Hi there. It's grammar fun time with Ronnie again. Hey grammar today
we're going to be learning about how to use the simple past which is regular Edie verbs or
We're going to use it to talk about our or your daily routine. So what you do every day, okay?
Had plus Pp. Or the past participle the past participle is the third tense of the verb?
The easiest way for me to explain this to you is
The earliest action or the first action that you do in the morning for example
You're going to choose past perfect
Then the next action you do after that you're going to use simple past
so first of all earliest action pass perfect
The second action that you do is going to be simple past. I will help you out with some examples, so
For example, I sometimes wake up at 8 o'clock
Usually when we speak English when we talk about our daily routine we use
English we say I wake up. I eat breakfast
But when you want to talk about in the past you have to use past perfect and simple past so 8 o'clock I wake up
8:15 I eat breakfast so the earliest or the first action that I do in the morning is
Eat breakfast I usually have oatmeal for breakfast with yogurt. What do you eat for breakfast?
Maybe about 5:15. I have a bath I like to be clean and
at 5:30 after my bath my 15-minute bath I
What we're going to do to change this into simple past and past perfect is my very first action
The past perfect tense my second action. I'm going
So let's work this out together. Oh
The very very first action that I did we're gonna use past perfect, so wake up
Does anyone know the past participle of wake?
It's very strange a lot of people get it wrong. It's actually
Woken now when we use simple pass and pass perfect together in a sentence
We usually have the word after
To help us with the time period So we're going to use the word after in both of our sentences
I'm Gonna use my past perfect had wake woken
Up, so this is my very first action that I did the earliest action is I woke up
Ate breakfast so the simple past of eat is eight like the number
so if you look at this sentence, I
Have after and then I have my past
Breakfast so the very first thing that I did was I woke up
And then I ate breakfast which makes sense because you can't eat breakfast while you're sleeping
Let's have a look at the other one the other example so at
5:15 I
Have a bath and at 5:30. I watch TV
The very very first of the earliest action that I did
Was I had a bath so the first action again. I need to put in to past perfect
The second action I did was I watched TV. So let's see the sentence together
Ok so again. We're going to use after to begin the sentence
Had now, what is the past perfect? What's the past participle of have?
Yes, I know. It's really really strange
like most English, but you actually have to say after I had had a
It's the exact same as this sentence after I
then we need the subject we have to put in I
ate breakfast so again we need this subject after the comma so I
Watch is watched. It is a sound at the end, but we spell it with an iDi
So after I had had a bath, I don't forget your subject like I did
Automatically when we look at these sentences we know that the very very first thing that I did
I'm using the past perfect then we know that I eat breakfast if you look at this sentence after
Work, I know I had a bath first
Because I'm using the past perfect, and then I know I watched TV after the bath because I'm using simple past
so what do you do when you come home from work, or come home from school try and write a
sentence using simple past and past
