Past Tense

Past Tense – Irregular

Point 1: Many verbs for the past tense take an irregular form, meaning the word does not use an /-ed/ ending.
  1. I was late to the party. (be)
  2. There were happy to see you. (be)
  3. She made a lot of money on that deal. (make)
  4. We drove to the beach. (drive)

 

 

 

 

 

Point 2: The be verb has two past tense forms, was and were. First and third person singular use was. We use the contraction wasn’t in stead of was not in spoken English.
  1. I was at home yesterday. I wasn’t at work.
  2. It was a fun party. It wasn’t boring at all.
  3. He was sad all day. He wasn’t happy.
  4. She was a good teacher. She wasn’t strict.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 3: All plural forms and second person singular use were and were not. We use the contraction weren’t in stead of were not in spoken English.
  1. You were right. You weren’t wrong.
  2. They were late. There weren’t on time.
  3. We were happy with the food. We weren’t disappointed.
  4. You all were so noisy. You weren’t very quiet!

 

 

 

 

 

Point 4: We use irregular verbs for about 100 verbs in English. Use the irregular forms in affirmative statements. In negative statement, we us did not + base verb.
  1. I saw a ghost, but I did not see it for very long!
  2. I ate a light breakfast. I did not eat eggs or toast.
  3. I saw Bill at the party. I did not see Sue.
  4. I bought a new car. I did not buy it for me though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter Vacation

Akane and Howard talk about their winter vacations.

Akane’s Vacation

Last year, I went to Portugal just after Christmas. And I stayed there until… well, just after New Year’s this year. In Portugal, I met up with one of my friends from Toronto. He had family that lived in Portugal, because his family was originally from Portugal.

So, they were kind enough to let me stay with them. I didn’t know any Portuguese, except for some simple words like “hello”, and “thank you”. I learned some simple words through an audio CD, before I went there. And the people that I stayed with didn’t know very much English either. However, we got along surprisingly well.

They were surprised that I was able to eat some of their exotic foods. They made some delicious meals every single day, like octopus, tripe and rabbit. It is quite exotic, but I thought it was quite good. They also made some excellent desserts, like crème caramel, and a rich sponge cake that they call Paon d’lo.

Howard’s Vacation

OK, now I’ll talk about my winter vacation. This winter vacation I spent two weeks in my hometown which is Daytona Beach, Florida. It was wonderful. The weather was warm every day. It was sunny every day and the temperature was almost 80 degrees.

I visited my mother and I spent every morning having a nice leisurely cup of coffee and reading the newspaper and after that I got my bicycle out and and rode down to the beach and enjoyed the sun and the surf, and came back home and read a book and went to bed early.

I had a wonderful time. I saw a couple of new movies, when I was home in Florida. I saw The Aviator and also an interesting movie called Spanglish, which I hope you all can see because it’s an interesting movie about English and the Spanish.

Present Simple – Third Person Singular

Point 1: The third person singular refers to a person or thing you are talking about. Because it is singular, it refers to just one person or thing.

  1. Bob is my boss. He helps me a lot.

  2. Suzy has a nice car, but she never drives it to work.

  3. My phone does not take pictures. It does not have camera.

  4. This pizza tastes great. It has a lot of calories though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 2: In the present tense, we add an /-s/ to verbs if the subject is the third person singular.

  1. Larry loves videos games. He plays them every night.

  2. Sue walks to work. She listens to podcasts as she walks.

  3. My phone needs a new charger. It costs 40 dollars.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 3: In negative statements, change do not to does not. In spoken English, we often say the contraction doesn’t.

  1. She does not work nights.

  2. She doesn’t work nights.

  3. He does not travel much.

  4. He doesn’t travel much.

  5. It does not snow much in my town.

  6. It doesn’t snow much in my town.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 4: In questions, change the auxiliary do to does in WH questions if the question is about the object.

  1. When does the train leave? / It leaves a six.

  2. What does your mom want for her birthday? / She wants a cat.

  3. How does your wife get to work? / She takes the bus.

  4. Why does he always look angry? / He has a lot of stress

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 5: Add /-s/ to the verb, and do not use does, if the question is about the subject. The question word will be either what or who.

  1. Who lives here? / My friend lives here.

  2. What costs a lot of money? / College costs a lot of money.

  3. Who talks to you every day? / My dad talks to me every day.

  4. What takes up a lot of your time? / Driving to work does.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Point 6: In Yes/No questions, change the auxiliary do to does in both the question and the short answer.

  1. Does he work here? / Yes, he does. / No, he doesn’t. (does not)

  2. Does she have a nice house? / Yes, she does. / No, she does not.

  3. Does it rain much in your town / Yes, it does. / No, it does not.

 

 

 

 

 

Meg: Hey, Todd. I was talking to your girlfriend and she seems really fit.

Todd: Yeah. She’s very fit. It’s kind of a problem actually.

Meg: Oh really? Why?

Todd: Well, she watches what she eats and she’s very careful about the food she eats. So she doesn’t eat meat, she doesn’t eat fast food. She doesn’t eat sugar. She doesn’t drink coffee. So because she doesn’t eat or drink all these foods, it’s kind of hard if we go out to dinner or if I want to eat something because then I feel guilty.

Meg: Do you also not eat those foods?

Todd: No. Are you kidding? I mean, I always eat fast food and I love to eat sweets and stuff like that. So we both love exercise, right. So she exercises a lot. I exercise a lot. She exercises more than I do but yeah, the diet thing is kind of a hassle.

Meg: Hmm.

Todd: So what do you think I should do?

Meg: Maybe you should also try to be healthy because it sounds like a good idea.

Todd: Yeah, maybe. I’ll give it a try. But the thing is, you know, she – there’s one other problem. She eats five small meals a day, so never eats big meals. So we can’t go to a restaurant and stuff like that. So it’s just really hard to adjust. I mean, I love a big breakfast, you know. She never eats a big breakfast. She always eats these small little meals, so yeah.

Meg: Well maybe, you can cook at home together.

Todd: Maybe. Or maybe I should just get a new girlfriend.

Meg: Maybe. Good luck.
