For example:
 I jumped in the lake.
 (This is a past activity.)

place.

first sentence)

The student will read

and other students
listen attentively.

Provide students another examples: (Students listen

attentively)
 I played when I was younger.
 I saw the angel in the marble and carved until
I set him free.
 Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
 Drawing on my fine command of the English
language, I said nothing.

The simple past tense is used to describe a completed

activity that started in the past and ended in the past.

Forming the Simple Past Tense

If you're dealing with a regular verb, the simple past tense is
formed like this:

base form of verb + “ed”

Examples:
 jump > jumped
  paint > painted (Students listen
attentively)
However, there are some spelling rules.

If a verb of one syllable ends [consonant-vowel-consonant],

double the final consonant and add "ed":
 chat > chatted
 stop > stopped
If the final consonant is w, x, or y, don't double it:
Examples:
 sew > sewed
 play > played
 fix > fixed
If last syllable of a longer verb is stressed and ends
[consonant-vowel-consonant], double the last consonant and
add "ed":
Examples:
 incur > incurred
 prefer > preferred
If the first syllable of a longer verb is stressed and the verb
(Students listen
ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], just add "ed":
attentively)
Examples:
 open > opened
 enter > entered
If the verb ends "e", just add "d":
Examples:
 thrive > thrived
 guzzle > guzzled
If the verb ends [consonant + "y"], change the "y" to an "i"
and add "ed":
Examples:
 cry > cried
 fry > fried

Forming the Simple Past Tense of Irregular Verbs

If it's an irregular verb, the simple past tense is formed in all
sorts of different ways. Here are some examples:
 break > broke
 find > found
 see > saw

Using the Simple Past Tense (Students listen

When making a statement, you can use the following word attentively)
order:
 Subject + verb
Examples:
 The Martians landed near the aqueduct.
 The burglar used the fire escape.

The Negative Version

If you need the negative version, you can use the following
word order:
did not + base form of the verb
 The Martians did not land near the aqueduct.
(We could have used "didn't" instead of "did not.")
 The burglar did not use the fire escape.

The Question Version (Students listen

attentively)
If you need to ask a question, you can use the following
word order for a yes/no question:
Did + subject + base form of the verb
 Did the Martians land near the aqueduct?
 Did the burglar use the fire escape?

Past Perfect Tense

Functions

The past perfect refers to a time earlier than before now. It

is used to make it clear that one event happened before
another in the past. It does not matter which event is
mentioned first - the tense makes it clear which one
happened first
(Students listen
attentively)
Event A Event B
John had when I arrived in the office.
gone out
Event A Event B
I had saved my before the computer crashed.
document
Event B Event A
When they we had already
arrived started cooking.
Event B Event A
He was very tired because he hadn't slept well.
Forming the past perfect

The Past Perfect tense in English is composed of two parts:

the past tense of the verb to have (had) + the past participle
(Students listen
of the main verb.
attentively)
Subject +had +past
participle
Affirmative
She had given
Negative
She hadn't asked.
Interrogative
Had they arrived?
Interrogative Negative
Hadn't you finished?

To decide, past perfect

Affirmative Negative Interrogative
I had decided I hadn't decided Had I decided? (Students listen
You had You hadn't decided Had you decided? attentively)
decided
She had She hadn't decided Had she decided?
decided
We had decided We hadn't decided Had we decided?
They had They hadn't decided Had they decided?
decided

Past perfect + just

'Just' is used with the past perfect to refer to an event that

was only a short time earlier than before now, e.g.

 The train had just left when I arrived at the station.

 She had just left the room when the police arrived.
 I had just put the washing out when it started to rain.

Generalization ma’am.

What are the important things that you learned and need to
remember about simple past tense?

We can just memorize

the formula ma’am.
For simple past tense
 it’s: base form of verb
+ “ed” or it’s irregular.
Very good! And for past perfect
How about past perfect tense? tense it’s: had + [past
participle.

Very good! How about the others? What have you learned?

Very good answer! Thank you for your answers class.”

Students answer the
activity.

If you’re talking with a

friend or a coworker
and you want to
explain that you
started and finished
an activity in the past,
then you’d want to
use a simple past
tense verb.  Regular
past tense verbs end
with -ed, but you’ll
also find irregular
past tense verbs
where the spelling of
the root word
changes.

Ma’am, I’ve learned

that if you’re talking
about multiple events
that happened in the
 past, then the past
perfect tense will be
useful.

I’ve using the past

perfect allows you to
convey the sequence
of the events ma’am.
