Практическая работа № 4.2 past simple (I did)

Цель: введение и активизация в речи грамматического материала по теме «Прошедшее простое время».

Оборудование: раздаточный материал, таблица видовременных форм, контрольно- измерительные материалы, презентация к уроку (Power Point).

Study this example:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian musician and composer. He lived from 1756 to 1791. He started composing at the age of five and wrote more than 600 pieces of music. He was only 35 years old when he died.

Lived/ started/ wrote / was/ died are all past simple

Lived/ started/ wrote / was/ died are all past simple.

• Very often the past simple ends in -ed (regular verbs):

• I work in a travel agency now. Before that I worked in a shop.

• We invited them to our party but they decided not to come.

• The police stopped me on my way home last night.

• She passed her examination because she studied very hard.

• But many verbs are irregular. The past simple does not end in -ed. For example:

write — wrote Mozart wrote more than 600 pieces of music.

see — saw We saw Rose in town a few days ago.

go — went I went to the cinema three times last week.

shut — shut It was cold, so I shut the window.

In questions and negatives we use did/didn't + infinitive (enjoy/see/go etc.):

I	enjoyed			you	enjoy?		I		enjoy
she	saw		did	she	see?		she	didn't	see
they	went			they	go?		they		go

A: Did you go out last night?

B: Yes, I went to the cinema but I didn't enjoy the film much.

• 'When did Mr. Thomas die?' 'About ten years ago.'

• They didn't invite her to the party, so she didn't go.

• 'Did you have time to write the letter?' 'No, I didn't.'

• Be careful when do is the main verb in the sentence:

• What did you do at the weekend? (not 'what did you at the weekend')

• I didn't do anything, (not 'I didn't anything')

The past of be (am/is/are) is was/were:

I/he/she/it was/wasn't

we/you/they were/weren't

• Note that we do not use did in negatives and, questions with was/were:

• I was angry because they were late.

• Was the weather good when you were on holiday?

• They weren't able to come because they were so busy.

• Did you go out last night or were you too tired?
