Dear trainees,
salam
After our last session we effectively covered a significant part of the English grammar. Previously we looked at the present simple/contenuous. Now we have studied the Past tenses (simple and continuous). This means we have covered Unit one through Unit 3 in your student book.
Please review the grammar references at the end of your book and do not hesitate to read the entire Units on your own. I will gladly answer any question. For the past tense cases of use and choice between simple and continuous I refer you to page 132.
Just to solidify our lesson plans that you are probably getting accustomed to by now:
We Spent the beginning of class hearing and discussing your fellow trainees’ Guardian articles’ presentations.
Then who moved on to presenting the rules and manner in which to conjugate verbs in the simple past tense. Remember, there are regular verbs that assume an -ed form in the past and irregular verbs that change otherwise when conjugated (Exmpl: To be in the past is either was or were, review the list I printed for you for the most common irregular verbs).
Do not feel too pressured to learn the whole list. In reality reading and listening to native speakers will help you know how to conjugate irregular verbs in the past “by ear”. If it were hard to learn them naturally then we would have been handing out irregular verbs lists to babies.
Don’t forget to finish your past tense exercises. I would gladly go over them for you outside of session time.
Finally we did some exam preparation through Questions 26 and 27. I will post the exam on a separate post soon when we progress through enough units so you can also prep on your own time.
We did not manage to find time to make our own written productions so I hope we manage to do that tomorrow.
Wishing you a healthy night of sleep,
Your trainer
