6. VERB TO IN PAST

 Thursday, 05 March of 2026

Hello my dears students, today we are going to learn about verb to be in past

The past tense of the verb ‘to be’ is ‘was’ for singular subjects (I, he, she, it) and ‘were’ for plural subjects (you, we, they). These forms describe actions or states in the past.

For first person singular and third person singular, use the word was. In all other cases, use were.

For example:

• She was a student.
• They were doctors.

Asking question with the verb “to be” in past

In order to ask a question, was/were needs to be at the beginning of the sentence:

• Was she a student?
• Were they doctors?

Using the negative form of “to be” in past simple

In negative sentences, add the adverb not and put it before the word was/were.

Remember that most of the time the contraction (shortened form) is used in negative sentences: wasn’t = was not/weren’t = were not.

• He wasn’t at the cinema with us.
• We weren’t at home on Sunday.
• I wasn’t hungry.

1. Fill in the blanks with "was" or "were" 

• I ______ at school yesterday.
• They ______ very happy.
• She ______ not at home last night.
• ______ you tired after the match?
• It ______ a sunny day.

2. Make the sentences negative 

• Example: We were at the park. -> We weren't at the park.
• He was my teacher. -> _________________________
• They were friends. -> _________________________

3. Convert to questions

6. PRESENT CONTINOUS

 Thursday, 05 March of 2026

Hello my dears students, today we are going to learn about present continuous

The present continuous tense expresses actions happening right now, temporary situations, or future plans, formed by subject + be (am/is/are) + verb-ing. It is used for immediate actions ("She is reading"), ongoing trends ("People are changing"), and fixed arrangements ("We're meeting tomorrow").

Key Grammar Rules & Structures

• Positive: Subject + am/is/are + verb-ing (e.g., I am working).
• Negative: Subject + am/is/are + not + verb-ing (e.g., She is not eating).
• Question: Am/Is/Are + subject + verb-ing? (e.g., Are they coming?).
• Spelling Rules for -ing:
• Most verbs: Add -ing (e.g., work 
  

  $$
   working).
• Verbs ending in -e: Drop -e, add -ing (e.g., write 
  

  $$
   writing).
• Verbs ending consonant-vowel-consonant: Double final consonant, add -ing (e.g., sit 
  

  $$
   sitting)

• Usage Scenarios
• • Actions happening now: "I'm watching TV".
  • Temporary situations/trends: "I'm staying with a friend this week".
  • Definite future plans: "We're flying to Paris on Monday".
  • Repetitive actions (with "always/constantly"): "They are always complaining".

  
  
• Common Mistakes & Notes

  • Stative Verbs: Generally, state verbs (e.g., know, understand, love, believe, need) are not used in continuous forms (e.g., say "I know," not "I am knowing").
  • Contractions: In conversation, contractions are common (e.g., I'm, you're, he's, she's, we're, they're)

8. PAST PERFECT

 Thursday, 05 March of 2026

Hello my dears students, today we are going to learn about past perfect

USES

1. El pasado perfecto se usa para referirse a una acción que ocurrió en el pasado antes que otra. En este caso, la primera acción se conjuga en past perfect, mientras que la segunda, la más reciente, en pasado simple. Por ejemplo

I had watched the movie before I read the book (Vi la película antes de leer el libro).

2. Sirve para hablar de una acción que ocurrió antes de un tiempo específico en el pasado. Por ejemplo:

I had fallen asleep when the clock rang at 11 PM (Ya me había dormido cuando la alarma sonó a las 11 PM).

3. Se utiliza para hablar de acciones que iniciaron en el pasado y continuaron hasta un tiempo determinado también en el pasado. Por ejemplo:

I had been happy in all my jobs until I got this one (Había sido feliz en todos mis trabajos hasta que entré a este).

4. Es útil para el reporte indirecto con el fin de reutilizar lo dicho por una persona cuando esta habló en presente perfecto. Por ejemplo:

I have started a new degree →She said she had started a new degree (Empecé una nueva carrera → Ella dijo que empezó una nueva carrera).

5. En algunas situaciones, se puede utilizar en oraciones condicionales. Por ejemplo:

If you had told me before, I would have helped you (Si me hubieras dicho antes, yo te hubiera ayudado).

EXERCISES

1. Alex ________________ (not/travel) alone before his trip to london

2. I _________________ (be) at home all day. I had to get out and go for a walk

3. She ____________________ (teach) Shakespeare before
