00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.190
sentences past continuous past perfect

29
00:01:02.190 --> 00:01:11.069
past simple what do these sentences

30
00:01:11.069 --> 00:01:13.130
communicate with the past simple a

31
00:01:13.130 --> 00:01:16.650
completed action in the past a repeated

32
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:19.530
action in the past a sequence of actions

33
00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:20.350

[Music]

35
00:01:23.950 --> 00:01:27.650
if you chose this option you're right

36
00:01:27.650 --> 00:01:30.200
but these are also common uses of the

37
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.569
past simple we'll get into that later in

38
00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:34.910
this lesson can you figure out what he

39
00:01:34.910 --> 00:01:38.450
says here how did you find me anyway

40
00:01:38.450 --> 00:01:40.730
you called me said you were never coming

41
00:01:40.730 --> 00:01:49.310
back so I jumped on a plane so I jumped

42
00:01:49.310 --> 00:01:50.840
on a plane flew across the Atlantic

43
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.240
Canada isn't across the Atlantic you're

44
00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:56.900
talking nonsense now when we talk about

45
00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:59.390
the past tense this is when the famous

46
00:01:59.390 --> 00:02:02.330
irregular verbs come into play if a verb

47
00:02:02.330 --> 00:02:05.660
ends in E D it's a regular verb if it

48
00:02:05.660 --> 00:02:07.880
changes in another way or if it remains

49
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:08.690
the same

50
00:02:08.690 --> 00:02:11.480
it's an irregular verb let's now watch

51
00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:13.940
an another short clip you two remind me

52
00:02:13.940 --> 00:02:22.580
of me and my sister would you two remind

53
00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.800
me of me and my sister we used to fight

54
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.360
all the time I used to accuse her of

55
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.130
stealing my boyfriend she would accuse

56
00:02:28.130 --> 00:02:30.500
me of trying to stab her you know sister

57
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:31.940
stuff oh my god

58
00:02:31.940 --> 00:02:35.090
she says used to but if you chose wood

59
00:02:35.090 --> 00:02:38.389
that's also correct were used to is not

60
00:02:38.389 --> 00:02:40.280
grammatically correct in this sentence

61
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.190
describing habits in the past is a big

62
00:02:43.190 --> 00:02:45.980
reason why we use the past simple so

63
00:02:45.980 --> 00:02:48.139
you'll learn all about these expressions

64
00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:50.560
this is what we'll cover in this lesson

65
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.070
past simple past continuous used to and

66
00:02:55.070 --> 00:02:59.330
would be or get used to finally we'll

67
00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:01.040
test everything you've learned with a

68
00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:07.669
fun quiz at the end let's start with the

69
00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:09.830
past simple and take a look at when we

70
00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:12.320
use it the first use is to talk about

71
00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:14.799
completed actions and events in the past

72
00:03:14.799 --> 00:03:17.720
let's look at this example in all three

73
00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:20.799
forms as an affirmative negative and

74
00:03:20.799 --> 00:03:24.200
interrogate sentence he had an exam on

75
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.630
Monday he didn't have an exam on Monday

76
00:03:26.630 --> 00:03:29.870
did he have an exam on Monday we usually

77
00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:32.600
specify when the action happened with

78
00:03:32.600 --> 00:03:35.980
phrases such as last week last year

79
00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:39.370
today this morning etc everybody if the

80
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:41.290
office bought me this clock last month

81
00:03:41.290 --> 00:03:43.269
I've been thinking about going back to

82
00:03:43.269 --> 00:03:45.190
school for a while now so a couple

83
00:03:45.190 --> 00:03:46.840
months ago I started taking a history

84
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.360
class at the Community College a useful

85
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.549
word to use in the past tenses is just

86
00:03:51.549 --> 00:03:54.190
used with the past simple it implies

87
00:03:54.190 --> 00:03:55.840
that the action was just completed

88
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.560
recently hi we just found this cat and

89
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.220

my god look I just got a text for Robin

93
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:31.660
it says the next use of the past simple

94
00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:33.190
is when we describe a sequence of

95
00:04:33.190 --> 00:04:35.770
actions of events in other words a

96
00:04:35.770 --> 00:04:39.339
series of completed actions example he

97
00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:41.200

98
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:43.930
finished work walk to the bar and met my

99
00:04:43.930 --> 00:04:44.529
friends

100
00:04:44.529 --> 00:04:46.870
with this use of the past simple we

101
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:53.860
often used then this is about Nora you

