  1. Focus On GrammarBook 2, 5th edition Lesson 3: USED TO and Simple Past Tense

  2. 3.1 – Used To • For past customs and habits • It is a modal, followed by the BASE FORM • She used to be nice. We used to study together. • Negative! • Like “HAVE TO” and some others, it thinks it is a real verb!!! • Use DO  DID (and the –D gets sucked off of USE)

  3. 3.1 (but it’s not in the book) • Questions with USED TO • It thinks it’s a REAL VERB, not a helping verb • Use DODID, and move it to the front • Did they use to eat chicken feet? • What did they use to eat? • Did he use to be a teacher? • What did he use to be?

  4. 3.2 – Past Tense of BE • Uses with THERE (there is, there are, there was, there were) • NOT goes after the BE verb • Contractions  was not wasn’t ; were not  weren’t • Passive Voice (and participial adjectives) • Women BEAR children. • People crowd the room • The teacher excites the students. • Ali broke the door. • The police do not allow speeding. • Is it passive or is it an adjective? Who cares? Jusst use it properly!

  5. 3.3 – the Simple Past of Other Verbs (not BE verbs) • Add –ED to the end • Lots of irregular verbs • Different spelling rules • Page 95 • (after learned or wanted, use the INFINITIVE)

  6. 3.4 – Irregular Verbs • See page 97; You REALLY NEED to know every one of these verbs • You also need to know the PAST PARTICIPLE of irregular verbs • Any GOOD grammar book should have a list in the back, but you can Google it, too

  7. 3.5 – Negative Past Tense • BE verbs are special • She is a student… • Other verbs need DODID • She ate rice. • [She DO ate rice.] • [She DID eat rice.] • She did not eat rice. • She didn’t eat rice.

  8. 3.6 –Past Tense Questions • Subject Questions are easy • BE verbs are special • She is a student… • Other verbs need DODID • The vacuum sucks the past tense off of the verb. • Ali ate rice. • Who ate rice. • Did Ali eat rice? • What did Ali eat?
