Elementary Levels - Lesson 16: Past Experiences

hello everyone today we are going to talk about historical events past experiences and how to use a simple past tense first we will look at some useful vocabulary there are some time expressions that we often use when we talk about the past and these are take a look at your screen this morning last tonight yesterday two days ago last week two weeks ago last month last year two years ago in 1990 a long time ago at three o'clock so we use time expressions like these with the simple past tense to say when something happened before now for example take a look at these examples on your screen last night I watched TV at home yesterday I played football with my friends I moved to my new house in 1999 when we use the simple past tense we usually change regular verbs to the past tense by adding II D look at these verbs to see how they change for the past tense watch becomes watched we add Edie cook becomes cooked listen listened relaxed relaxed call called let's see more examples and then invented work worked discover discovered need needed want wanted now when we speak we pronounce the IDI sound like a soft D or a soft T listen to how I pronounce the following words watched watched with the T sound played played with the D sound work worked with the T sound when the last sound of a word is a D or a T sound we pronounce the e D like it listen again invited invited so it sounds like ID needed needed wanted wanted all right now let's practice some of these simple past sounds Alberto when did Christopher Columbus discover America he discovered America in 1492 very good Sylvia what did you do last night I watched TV okay Linda what did you do I rented a video and watched it which video did you rent now I ranted Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio oh I see Sylvia what did you do last Saturday I played tennis with my friends okay good Linda what did you do I rent I shopped for new shoes and Alberta I worked on my English oh good boy Sylvia when did you last take a vacation um last year okay Alberto when did you start to study English I stopped one year ago okay in Linda when did you see your grandfather mmm maybe a month ago okay good answers everyone all right now let's look and listen look and listen we traveled to Spain last year I worked in England two years ago he finished University last year he started his new job last month she cooked dinner two hours ago read and repeat with most regular verbs we usually just add edy to create the simple past but you must be careful with the spelling of some verbs when a verb ends with E we just a daddy hey so for example exercise in the past tense becomes exercised so we just add the D invite in the past tense becomes invited again we just add the D so exercise exercised invite invited now when a word ends and why when it ends with a y after another consonant we change the Y to I II D okay so for example study ends and a Y after a consonant after the D so in the past tense we write studied change the Y the Y becomes an i before the IDI same with cry because the Y comes after the are a consonant past tense it becomes cried Y changes to I and then we add IDI so study studied cry cried okay more irregular spellings when a word ends with a Y after a vowel okay we change we don't change anything we just add Edie for the past tense so play ends and a why after A which is a vowel so in the past tense we write play plus Edie played okay same with stay again the Y comes after a vowel after the a so in the past tense it's stay and we add Edie stayed so play becomes played stay becomes stayed all right when a word ends with a consonant after a vowel okay we add or we double the last letter then add Edie so shop ends in a consonant after a vowel so for the past tense we have to double the key and add Edie stop isn't a consonant after the vowel so in the past tense we need to double the last consonant which is P and add Edie so shop becomes shopped stop becomes stopped all of these verbs are called regular verbs because we change them by adding ad or ie D to the verb okay some verbs are irregular and change completely when we use them in the simple past tense here are some common irregular verbs take a look at your screen go does not become gold it changes completely in the past tense and it becomes went come changes to came by in the past is bought do becomes did find becomes found eat past tenses ate drink is drank all right let's also look at the verb to be in its simple past tense so in the president's we have am is or are but in the past tense the verb to be becomes was or were read has the same spelling in the past tense but the sound changes so it becomes read write changes to wrote here changes to heard see is saw catch is caught so of course when we use simple past we need to change the verb to the simple past form look at some examples we watched TV on Tuesday night they stayed in a hotel last summer when we want to make a negative sentence then we use the helping verb didn't or did not but we don't change the main verb the main verb just stays in that simple form look at these examples we didn't watch TV on Tuesday night she didn't hear the phone ring so the main verb stays the same and you just add the helping verb didn't okay let's practice using some of these verbs to talk about the past Silvia could you tell me what you did yesterday yesterday I went to the cinema good now Linda can you tell me what you did last night last night I read a book excellent Alberto what did you do two days ago two days ago I wrote a letter to my friend Sylvia ask Alberto a question okay Alberto what did you do last weekend hmm I went shopping last weekend what did you buy I bought some nice shoes good now Alberto please ask Silvia a question okay Silvia did you study English last year no I didn't study English last year I started my class this year good Silvia now can you please ask Linda a question Linda what time did you get up this morning I got up at 8 o clock this morning okay that was very good everyone in English there are three ways of asking questions look at the chart please now first type of question is a yes/no question for example did he ask a question yes he did or no he didn't now let's look at the structure we use did as our helping verb we start with that then add the subject he plus your verb ask and your object a question so it becomes did he ask a question and remember when we use the helping verb did the main verb stays unchanged in the simple form all right the second type of question is an information question about the action about the verb for example what did he ask he asked a question structure is what question word + did helping verb + T your subject and your verb ask so what did he ask third type of question is an information question about the subject he she or it for example who asked a question he asked a question structure is question word which is the subject who plus your verb asked + object a question who asked a question okay now take a look at this question did you watch TV on Tuesday night yes I watched TV next example did you go to the cinema yes I went to the cinema when we want to ask yes/no questions we use the helping verb did or didn't but we don't change the main verb in this case the main verb is watch so it stays in its simple form when we answer the question with a positive verb of course we have to change the main verb to its past tense form in this case we changed go to went but when the answer is negative we change the helping verb from don't - didn't and the main verb stays the same in its simple form let's take a look at the answers yes I went to school yesterday it's positive so the main verb has to change to the simple past form or no I didn't go to school yesterday it's negative so we change the helping verb from don't to didn't and the main verb stays in its simple form go so we use the helping verb do for questions and negative sentences when we ask information questions with question words we use the question word and the helping verb together let me show you so you say when did question word and you're helping verb together or we're did why did who did or how did so you start with your question word and your helping verb when did where did why did who did and he'll did okay let's do some more practice asking questions using the simple past tense Alberto can you ask Silvia a question please yes Silvia what did you eat for breakfast I ate some cheese and some bread good now Sylvia ask Linda a question Linda where did you go yesterday I went to the museum that was very good now Linda asked Alberto a question please okay did you walk to school yesterday no I didn't walk sooo cool I caught the bus all right it's very good everyone now it's time again you look and listen look and listen did the students go to Italy last year yes they went to Italy last year what did they do in Italy they visited a lot of museums did you walk to school this morning no we didn't we caught the bus to school this morning read and repeat now let's try some exercises you fill in the blanks with the correct simple past verb form okay Sylvia you starts hmm you go to the cinema yesterday simple path Sylvia did you go to the cinema yesterday did you go to the cinema yesterday good okay now Alberto when hmm man first land on the moon men first mm-hmm on the moon in 1969 van Dyck man first land on the moon man first landed on the moon in 1969 okay when did man first land on the moon man first landed on the moon in 1969 all right Linda

