PAST PERFECT VS. PAST SIMPLE

Hello students of 3º ESO!!!!

Today we're going to deal with the second part of the gramar of unit 8. This parts deals with the differences between the Past Perfect and the Past Simple.

Past perfect vs. past simple

We can use the past perfect and the past simple to show the order of two past events. The past perfect shows the earlier action and the past simple shows the later action.

When the police arrived, the thief had escaped.

It doesn't matter in which order we say the two events. The following sentence has the same meaning.

The thief had escaped when the police arrived.

Note that if there's only a single event, we don't use the past perfect, even if it happened a long time ago.

The Romans spoke Latin. (NOT The Romans had spoken Latin.)

Past perfect with before

We can also use the past perfect followed by before to show that an action was not done or was incomplete when the past simple action happened.

They left before I'd spoken to them.
Sadly, the author died before he'd finished the series.

Adverbs

We often use the adverbs already (= 'before the specified time'), still (= as previously), just (= 'a very short time before the specified time'), ever (= 'at any time before the specified time') or never (= 'at no time before the specified time') with the past perfect. 

I called his office but he'd already left.
It still hadn't rained at the beginning of May.
I went to visit her when she'd just moved to Berlin.
It was the most beautiful photo I'd ever seen.
Had you ever visited London when you moved there?
I'd never met anyone from California before I met Jim.

If you still have doubts about it, you can read an explanation in Spanish in the following link:

MODALS PART 2 (2º ESO)

Hello students of 2º ESO!!

Today we're going to see two verbs that are considered semi-modals: NNED TO AND HAVE TO. They are called semi-modals because theyy are used as modals but thet have the particle TO.

NEED TO 

It expresses that something is necessary. It can be used in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences:

Do you have a minute? I need to talk to you about something.
I don't need to be told that I should lose weight.
Do you need to use the hairdryer?
If you want good results, you will need to work harder.

HAVE TO

Have to expresses external obligations, which come from outside of the speaker. These may be rules and regulations imposed by an external authority:

I have to get to work by 9 every day.
Do you have to wear a uniform at your school?

Absence of obligation is expressed with the negative form of have to, not with mustn't. Mustn't is used to express that it is necessary not to do something:

I don't have to get up early tomorrow. It's a holiday. (I can get up late.)
You mustn't tell anyone. It's a secret. (Don't tell anyone.)

 

*As you can see, to form the negative and interrogative we use don't, doesn't and do. 

If you still have doubts about this, you have an explanation in Spanish on Pages 105 and 106 of your Workbook. Also, you can leave a comment on this post.

Take care!!!!! 

 

PAST SIMPLE NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE

Hello students of 1º ESO C!!!!

Today we are going to learn how to make sentences in past simple negative and interrogative.

Past Simple negative

We use didn't (did not) to make negatives with the past simple:

         

They didn't go to Spain this year.

We didn't get home until very late last night.

I didn't see you yesterday. 

Past simple questions 

We use did to make questions with the past simple:

Did she play tennis when she was younger?
Did you live abroad?
When did you meet your wife?
Where did you go for your holidays?

*It's important that you keep in mind that with did or didn't we put the other verb in its base form.

Example:

Did you see Maria last night? (NOT Did you saw Maria last night?)

Short Answers with DID

Remember that if the question starts with DID, you can give a short answer using DID. It is not necessary to use the main verb in the answer.

Examples

Did you sleep well last night?
Yes, I did / No, I didn't.

Did the airplane arrive on time?
Yes, it did / No, it didn't.

If you still have doubts about this, here you have an explanation in Spanish:

MODALS 4º ESO

Hello my dear students of 4º ESO!!

Today we're going to learn about the modal verbs. They're very easy to use but we need to know how they work and the differences of meaning that they have.

1. Here's a list of the modal verbs we're going to see today:

•  can/can't
•  could/couldn't 
•  be able to
  
•  must 
•  mustn't
•  should/shouldn´t
•  don't have to
•  don't need to
•  may/might

2. Modals are different from normal verbs and they have some things in common:

1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular.
2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?').
3: They are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to').

3. Structure of the modals:

Modals usually follow the same structure,(except be able to, don't have to and don't need to) which is the following:

AFFIRMATIVE: SUBJECT + MODAL + VERB + COMPLEMENT. 

Example: She can play the piano.

NEGATIVE: SUBJECT + MODAL + NOT + VERB + COMPLEMENT

Example: James can not/can't play football.*

*As you can see, with the modals we can use an abbreviated form in the negative structure. (can not=can't, could not=couldn't, must not =mustn't, should not =shouldn't). May and might don't have an abbreviated form. You need to be careful with the spelling of the abbreviated forms. 

INTERROGATIVE: MODAL + SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT?

Example: "Can she play the piano?"

4. We're going to classify the modal verbs according to what they express: ability, ability in the past, possibility, obligation,etc.

In the following document you have an explanation of the modal verbs which have been classified according to their different uses.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tTvViwZT0H_BfXyuW6cjEnnVNFwx-lCu/view?usp=sharing


Also, if you still don't understand completely the modal verbs you have an explanation in Spanish on pages 104, 105 and 106 of your Workbook.

So, that's all about modal verbs!!

Kind regards from your English teacher!!!
