• These are the words a, an and the which usually comes before the nouns or adjectives. 1. Definite article - the This refers to something specific or definite. The usually means ‘You know which ones(s) I’m talking about’. E.g.: i. Anne received the award for bravery. (a specific award) ii. ‘Wait for me at the Kerinchi LRT station’. (a specific place) iii. Can I use the phone? (the hearer knows that this means ‘your phone) 2. Indefinite article - a / an This is non-specific or indefinite. A / an shows that we are talking about one person or thing. We often use a / an: • in descriptions She’s an interesting person. He’s got a loud voice. • when we say what something is, or what somebody’s job is. This is a_return ticket. I’m an engineer. 3. Zero article - (-) (-) No article is used before the names of countries, cities, streets, continents, lakes, mountains, villages, etc. He lives in (-) Toronto, a large city in (-) Canada on the shores of (-) Lake Ohio. (-) No article is also common before uncountable, plural and often abstract nouns when we are talking about things in general. Have we got any (-) milk? (-) Oranges are nicer than (-) apples. In general, an is used when the word following it begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u): an umbrella, an elephant, an octopus, an idea, an apple. BUT -

If the first letter of the word is a vowel, but sounds like a consonant, then use a: a used car, a useful gadget. If the first letter of the word is a consonant, but sounds like a vowel, then use an: an hour, an honest man, an MG sports car.

UNIT 14 :

THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE

•

The Simple Past Tense is used to talk about actions, states, and situations in the past.

•

We use the Simple Past when we talk about something which started and finished in the past.

Eg: Yesterday, Ali walked to school. Simple Past

— -------------------------------------> Past

Present

Future

We use the Simple Past to describe a series of actions in the past.

Eg: Yesterday, Ali woke up, brushed his teeth and took a bath. Simple Past ♦ ♦_______________

action 1 action 2

Past

Present

Future

We can use the Simple Past together with the Past Continuous

Eg: Yesterday, while Ali was walking to school, he saw a cat.

Example: • Emily Dickinson lived in the nineteenth century. She was a poet. She wrote more than a thousand poems

You can use the simple past tense with time expressions that refer to the past.

Some examples of past time expressions are: i. “last” Examples: • •

She was here last Sunday. They were in London last year.

ii. "ago” Examples: • •

He went shopping in the new mall a week ago. We saw the Director eating in the cafe a while ago.

iii) "yesterday” Examples: • •

Joe was at the cinema when their parents came back from Tokyo yesterday. Ali and Zai were doing their assignments yesterday afternoon.

REGULAR VERBS You will notice that the word ‘look’ does not change when we add the suffix “-ed” and the main verb ‘look’ is the same. Therefore "LOOK” is a regular verb. PRESENT

I look through the window.

PAST

I looked through the window.
