In our YouTube video section is you press right here...this video comes up
-
explaining a little bit about the past tense in English.
-
For the beginning student, I concentrate on this area first.
-
There are basically regular verbs and irregular verbs
-
I have a list of the irregular verbs that you can simply print out.
-
These are the verbs...these are the past tense.... and with HAVE which I will explain.
-
The regular verb is simply I and a verb and you just add ED.
-
I workED. I studiED. I playED
-
Those are the regular verbs.
-
The irregular verbs have 2 forms.
-
One is this form here which is the regular past tense.
-
And for example.....DO is DID
-
I did it.
-
GO is WENT. I went. These are the irregular verbs.
-
There is also a combination with HAVE.
-
This is the Past Participle.....the verb and the Past Participle.
-
This is here.
-
So..an example as you see here is without the past participle...I saw...with the past participle....I have seen.
-
The question here goes in the front.
-
Have you seen?
-
This one simply uses DID. Did you see? I saw.
-
Let me give you a little visual of the difference.
-
This is the present tense here. This is the past tense.
-
There is a distant past... a long time ago. And a recent pass like an hour ago..two days ago.
-
I have studied....using the past participle here
-
and I went. without the past participle
-
They're very, very, very similar.They're very hard ot distinguish.
-
In the beginning, if someone ask you Have you studied?....just answer I have studied.
-
The more you practice, the more you will you will get a better feel for this.
-
Bust basically....it is the past.
-
This is with the adjective....I was.
-
However, there is also a combination of the past tense which is used a lot.....I HAVE BEEN vING.
-
The question form....goes to the front.
-
Have you been studying?....Have you been eating?
-
It just uses the regular verb here.
-
The difference in feeling is this.....
-
These 2 refer to the past or the distant past.
-
I HAVE BEEN includes up to the present.
-
So for example, Where have you been living?
-
You're still living there.
-
I have been living at home.
-
Where did you live?....I lived at home......This is the past.
-
So, in the beginning,We are just going to concentrate on these 2 forms here.
-
These other forms here which are a bit more complicated...we learn in lesson 35.
-
But in the beginning, these are the most important.
-
The only difference between I STUDIED...I HAVE STUDIED and I HAVE BEEN STUDYING
-
is that HAVE BEEN includes up through the present.
-
It is very, very simple like that.
-
With the irregular verbs which is this list of verbs,
-
In the past tense...DID YOU EAT?....I ATE.
-
HAVE YOU EATEN?.....I HAVE EATEN.
-
This...I HAD EATEN...we are going to learn in lesson 35.
-
But, in the beginning, you're just going to be concentrating on these.
-
These at the top.
-
Of course, with the adjective. there is the simple WERE YOU TIRED?...I WAS TIRED.
-
I have been tired.....
-
emphasizes both the the past up to the present.
-
You can get a copy of these printouts
-
on the video with these PDF's. Just touch them and the copies come up and you can print them if you want to reference.
-
Once again, there are a number of irregular verbs as you see here...this list.
-
In the beginning, just take a few of them and memorize them. You know...you just say DO..DID...DONE.
-
GO...WENT...GONE
-
That's how we learned them as children.
-
EAT....ATE...EATEN
-
So, this is used with the regular past tense
-
which you see here.
-
This is used with either the irregular verb or the past participle.
-
Thank you.
