Unit 4

Past Simple Tense

Простое прошедшее время

Прошедшее простое время показывает регулярное, законченное действие в прошлом. Все глаголы делятся на правильные и неправильные. Правильные глаголы (regular verbs) образуют форму Past Simple с помощью окончания -ed, в то время как неправильные (irregular verbs) имеют свою особую форму, которую можно найти в таблице неправильных глаголов в конце книги.

Например, купил -bought, закрыл-closed.

Утвердительное предложение выглядит так:

подлежащее + глагол в форме Past Simple.

Kudjo woke up five minutes ago.

EXERCISE 1

Поставьте глагол в форму Past Simple:

When Kudjo /be/ a little puppy,

1 he /play/ all day long.

2 he /have/ too long legs and /fall/ down every time

3 he /love/ all the dogs that he /meet/.

4 he /taste/ everything that he /find/.

5 he /bark/ when he /be/ excited and he /be/ excited 20 hours a day!

6 he/can/ go 10 km non-stop.

7 he /enjoy/ looking at his reflection in mirrors and shop windows.

8 he /love/lying next to the laptop and watching me working.

Отрицательная и вопросительная формы строятся точно так же, как и в Present Simple при помощи вспомогательного глагола do в прошедшем времени- did.

Обратите внимание, что сам основной глагол при этом остается в нулевой форме.

Структура отрицательного предложения:

подлежащее+ did + not + глагол.

He didn’t go downstairs on his own.

При этом сокращенная форма didn’t звучит более естественно.

EXERCISE 2

Поставьте глагол в отрицательной форме в Present Simple или Past Simple:

6 He even /not bark/ yesterday because it was too cold to open his mouth.

7 He/not get/ any treats yesterday.

8 He usually /not go/ to bed before midnight and he / not kip/ down so early last night.

Вопросительное предложение в Past Simple выглядит так:

(вопросительное слово) + did + подлежащее + глагол?

What time did he go to bed last night?

Unit 5

Past Continuous Tense

Прошедшее продолженное время

Это время используется для обозначения действия, которое длилось в прошлом. Чаще всего эта длительность чем-то зафиксирована. Например, у нас есть конкретное время в прошлом или другое действие произошло в этот момент: At 5 pm yesterday Kudjo was reading a book about people. When he was reading, the light went off.

Время Past Continuous часто используется для создания фона или атмосферы повествования.Th e sun was shining.The birds were singing. The cats were mewing. Kudjo left the house for a walk.

Из примеров уже понятна структура предложения. Она очень похожа на конструкцию Present Continuous, но только глагол to be стоит в форме прошедшего времени – was/were:

подлежащее + was/were + глагол с окончанием ing.

Look at Kudjo

What was he doing at 2 pm yesterday?

He was walking. He was standing on a bench. He was supporting his favorite football team.

EXERCISE 1

Напишите, кто что делал вчера в это время, используя Past Continuous:

4 At 2 pm my mum was *****.

5 At 4 pm I was *****.

6 At 6 pm my friend was *****.

7 At 7 pm my neighbors were *****.

8 At 11 pm I was *****.

9 At 2 am everybody was *****.

EXERCISE 2

Давайте придумаем, что каждый делал в тот момент, когда приземлились инопланетяне на вашей улице. Используйте глаголы- подсказки в форме Past Continuous:

2 cook

3 swim in the pool

4 chase a cat

5 play hide-and-seek

6 grill salmon

7 water strawberries

8 eat raspberries

9 sunbathe

Отрицательное предложение строится таким образом:

подлежащее + was/were + not + глагол с окончанием ing.

He wasn’t frolicking.

В разговорном английском мы используем сокращенные формы wasn’t/ weren’t

EXERCISE 3
