Exercise A: Complete the sentences using Past Simple

In this exercise, we need to use the Past Simple tense of the verbs given in brackets. The Past Simple is used to talk about completed actions in the past.

How to form Past Simple:

• Regular verbs: add -ed (e.g., play → played)
• Irregular verbs: use the second form (e.g., go → went)

Let's complete the sentences:

1) My sister went (go) to the cinema yesterday.
- Go is an irregular verb, and its past form is went.

2) He didn't like (not like) football, so he played (play) volleyball.
- For negative forms in Past Simple, we use didn't + base form of the verb.
- Play is a regular verb, so we add -ed.

3) He broke (break) the window when he was (be) 5.
- Break is irregular (break → broke).
- Be is irregular (be → was/were). We use was for he/she/it.

4) My mum was (be) very angry because we came (come) home very late.
- Be → was for singular subjects like "my mum".
- Come is irregular (come → came).

5) She told (tell) me the problem with her mum and I helped (help) her.
- Tell is irregular (tell → told).
- Help is regular, so we add -ed.

6) They didn't visit (not visit) the museum of the town, they preferred (prefer) going to the funfair.
- Negative form: didn't + base form (visit).
- Prefer is regular, so we add -ed.

7) Did they visit (visit) their grandparents yesterday?
- For questions in Past Simple, we use Did + subject + base form of the verb.

8) Who were you with (be with) when the accident happen?
- Be is irregular (be → was/were). We use were for you.
- Note: This is a special case where the auxiliary verb comes before the subject in a question with "who".

Exercise B: Complete the sentences using Past Continuous

In this exercise, we need to use the Past Continuous tense of the verbs given in brackets. The Past Continuous is used to describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past.

How to form Past Continuous:

• was/were + verb-ing

Let's complete the sentences:

1) I was studying (study) Science for my test.
- Was (for I) + studying (present participle of study)

2) He wasn't doing (not do) his homework.
- Negative form: wasn't (for he) + doing (present participle of do)

3) They weren't playing (not play) rugby because they think is boring.
- Negative form: weren't (for they) + playing (present participle of play)

4) Were they listening (listen) to music when you opened the door?
- Question form: Were (for they) + subject + listening (present participle of listen)

5) She was going (go) to the cinema, but her friends didn't come.
- Was (for she) + going (present participle of go)

6) That boy was playing (play) the violin very well. Maybe, he was having (have) musical classes.
- Was (for that boy) + playing (present participle of play)
- Was (for he) + having (present participle of have)

7) Jane, David and Polly were watching (watch) TV when the light turned off.
- Were (for multiple subjects) + watching (present participle of watch)

8) I was beginning (begin) my English project when my sister fell.
- Was (for I) + beginning (present participle of begin)

Exercise C: Complete the text using Past Simple and Past Continuous

For this exercise, we need to understand when to use each tense:

Past Simple vs. Past Continuous:

• Past Simple: Used for completed actions in the past

• Example: I visited my grandmother yesterday.

• Past Continuous: Used for actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past

• Example: I was reading when she called.

• Common pattern: Past Continuous + when + Past Simple

• Example: I was watching TV when the phone rang.

Tips for completing Exercise C:

1. Identify whether the action was completed (Past Simple) or in progress (Past Continuous)
2. For Past Simple: use the second form of irregular verbs or add -ed to regular verbs
3. For Past Continuous: use was/were + verb-ing
4. Pay attention to context clues that might indicate which tense is appropriate
