2 My name is Tim Robinson. It s time to learn how to express past events, so let s check how to make affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences based on different activities. Then, practice what you learn from these activities. Dear apprentices Here we go! Let s start! Pay attention to the following dialogue: Warm-up GIRLS TIME! Tania: Hello? Linda: Hi, Tania!

4 Let s get inside Tania: Well, I was with my boyfriend. On Saturday, my boyfriend Charlie and I dined out. And later that evening we went to the arcade. On Sunday, we stayed home as well. But I didn t do any homework. In the afternoon, we took out the karaoke and sang lots of old songs. Linda: Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun! Tania: Yeah, it really was! Listen to Tania and Linda s phone call. Then, drag and drop the numbers to the correct place to organize the conversation. GIRLS TIME! Tania: Ok, great! So let s meet by the door number 1 on Friday at 6:00 p.m. Linda: Yeah, perfect! Tania: Hello? Linda: Hi, Tania! How are you? Tania: Ok, see you tomorrow! Linda: See you! Tania: Yeah! We can go to the mall and eat some ice cream. Linda: Yeah, that sounds great! Let s go to the mall. Actually, I went to the ice cream shop last Saturday, and we had a great time, it was really fun. Tania: Fine, thanks and you? Linda: Very good. I just talked to Claudia. She said she wants to go out sometime to catch up. Are you free tomorrow evening? Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA.

5 Let s analyze Remember that when we want to talk about something that happens now or happens all the time, we use the actions in one way: I eat cheese burger. You are a student. He wakes me up at five o clock. She wants me to go to the movies with her. It is fun to sing. We go to the arcade. They sing a lot of old songs. But if we want to talk about something that already happened and referring to past events we need to change these actions into past tense. For example: I eat cheese burger every week. You are a student. He wakes me up at five o clock every day. She wants me to go to the movies with her. It is fun to sing. We go shopping every month. They usually sing a lot of old songs. I ate cheese burger last night. You were a student. He woke me up at five o clock this morning. She wanted me to go to the movies yesterday. It was fun to sing last week. We went last weekend. They sang a lot of old songs last Sunday. Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA. Reservados todos los derechos /9

ACTION (Infinitive form) Am / is Eat Clean Do Dine Leave Meet Sing Stay Take Want Watch Go Wake ACTION IN THE PAST (Past tense) Was Ate Cleaned Did Dined Left Met Sang Stayed Took Wanted Watched Went Woke We can also ask questions about things that already happened, pay attention to the order of words as it is the same you learned for present tenses before: Were you at the party? Was she your girlfriend in 2005? What did you do last weekend? Where did you go? Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA. Reservados todos los derechos /9

7 Notice that, when we ask about something that already happened, we use were and was instead of am, is or are and, did instead of do PRESENT TENSE Do Am / Is Are PAST TENSE Did Was Were Notice that you can add some expressions to the sentences to refer to things that happened already. For example: Yesterday Last year Last weekend Before On Monday For two years At 8:00 o clock For three hours Let s read some more examples: We went to the ice cream shop on Saturday. I ate cheese burgers last night. On Sunday, I stayed at home. On Saturday, morning I cleaned my house. What did you do last weekend? Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje - SENA.
