E-LEARNING

E-SURVIVING

1st of ESO - Jennifer Casadevall

Alive?

WELCOME

I hope everybody is fine. Don't be like the cat, do some exercise

Today we'll talk about:

- Past Simple: when?

- Past Simple verb "to be"

- There was/There were

- Past Simple regular verbs

LESSON PLAN

We use Past Simple to talk about finished past events/actions/habits/etc.

WHEN?

Past Simple

Ex: I was bored

(I am not bored anymore, now I'm entertained)

TO BE

Past simple verb "to be"

Verb to be

Remember

Remember that the verb to be in present is translated in Catalan as "ser/estar"

Past Simple

When we want to use the verb "to be" we are going to write "was" or "were", depending on the subject

Yes, I was/ No, I wasn't

Yes, you were/ No, you weren't

Yes, she was/ No, she wasn't

Yes, we were/ No, we weren't

*Don't confuse "were" (past of the verb to be) with "where" (question pronoun)

EXAMPLES

-Maria was blond

- We were late

- They were tired

- I wasn't at home

- You weren't on time

- Were you at school yesterday? Yes, I was

Examples

Difference

Here, you can see the difference between the present and the past simple form of the verb "to be"

"There was/there were" are the past simple forms of "there is/there are"

There was/

There were

In Catalan, we translate them as "hi havia". Ex:

-There was a fly in my room

-There were 3 kids in the party

There was/There were

There was -- singular

There were -- plural

Form

There was/There were

Regular verbs

Regular verbs are those which past form is formed by adding -ed or -d

Ex: To walk

As you can see, it's the same for all the subjects
