SIMPLE PAST

-
The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite or preterite) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. 

The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. In addition, there are many verbs with irregular past forms. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.

  • Affirmative: You called Debbie.
  • Question: Did you call Debbie?
  • Negative: You did not call Debbie.
Examples:

  • I saw a movie yesterday.
  • I didn't see a play yesterday.
  • Last year, I traveled to Japan.
  • Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
  • Did you have dinner last night?
  • She washed her car.
  • He didn't wash his car.

A modal is a type of  auxiliary (helping) verb  that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The modals and semi-modals in English are: 1. Should- shouldn't 2. Have to- haven't 3. Must - musn't 4. Can- can't Forms: Should + subject + base form of the verb must / have to / need to + base form of the verb Ex amples: She  can speak  six languages. I  can't drive. Children  must do  their homework. We  have to wear  a uniform at work. You  should stop  smoking. more in: https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/modal-verbs.html https://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/verbs/modal-verbs/ exercises: https://agendaweb.org/verbs/modals-exercises.html https://www.myenglishpages.com/site_php_files/grammar-exercise-modals.php https://www.englishexercises.o

 INFORMATION: The simple past and the past progressiv e , also past continuous , are used to express actions in the past. We use the simple past as the narrative form of the past to express completed, sequential actions. We use the past progressive to say what was happening at a particular moment in the past, to set the scene and to emphasise the process or duration of a past action. more information in: https://english.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tense-comparison/simple-past-past-progressive https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/simpas-paspro have fun in: https://agendaweb.org/verbs/past-progressive-past-simple.html https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_progressive.htm https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/past-simple-past-continuous-exercise-1.html Video: https://youtu.be/TbK4JLHIp-U
