1. Going further
We already know that we use the simple present tense to talk about habits, routines and
facts. We are over it. But before going further, lets learn some phrasal verbs you may use to talk
about things you do every morning:
Morning routine phrasal verbs:
- Go off: My alarm goes off at 7 am
- Wake up: I wake up at 7
- Get up: I get up at 7:15
- Take off: I take off my pyjamas
- Brush my teeth: I brush my teeth
- Have/ take a shower: I take a shower
- Put on: I put on my clothes/ I put on make up/ contacts/ glasses/ jewellery
Also, when we do something repeatedly we create a habit. Some habits are good but
other habits are not so good and in most of the cases we want to change them. So, lets learn
some expressions about good and bad habits.
-Creature of habit: Someone who really likes routine and doesn’t like to do something out of
schedule.
-Break a habit: Stop something you have been doing for a long time.
-Force of habit: The repeated behaviour is so strong that you don’t think before doing it, you just
do.
-Old habits die hard: very difficult to change.
-Kick a habit: Similar to break a habit
-Fall back into old habit: Went back to do something you stopped doing.
-To have an urge: Strong desire to do something.

What kind of habits do you have? Do you have any bad habit that you want to change? Is there
any good habit that you worked really hard to have?

2. Past experiences
To talk about past experiences in English, we use the simple past tense. Here, the
auxiliary verb “do" will be in the past “did” and the main verb can also be in the simple
past. It is important to know, that in English we have regular (we just need to add an -ed
after the verb to put it in the past) and irregular verbs, that we really need to memorize.
Lets see how to use the verb COOK (regular verb) in the simple past:
Affirmative Negative Interrogative
I I cooked a great meal I didn’t cook a great Did I cook a great meal
yesterday. meal yesterday. yesterday?
YOU You cooked a great meal You didn’t cook a great Did you cook a great
yesterday. meal yesterday. meal yesterday?
HE, SHE, IT She cooked a great meal She didn’t cook a great Did she cook a great
WE We cooked a great meal We didn’t cook a great Did we cook a great

They They cooked a great They didn’t cook a great Did they cook a great
meal yesterday. meal yesterday. meal yesterday?
Here it’s really important to notice a few things:
1. We only put the main verb in the simple past in the affirmative sentences.
2. The simple past tense is the same with all the pronouns.
3. To answer the short questions, we will use “did”: Yes, I did/ No, I didn’t
It’s important to consider the spelling rules when adding -ed to the verbs:
The "-ed" spelling rules are:

Add "-ed" to a verb to change it to the past tense. For
example, "talk + ed = talked".
• when the verb ends in "e", add only "d." For example,
"arrive + d = arrived".
• when the verb ends in consonant + "y," change the "y" to "i"
and add "-ed". For example, "study + ed = studied".
• when a verb ends in vowel + "y," add "-ed". For example,
"play + ed = played".
• when a verb ends in vowel + consonant, double the
consonant. For example, "stop + p + ed = stopped”. CVC

Put the verbs into the simple past:
1. The kids _______ (play) in the garden last Saturday.

2. She ______ (visit) her friends last weekend.
3. Yesterday, I ______ (show) my little brother the new computer game.
4. Last Friday, we _________ (decide) to visit Cairo.
5. Who __________ (invent) the the bulb?
6. The shop assistant _________ (open) the door to customers.
7. What ________ (happen) yesterday?
8. The students ________ (work) on the project together yesterday.
9. They ________ (want) to watch TV last night.
10. We _________ (walk) home last night.
When trying to understand the difference between the simple present and the
present continuous, we talked about the use of the key words, or time markers, that could
help us identifying if we were supposed to use the simple present or the present
continuous. In the same way, we can use specific time markers in the simple past tense.
Watch the video and write below the time markers you could understand.
https://www.engvid.com/english-grammar-past-simple-time-markers/
Identify the signal words:
1. Yesterday it rained. __________________

2. She helped me last weekend. __________________
3. They opened the shop two hours ago. __________________
4. We went to Spain last summer. __________________
5. She visited her friend in 2011. __________________
6. We saw the film last week. __________________
7. The Olympic Games finished last month. __________________
8. The football match started an hour ago. __________________

We can also create questions using the question markers: What, where, when, how,
who… Don’t forget the structure: (wh)+ did+ pronoun+ main verb+ complement.
Create some questions using the question markers, the simple past and if you want,
use some of the time markers you’ve learned.

