2. INTRODUCTION 2 Good morning, everyone! We are pleased to be here today to present an important topic in English grammar: The Simple Past, the Auxiliary Verb "Did," Regular & Irregular Verbs, and Prepositions. Let’s begin with the Simple Past.

3. 1.SIMPLE PASt The Simple Past is used to describe actions that happened and finished in the past. We often use it with time expressions such as yesterday, last week, a month ago, in 2010, etc. Structure: Affirmative: Subject + Verb (past form) + Object. Negative: Subject + Did not (Didn't) + Verb (base form) + Object. Interrogative: Did + Subject + Verb (base form) + Object?

4. Important Rules 🔹 Regular verbs : Add "-ed" to form the past ( work → worked , play → played ). 🔹 Irregular verbs : Change form ( go → went , buy → bought ). 🔹 Common time expressions : yesterday, last week, two days ago, in 2005, when I was a child .

5. “Time Expressions Used with Simple Past” Some expressions often used with this tense include: 🔹 yesterday (I met him yesterday.) 🔹 last night/week/month/year (They moved here last year.) 🔹 two days ago (She called me two days ago.) 🔹 in 1999 (He was born in 1999.) 🔹 when I was a child (I lived in Spain when I was a child.)

6. Examples: " She visited her grandmother last weekend." "They watched a movie yesterday." "I studied for the test last night.“ "She played piano every night" "I danced yesterday” One common mistake is using the base form of the verb instead of the past form. For example: "She go to the park yesterday" is incorrect. The correct sentence is: "She went to the park yesterday."

7. Activity: Fill in the blanks with the correct past simple form: Yesterday, I ______ (go) to the store. She ______ (watch) a great movie last night. They ______ (visit) their grandparents last weekend. 7

8. 2.Now, let’s talk about the auxiliary verb "Did" in the past simple tense. This verb is very important because it helps us form negative and interrogative sentences.

9. Structure: Negative: Subject + Did not (Didn't) + Verb (base form) + Object. Interrogative: Did + Subject + Verb (base form) + Object? 9

10. Usage of "Did" in Simple Past: "Did" is used as an auxiliary verb to form questions and negative sentences in the past simple tense. In negative and interrogative sentences, the main verb always stays in its base form because "Did" already indicates the past. 10

11. Examples: Question: "Did you study for the test?" Negative: "She didn’t go to the party." Question: "Did they play soccer last Saturday?“ ANOTHERS COuLD BE: 11 IT IS SO EASY!!! Question: "Did you study for the test?" (Positive) "Yes, I studied for the test." (Negative) "Yes, I study for the test." Negative: "She didn’t go to the party." Question: "Did they play soccer last Saturday?"

13. ACTIVITY!!! 13 Convert the following sentence into a question : She finished her homework. → Did she finish her homework? Convert the following sentence into negative form : He went to the mall. → He didn’t go to the mall. Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb: (Did / Do) you ____ your homework yesterday? He ____ (not go) to school last Monday. (Did / Does) she ____ the exam last week? They ____ (not study) for the test. →

14. 3: Regular & Irregular Verbs 14 Regular Verbs: These verbs follow a predictable pattern. To form the past tense, we simply add "-ed" or "-d" to the base verb. Example: Walk → Walked, Play → Played, Jump → Jumped, Love → Loved. Some spelling changes occur: Verbs ending in -e: Add only "-d" (e.g., "love" → "loved"). Verbs ending in consonant + y: Change "y" to "i" and add "-ed" (e.g., "study" → "studied"). Verbs with a single vowel + consonant ending: Double the consonant before adding "-ed" (e.g., "stop" → "stopped").

15. 15 These verbs do not follow a specific pattern and must be memorized. Example: Go → Went, Eat → Ate, See → Saw, Take → Took. Some irregular verbs have the same past and present forms: Cut → Cut, Put → Put.

16. 16 Talk → Talked (Regular 🟢): We simply add "-ed". Study → Studied (Regular 🟢): The "y" changes to " i " before adding "-ed". See → Saw (Irregular 🔴): The past form changes completely. Take → Took (Irregular 🔴): Another example of a verb that does not follow a rule. Stop → Stopped (Regular 🟢): The final consonant is doubled before adding "-ed". Go → Went (Irregular 🔴): A total transformation in the past form. This table makes it easier to recognize patterns in regular verbs and identify irregular verbs that need to be memorized .

17. 17 This table helps us understand how verbs change in the past tense, distinguishing between regular and irregular verbs . 🔹 Present Column: Shows the base form of the verb. 🔹 Past (Regular) Column: Displays verbs that follow a predictable rule, marked with a green circle 🟢 . These verbs form the past tense by adding "-ed" or "-d". 🔹 Past (Irregular) Column: Lists verbs that do not follow a fixed pattern, marked with a red circle 🔴 . Their past forms must be memorized because they change unpredictably.

18. MISTAKES: Incorrectly forming the past tense of irregular verbs: ❌ "He eated dinner." ✅ "He ate dinner." 18 Correct the mistakes in the following sentences: "She buyed a new car yesterday.“ "They goed to the park last Sunday." "I stoped at the store on my way home." TIME TO THINK AND WORK 2.Forgetting spelling changes in regular verbs: ❌ "She studys hard." ✅ "She studies hard."

19. 4: Prepositions Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and other parts of the sentence. They often indicate time, place, or direction. 19

20. Types of Prepositions & Examples: Prepositions of Time: These indicate when something happens. "I was born in July." "We have a meeting on Monday." Prepositions of Place: These indicate where something is. "The book is on the table." "He is in the room." Prepositions of Direction or Movement: These indicate movement from one place to another. "She is going to the market." "He walked into the house." 20

21. Common Mistakes & Corrections: 21 Using the wrong preposition of time: ❌ "I was born at July." ✅ "I was born in July." Mixing up place prepositions: ❌ "She is on the room." ✅ "She is in the room." Incorrect use of prepositions of movement: ❌ "He walked in the house." ✅ "He walked into the house."

22. TIME TO WORK GUYS Activity: Fill in the blanks with the correct preposition: The keys are ___ the table. ( on/in/under ) She was born ___ December. ( in/on/at ) He is going ___ the supermarket.