102
00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:57.250
met a girl you liked her but then you

103
00:04:57.250 --> 00:04:58.990
missed your shot and now you're trying

104
00:04:58.990 --> 00:05:00.970
to hook up with your ex-girlfriend to

105
00:05:00.970 --> 00:05:03.220
prove to yourself that you don't care we

106
00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:04.870
also use this tense for long-term

107
00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:08.349
situations in the past example I worked

108
00:05:08.349 --> 00:05:11.380
for that company for five years so of

109
00:05:11.380 --> 00:05:12.760
all the candidates that you interview

110
00:05:12.760 --> 00:05:14.440
today who do you think I should hire

111
00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:17.260
well the interviews got a little off

112
00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:20.110
track but I'd go with Simon Walker

113
00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:22.060
computer science degree work for the

114
00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.139
Board of Ed for ten years

115
00:05:23.139 --> 00:05:26.889
right no way lastly we used this tense

116
00:05:26.889 --> 00:05:29.200
to talk about repeated actions or habits

117
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:31.660
in the past example I played the guitar

118
00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:34.270
when I was in my 20s before I got into

119
00:05:34.270 --> 00:05:36.849
real estate I work construction you work

120
00:05:36.849 --> 00:05:38.199
construction I'll stop saying it like

121
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.779
that I put ten months of my life into

122
00:05:40.779 --> 00:05:42.940
this place I'd love to look around one

123
00:05:42.940 --> 00:05:44.349
last time before they tear the old girl

124
00:05:44.349 --> 00:05:46.870
down this is similar to the meanings of

125
00:05:46.870 --> 00:05:49.500
used to and wood which we'll see in

below it to learn more and sign up we

146
00:06:38.610 --> 00:06:40.470
use the past continuous together with

147
00:06:40.470 --> 00:06:42.210
the past simple in a sentence like this

148
00:06:42.210 --> 00:06:45.900
I was watching TV when he called this

149
00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:47.760
sentence has both the past continuous

150
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:50.760
and past simple in the continuous form

151
00:06:50.760 --> 00:06:52.830
we stayed a longer action that is

152
00:06:52.830 --> 00:06:54.720
interrupted by the action in the past

153
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.240
simple these two actions are linked with

154
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.270
when in this example this interrupts the

155
00:07:00.270 --> 00:07:02.130
action in the present continuous

156
00:07:02.130 --> 00:07:04.290
I was sleeping when the baby started

157
00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:06.750
crying let's watch some other examples

158
00:07:06.750 --> 00:07:08.729
this wound is obviously the product of

159
00:07:08.729 --> 00:07:11.300
gunshot you need to be honest with me

160
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:15.440
what was he doing when he got shot

161
00:07:17.630 --> 00:07:19.820
host Oh crying Tommy found me five hours

162
00:07:19.820 --> 00:07:23.210
later we use the present continuous for

163
00:07:23.210 --> 00:07:25.730
two things happening at the same time we

164
00:07:25.730 --> 00:07:27.830
often use while in these types of

165
00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:30.440
sentences example while you are making

166
00:07:30.440 --> 00:07:33.410
noise I was studying or I was studying

167
00:07:33.410 --> 00:07:35.900
while you were making noise wait a

168
00:07:35.900 --> 00:07:37.160
minute what do you mean you're taking

169
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:39.590
over my job well while you were on your

170
00:07:39.590 --> 00:07:43.130
baby vacation I was doing your job Haley

171
00:07:43.130 --> 00:07:47.890
Dunphy do you know how much I admire you

172
00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:53.780
working my butt off not worried about

173
00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:54.800
anything

174
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.050
another use is for talking about

175
00:07:57.050 --> 00:07:59.180
repeated actions with words like always

176
00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:01.820
or constantly to express the idea that

177
00:08:01.820 --> 00:08:03.440
something is irritating or shocking

178
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:06.320
example he was always listening to loud

179
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:09.230
music it was not easy for me to trust

180
00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:11.030
him and after the husband that I'd had

181
00:08:11.030 --> 00:08:13.790
this guy left tools in the yard like the

182
00:08:13.790 --> 00:08:15.860
kids wonder why no I hate to see you

183
00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:20.570
Carter he's interrupting me the last use

184
00:08:20.570 --> 00:08:22.310
we will cover in this lesson is for

185
00:08:22.310 --> 00:08:24.650