Real English
Idioms to talk about the past
A blast from the past is someone or something that reminds you of an earlier time
in your life, giving you a sense of nostalgia:
“I bumped into one of my old school friends today – what a blast from the past!”
The idiom all along means from the beginning or the entire time:
“I knew all along that he would succeed one day.”
Are you talking about my ears?
If something is a thing of the past, it doesn’t happen or exist any more:

Connect Course
“Dial-up modems are a thing of the past.”
You might describe something as before your time if it happened or was popular
before you were born, or at least while you were too young to remember it.
“The Beatles were a bit before my time.”
The idiom donkey’s years just refers to a very long period of time – usually in the
past rather than the future:
“She has lived in that house for donkey’s years.”
In the good old days refers to a time in the past when you remember life being
better in some way:
“In the good old days children didn’t have smartphones and video games; they played
outside together.”
The phrase let bygones be bygones is said when you want to tell someone to
forget about something unpleasant from the past:
“I know he hurt you but that was two years ago. Let bygones be bygones.”
Long time no see simply means that it has been a long time since you last saw
someone. You’d say this directly to them either in writing, on the phone, or when you do
finally see them:
“Hi John, long time no see! We should meet up soon.”
If you make up for lost time, you work extra hard to compensate for previous
delays or you spend a lot of time doing something that you were unable to previously:
“The two friends hadn’t seen each other for years so they are making up for lost time by
taking a holiday together.”
You might have heard the phrase once upon a time used as the opening line of a
fairy tale. In everyday speech, it is used to talk about a time long ago, usually by way of
reminiscing:
“Once upon a time, it was safe to walk around this town at night.”
If something rings a bell, it reminds you of something from the past that you can’t
quite remember clearly:
“Her name rings a bell but I can’t remember how I know her.”
Something that has seen better days is past its best and showing signs of wear,
decay or use:
“This playground has seen better days; the council should repair or replace it.”
When an opportunity has passed by and it’s too late to do anything about it, we say
the ship has sailed:
“I always dreamed of becoming a professional football player but I’m too old now; that ship
has sailed.”
Something that stands the test of time continues to work well or be well regarded
for a long period of time. This could be something physical, like a piece of furniture, or
something more abstract like a political policy or a piece of literature:
“I never thought they were a good match but their marriage has stood the test of time.”
Connect Course
To take a trip down memory lane is to spend time reminiscing about the past,
especially about happy memories:
“My grandmother loves to take a trip down memory lane and tell me about her childhood.”
To turn back the hands of time (or just turn back time) means to go back to the
past in order to do things differently. Of course, we can’t really do this so this idiom is
mainly used to express regret:
“I wish I could turn back the hands of time and study harder for the exams I failed.”
Past of BE
The to be verb is a little bit different from the other ones, but it doesn’t make it more
difficult though. Actually, it is pretty easy, we just need to remember that with all the
singular pronouns we are going to use WAS and with the plural pronouns, we are going to
use WERE.
PRONOUN NUMBER AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE QUESTION
I SINGULAR WAS WAS NOT - WAS I ___?

WASN'T
YOU SINGULAR/ WERE WERE NOT- WERE YOU ___?

There are some characters in the world history that we know about but we don’t
even know what did they look like. For example, Jesus is a very important character to the
occident world (mostly), but no one can really say anything about His appearance or
personality. So, what do you think? What did Jesus look like in your opinion? What did He
like to do? What did He like to eat? Remember, we are only making a supposition here.

Last summer I went to Nice. It’s a great place to have a holiday. People are friendly
and hospitable. Especially, the port of Nice is a fantastic place to visit.
On the first day we went to a restaurant with a terrace. It had a wonderful view of
the sea. Also, the dishes were absolutely delicious. On the second day, we went to two
museums. First, we went to an art museum. There weren’t many pictures, but there were
many contemporary art productions. I didn’t like them a lot. Second, we went to a very
unusual museum of bric-à-brac. There was a lot of bric-à-brac from different places in the
World. It was really interesting to see. After visiting the museums, we returned to our hotel
room as we were really tired.
Finally, we spent a whole day at the great beaches of Nice. We swam, sunbathed
and had a really great time.
It was a short but very interesting holiday. I definitely want to go to Nice again.
1. True or false?
A. The autor liked the food in the restaurant.

B. He went to an art museum after the bric-à-brac museum.

In the same way that we have the continuous form of the simple present, we have
the continuous form of the simple past as well, and we call it PAST CONTINUOUS. It is
made by the combination of the to be verb IN THE PAST and the ing form of the main
verb. Let’s see how we can do it using the verb -to work- as an example:
Affirmative Negative Interrogative
I I was working yesterday I wasn’t working Was I working

yesterday yesterday? 
Yes, you were/ No, you

weren’t
YOU You were working You weren't working Were you working
yesterday. yesterday. yesterday? 
 
Yes, I was/ No, I wasn’t
HE/SHE/IT He was working He wasn’t working Was he working

yesterday. yesterday. yesterday?
Yes, he was/ No, he

wasn’t
WE We were working We weren't working Were we working

Yes, we were/ No, we

weren’t
THEY They were working They weren't working Were they working
Yes, they were/ No, they

weren’t
It’s important to notice the difference between the simple past and the past
continuous. The simple past started and finished in the past, we know when it finished, so
the action was COMPLETED. On the other side, we use the past continuous to talk about
actions that were HAPPENING in the past. Check the difference between the simple past
and the past continuous:
