ThE PaSt TEnSe
also the past tense has types we will learn it today
1.ThE PaSt SimPLe TEnSe
We use the past simple tense to talk about past actions and situations.
The
Rule:
He
/She
/It
+ v.2 (past simple)
They
/We
/You
/I
The
keys:
last (week, year, night), yesterday, ago, in 1987, when I was ....
In the positive form for the regular verb we should add (ed)
*if the verb was end in (y preceded by a consonant letter)we should change the -y to ied
But there are some verbs we couldn't add ed in so we change it .it's the(irregular verbs)*see the table in the end of the lesson
Example:
I arrived late last night. (regular verb)
arrive~>arrived
He came back late last night.
(irregular verb)
come~>came
In past simple tense we use(did) in to make negatives and to make questions too.
Example:
He went to Dubai last week
Question:Did he go to Dubai last week?
Answer:yes he did
No he didn't
2.ThE PaSt ConTiNuOus TEnSe
*We use the past continuous tense to talk about something that was already happening in the past at a particular time.
The
Rule:
He
/She
/It
/I was
+ + (v+ ing)
They
/We
/You were
Examples:
-Jack
was working on the report last night at 10.15
-They
were working on the report at six.
*also the past continuous used with Something that was happening
when something important took place
example:
She
was speaking on the phone
when he arrived.
*And with Something that was happening
while something else was happening

while I was preparing dinner.
In the past continuous we use
(was&were) in negative and questions.
