Unit 6 Overview The use of the past tenses is described in this unit. First, I found an explanation about Past Simple. The Past Simple is one of the tenses that helps to talk about events, states or actions that have been completed at some point in the past. This tense is also preferred when we want to give more precise detail concerning an event. To form Past Simple we have to make we use the past form only or the auxiliary ?did? + base form. We form the past tense of regular verbs by adding ?ed or ?d to the base form of the verb while irregular verbs have different rules to follow. Positive: Subject + past form of the verb She travelled/ She ate Negative: Subject + aux. verb ?did? + not + base form of the verb She did not travel. She didn?t traveled / She did not eat. She didn?t eat. Question: Aux. verb ?did? + subject + base form of the verb Did she travel?/ Did she eat? Next, I learned about Past Continuous. This tense expresses an action that was going on (was in progress) in the past when another action happened, expressed by the simple past in a subordinate clause. To form a sentence in the past continuous, we use the past tense of the aux. verb ?be? (was/were) + the present participle (verb + ing). Same as Present Simple it has positive, negative and question forms. Finally, this unit ends by giving more information about Past Perfect Tense. To make the past perfect continuous, we use the past form of the aux. verb ?to have? + been + the present participle (verb + ing) Positive: Subject + had + been + verb + ing/ She had been eating Negative: Subject + had + not + been + verb + ing / She hadn?t been eating Question: Had + subject + been + verb + ing/ had she been eating?
