The orangutan

He was a very pretty baby

His eyes were big and brown

His nose was small. His mouth was small.

His ears were small and his hands were small

And his little pink feet – so sweet!

Yes, he was a very pretty baby.

But  - oh dear- look at him now!

Teacher        When do we use Past Simple?

        Student:        To talk about past habits.

        Student:        When we talk about people who are no longer alive.

        Student:        Yesterday, last week, a couple of minutes ago, two weeks ago, in 1995, etc.

        Teacher:         (Slide3)  How do we form Past Simple Tense in an Affirmative sentence?

        Teacher:                Give me examples, please.

         Student:                Yesterday I worked for an hour.                                                                               I I    

                Student:                I closed a window an hour ago.

        Teacher        Now, give examples.

Teacher:                What about Negative forms?

Student:                We form negatives with the help of “didn’t” +  the main verb.

IV  Practising the Past Simple Tense

Teacher:        Take your seats at the computers and do the exercise. Fill in the missing verbs in Past Simple.

        Students do the exercise  # 1 “a” from Way Ahead 5.

        Teacher:        We have worked with regular verbs. But there are irregular verbs as well. How do we form the Past Simple Tense for them.

        Students:        There are no special rules. We need to remember the second form of these verbs.

        Teacher:        Slide (4) That’s right. Let’s do the crossword to practice the use of irregular verbs in the Past.

                                                The Students fill in the required form of the verbs and the teacher checks them up.

        Teacher:                (Slide 5)Let’s compare how well you did your crossword.

V   Teacher:        Slide 7 Now, tell me what we use to talk about past habits or things that do not

                        happen any more?

        Student:                We use “used to”

 Teacher:                1        Please remember  that we form the interrogative  and negative with the auxiliary verb did/didn’t + subject and the verb “use to” without – d. 

                        He used to travel a lot when he was young. Did he use to travel when he was young? He didn’t use to travel when he was young.
