SIMPLE PAST

SIMPLE PAST 












is very useful because it describes accions that started and finishen in a specific time in the past, that is to say, we use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past.
EXAMPLES: - Mercedes studied Medicine in 1993
                      - I traveled to France two years ago.
                      - Max and Mathew lived in Buenos Aires



Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I ate hamburgers..." or "when class began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important
EXAMPLES: - When I finished my homework I came to your house
                      - Thomas felt happy when He saw Mary


If you wish to deny a sentence in past or you need to make a question you must use the auxiliar DID for each pronoun. ( It doesn`t matter if it`s first or third person)
 EXAMPLES: -  We didn`t buy groceries yesterday
                       -  Sam didn`t eat their salad
                        - Did you bring the duck and the potatoes?
                        - Did my mom prepare the lunch?

Above  you will find an interesting tale that describes this situation in a clear way.






                                                                    THE DARK FOREST





Once upon a time a family that lived next to a forest. They were very happy and shared everything . Each morning mom prepared the breakfast and dad picked up vegetables and food, cut trees for preparing the fire, and the children read, painted, played and laughed all the day.
But there was something misteriouus around.The Dark forest was forbidden because mom and dad said it was enchanted. Every night they heared strange sounds around and they  were too frightened a Wild cries, furios screams... it was horrible..! 
One day  mom and dad needed to visit their family in the town because it was an emergency, so they left them  but at first they awared the children to avoid the dark  forest and keep in house.
Unluckly. they didn`t obey and thought : " this could be a good experience!..." They wanted to prove their courage. So they went towards the forest and they began to feel very scared. Sounds were strange and they saw shadows everywhere...they tried to run but It was really dark.... they were desperate and they lost awarness. At next morning they woke up in a house... an old man was looking at them. " who are you? " they asked. " I lived there with my family but they got sick and they died" he answered sadly.
"But did you scream so terrible?"  they said .  "yes... I really felt so bad"
Children thought and thought and they said at the end: " live with us!!!!!"
the man was surprised but he said.." it would be great....i am very happy with a new familly!!!"
When mom and dad came back they were too surprised but they felt good because they could help the old man with their company..... and they lived happy for a lot of years.
THE END
