3.3.1. PAST SIMPLE TENSE

The past tense in English is used to talk about the past:

Something that happened again and again in the past:

When I was a boy I walked a mile to school every day.
We swam a lot while we were on holiday.
They always enjoyed visiting their friends.

Something that was true for some time in the past:

I lived abroad for ten years.
He enjoyed being a student.
She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.
GFPI-F-019 V
Questions and negatives
We use did to make questions with the past tense:
When did you meet your wife?
Where did you go for your holidays?
Did she play tennis when she was younger?
Did you live abroad?

The simple past tense is used to talk about finished actions that happened at a specific time in the past. You state
when it happened using a time adverb. You form the simple past of a verb by adding - ed onto the end of a regular
verb but, irregular verb forms have to be learnt.

You use the simple past tense to mention:

 A time in the past:
For example: "Last month Lucia got married with Edward"
 It can be used to describe events that happened over a period of time in the past but not now.
For example: "I lived in the United States for three years."
 The simple past tense is also used to talk about habitual or repeated actions that took place in the past.
For example: "When Valerie was a child we always went to the park every afternoon."

ACTIVITY PAST SIMPLE TENSE:

1. Using the past tense expressions that are below make sentences indicating the activities that you did in the
past. These expressions usually go at the end or at the beginning of the sentences. For example:
Yesterday I went to the doctor.
 Yesterday. Two days ago. A day before yesterday.
 Last night, last week, last month, last year.
 An hour ago.
 Recently.
 A little while ago.
 A long time ago.
 In the past.
 This morning.
 During the day.
 In 2010

GFPI-F-019 V
When I was a child …

2. Teach "today", "yesterday" and "tomorrow" The lesson is based around what your students did yesterday, so
we will begin with three important time words.

Take a calendar and sit down with your students looking at it … it won't be long before everyone takes an interest in
what you are doing. If you have already taught days of the week and months, point to different days and months and
ask what they are. You can also ask students to show you on the calendar when their birthdays are, Christmas and
other holidays.

Next, point at today's date on the calendar and ask, "What day is this?" As well as the actual day (e.g. Wednesday)
teach "today". Then point to the days before and after today's date and teach "yesterday" and "tomorrow"

3. Fill the gaps with the correct form of the verb: in past tense, past participle and base form.

3.3.2. USED TO USE 1 Habit in the

Past

"Used to" expresses the idea that something was

an old habit that stopped in the past. It indicates
that something was often repeated in the past, but
it is not usually done now.

Examples:
 Henry used to study English.
 Victoria and Matthew used to go to Canada in the winter.
 I used to start work at 7 o'clock.
 Christian used to eat meat, but now he is a vegetarian.

Did I use to do?

Did you use to do?
Did she/ he use to do?
Did it use to do?
Did we use to do?
Did you use to do?
Did they use to do?

USE 2 Past Facts and Generalizations

"Used to" can also be used to talk about past facts
or generalizations which are no longer true.

Examples:
 I used to live in L.A.
 Anne used to be fat, but now she is thin.
 Andrew used to be the best student in class, but now Kathy is the best.
 Apples used to cost very little in Florida, but now they are quite expensive.
"Used to" vs. Simple Past
Both Simple Past and "Used to" can be used to describe past habits, past facts and past generalizations; however,
"used to" is preferred when emphasizing these forms of past repetition in positive sentences. On the other hand,
when asking questions or making negative sentences, Simple Past is preferred.
Examples:
 You used to play the guitar.
 Did you play the guitar when you were young?
 You did not play the guitar when you were young.
INTEREST

involved in something.
