrond en de leerlingen houden zich hieraan. iedereen zit volgens mijn plattegrond, maar mocht dat tijdens deze les niet goed gaan, verander ik het zo dat iedereen zit zoals ik dat wil en dit kan betekenen dat je naast iemand komt te zitten die jij niet had opgeschreven. 

- Ik praat zoveel mogelijk engels 

- ik noteer van iedereen die geen boek bij zich heeft> materiaal vergeten 

- wat is mijn escalatie ladder? hoe zorg ik ervoor dat het stil is. Als de leerlingen binnen zijn om 08:15, begin ik gelijk met mijn les, ik noteer nog niet wie er wel of niet zijn. Ik begin met praten en ik geef aan, okey im going to start with the explanation of the grammar for this part i need about 10 minutes of silence after that you are going to work on the activity. So if you have a question raise your hand and don't interrupt. Als iemand erdoorheen praat waarschuwing een geven je praat erdoorheen en ik vind dat vervelend. Ik geef Ladino en de meiden ook max 3 waarschuwingen en dan zet ik ze apart. Hetzelfde geldt voor Thijs. 2 waarschuwingen en anders mag hij ergens anders zitten . als hij zich daar ook niet goed concentreert plaats ik degene buiten het lokaal 

The goals of this lesson are....

- I can use different tenses to talk about the past.

- I know the irregular verbs of page 4 and their meanings. 

Have a look at these sentences 

Present simple 

She wakes up at 7 am every day.

They dance during their free time.

I practice my painting skills a lot. 

The train leaves at 3 pm.

Present continuous

I am running late for school.

It is 

Past simple 

She ....... at 7 am yesterday. 

The train ....... at 3 pm.

Have a look at these sentences 

Present simple 

She wakes up at 7 am every day.

They dance during their free time.

I practice my painting skills a lot.

Present continuous

It is 

Past simple 

She woke up at 7 am yesterday. 

The train left at 3 pm.

Past continuous 

She was working yesterday.

They were building a house for a while. 

If we look at the present simple and present continuous what do you think the past simple and past continuous could look like? 

Past simple

When?  

to talk about a completed action in a time before now.

How?

We can make the past simple by using the whole verb and adding 'ed' at the end. 

> Yesterday Sophie worked very hard.

However, if a verb is irregular then the past simple may look different. (tweede rijtje)

> Yesterday the chickens laid eggs. (en dus niet layed) 

> We swam for over an hour today. (en dus niet swimed) 

LET OP! Bij negatieve en vraagzinnen veranderd het ww naar de tegenwoordige tijd. 

Pos.        They played a lot of games together when they were young.

Neg.       They didn't play a lot of games together when they were young. 

Quest.   Did they play a lot of games together when they were young?  

Past continuous

When?  

an action was already in progress at a certain time in the past.

How?

We can make the past continuous by:

using was/were + verb-ing

> It was raining a lot earlier. 

Examples

Pos.      We were studying when the phone rang.     

Neg.     We weren't studying when the phone rang.      

Quest.  Were we studying when the phone rang.              

To be

I was

You were

He/she/it was

They were

past simple and past continuous 

the past continuous is mostly used in combination with the past simple > 

1. I was running for the bus when I dropped my phone.

2. Jack fell asleep while he was watching tv.

3. The postman came while we were having breakfast. 

Each of these sentences has one activity that lasted longer and one thing that happened during that activity. The activity that lasted longer = present continuous and the thing that happens during it= past simple.