the United Kingdom join Europe the United Kingdom joined Europe in 1973 all right you're all doing so well we have to do some more okay she mm-hmm to France two weeks ago Sylvia she went to France two weeks ago okay she went France two weeks ago remember go is an irregular verb so it changes completely in the past tense okay now Linda mm-hmm English last year I didn't speak English last year good I didn't speak English last year it's negative so we need our helping verb didn't okay Alberto to your turn mm-hmm your girlfriend yesterday Alberto did you see your girlfriend yesterday did you see good did you see your girlfriend yesterday okay Albert I'll try these two answers no I mm-hmm her yesterday and I mm-hmm her two days ago past tense Alberto no I didn't see her yesterday good I saw her two days ago very good no I didn't see her yesterday I saw her two days ago so remember see isn't a regular verb it changes to saw in the past tense when it's positive okay good job everyone now here is a very short story read the story in answer with simple past tense sentences to take a look at your screen last week Susan went to the library and she read a book about the history of Turkey she learned that the Turkish Republic started in 1923 and at the first leader of the new Turkish Republic when a man called mustafa kemal ataturk he was born in Salonika in 1881 and died in 1938 his body was moved to the unknit Kabir in 1953 Susan thought the book was very interesting and she decided to visit Turkey for her holiday this year now answer the questions about the story Sylvia where

died in 1938 okay Sylvia also the last one when was his body moved his body was moved in 1953 okay that was very good now you know a little bit more about history sometimes when we talk about the past we use a special verb and it's called used to we use this verb used to when we talk about things we did in the past so habits or routines in the past that we don't do any longer when we use this verb in positive sentences we always use the simple past form used to and another verb in it's simple form so we don't change the main verb okay let's take a look at some examples using used to to talk about the past when I was a child I used to play hide-and-seek he used to be fat but now he is thin she used to live in England but she lives in ýstanbul now I used to smoke but I don't anymore they used to work here but they left last year so for negative sentences we use the helping verb didn't plus used to in it's simple form plus another verb in it's simple form okay here are some more examples when I was a child I didn't use to speak English he didn't used to be fat but now he is she didn't used to like opera but she does now I didn't used to smoke but I do now they didn't used to work here but now they do okay when we use this verb in yes/no questions we always use the helping verb did or didn't plus the subject plus use to in its simple form plus another verb in its simple form for example take a look did you used to ride a bike when you were a child did he use to be fat didn't she used to live in London did you use to smoke did they used to work here with positive questions did you the speaker doesn't know the answer the answer may be yes or it may be no with negative questions didn't you the speaker thinks he knows the answer but he's not sure so that's why he's asking okay take a look at this question didn't you used to live in London means the same as I think you used to live in London but I'm not sure so I'm asking you so I can be sure okay now with information questions we use a question word and used to look at these examples what did you use to do when you were a child where did you used to live when did you use to go to bed when you were a
