Hi. I'm Jennifer from English with Jennifer. Do you want to study basic
grammar with me? Subscribe and watch my lessons with Flavia and Andreia.
Did you see my two lessons on fairy tales? Flavia, Andreia, and I worked together. We had fun.
We told to children's stories. "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
The first time, we told each story in the present tense, and then we changed
the story and told it in the future. In this lesson, we're going to tell those
same stories again in the past tense.
You just heard some past tense verbs: Did you see? Worked together. Had some fun.
Told two stories. Changed the story. In English, we have regular and irregular
verbs. Regular verbs end with -ed in the past tense,
like "worked" and "changed." Irregular verbs have special forms in the past tense,
like "had" and "told." Let's practice using irregular verbs. Okay?
Ladies, do you remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Yes.
Yeah? Let's remember the story. So, Little Red Riding Hood...where is she going?
She's going to grandmother's...the grandmother's house. Yeah and what is she taking?
Basket. A basket of? A basket of... food. A cat? It's a basket of food. No, no cat. The wolf would eat the cat.
Just food. She's going to her grandmother.
I think her grandmother's sick, so she's going to visit her grandmother and she
has this basket. So she goes to the woods, and she meets the wolf. The wolf. Yeah.
And the wolf hears about the plans. And the wolf and go...goes...goes to the
grandmother's house first. He goes fast. Yeah and he eats...he eats the grandmother. Yeah.
It's a real great story for children! He eats the grandmother, and then Little Red Riding Hood
comes and she sees the wolf. And she ask...asks...asks questions about his eyes, his mouth, teeth, ears...yeah.
She thinks this is really strange, and the wolf tries to eat...eat her.
And there's different endings, but usually someone comes and helps Little Red Riding Hood,
and everything is okay. So, okay. We can tell the story in the present, and
we can change the story, as we did. We changed the story and we talked about
what's going to happen in our story. That Little Red Riding Hood and the
grandmother will fight. The wolf will go. We're going to tell the story in the past.
How it happened. To do that, we need verbs in the past, so we need to remember that
some verbs are special. Today I see. Yesterday I saw. Okay. Today I find.
Yesterday I found. Today I meet. Yesterday I met. Today I eat. Yesterday I ate.
Today I go. Yesterday I went. Went. Okay. So these verbs will help us right now.
Now you know some verbs in the past tense. Can you tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood?
I think you can. I'll help. Use the words I give you. Change the verbs to the past tense.
Little Red Riding Hood went to her grandmother's house.
She met a wolf in the woods.
She told the wolf her plans.
The wolf went to the grandmother's house first and ate her.
Little Red Riding Hood came to the house and found the wolf in bed.
She saw some differences.
Little Riding Hood was scared, so she got help.
In the end, Little Red Riding Hood was okay.
Okay. Let's recall the other fairy tale, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
Pay attention to irregular verbs in the past.
All right. So if those are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven verbs with past
forms that are special. They're irregular. We have more. Right? So, for example, let's
look at these. Today I leave. Yesterday I left. Left. Today I run. Yesterday I ran.
Today I sit. Yesterday I sat. The other story that we read was "Goldilocks."
Right? But we're going to tell it in the past. Okay? Once upon a time, there was a
little girl named Goldilocks. And where did she go? Where did she go? She went to the woods,
and she found the bears' house. The bears' house. And what happened?
She went in. She went in the house. Mm-hmm. And what did she find in the house?
She found bowls of cereal.
She founds chairs. Three chairs. Three beds. Mm-hmm and..she tried...yes.
So "try" is a regular verb. It just takes a regular ending. She tried...
She tried everything. She tried everything. She sat in the chairs. Right?
She ate cereal...ate the cereal. Mm-hmm. And there's one more. Let's use this one.
Finally, she tried all the beds. Right?
What happens in the past to "fall"? Fell. Mm-hmm.
So she sees the beds. Let's go into the past. She went upstairs.
She found the beds, and she fell asleep...she fell asleep.
Mm-hmm. Who came home? The bear family came home. Mm-hmm. And? And found her...found her there.
And the ending? Uh, she ran? She ran.
Yeah. She left. She ran away. She ran away.
Let's quickly review the irregular verbs we've used.
GO in the past is WENT.
meet - met
eat - ate
find - found
come - came
see - saw
leave - left
sit - sat
get- got
run - ran
tell - told
have - had
How did you do? If you need to, review those irregular verbs again.
All right. So let's try this. I'll tell you something that I usually do, and
you can change it to the past. Okay? I get seven hours of sleep every day. I usually
get seven hours of sleep. I usually get seven hours of sleep. You can say, "Oh, yesterday
you got got seven hours of sleep. Okay? So I usually get seven hours of sleep.
You got seven hours of sleep. Okay. Um. I usually go to the store on Saturday.
You went
to the store...to the store...on Saturday. You're just changing it. I'm tell you what I
usually do. So, you went to the store on Saturday. I usually go to the
store on Saturday. You went to the store on Saturday. My children come home from
school at 3 o'clock. What happened yesterday?
Your children came to...came home at three. At 3 o'clock. Okay?
I like to sit and play the piano in the evening. So what happened last night?
You liked? I usually sit and play the piano in the evening.
She sat and played...played the piano on Saturday. Or yesterday because this is what I like to
do in the evening, so usually I sit and play the piano.
I sit and play. You sat...you sat, but...
when I say, "I sit the piano"...No "I sit in"? You sit at the piano. You sit at the
piano, like you sit at a desk, sit at the table, sit at the piano. Right? But because
I have two verbs, I can say, "I like to sit and play." I like to sit and play the
piano. I like to sit and play the piano. So I usually sit and play the piano in the
evening. Ah, so I know yesterday you...she sat and played the piano.
