  1. GRANTING AND DECLININGA REQUEST UNIT 8

  2. LESSON B • Grammar • Simple Past • 1. Form • The simple past is formed by using the past tense form. When the verb is regular we add –“d” or “-ed” to the bare infinitive to form the past tense. For negative and question we use “did” and “the infinitive” Examples : • I/You/He/She/It/We/They played/did not play. • Did I/you/he/she/it/we/they play? • Yes, I/You/He/She/It/We/They did. • No, I/You/He/She/It/We/They didn’t. • Note : A mistake is to use the past tense form in negatives and in questions. We use “did” and the bare infinitive. • WRONG : Did you played football? • No, I didn’t played it. • RIGHT : Did you play football? • No, I didn’t play it.

  3. LESSON B • A different pattern for the “verb to be. • Examples: • I/He/She/It was/was not (wasn’t) happy. • We/You/They were/were not (wasn’t) happy. • Was I/he/she/it…? • Yes, I/he/she/it was. • No, I/he/she/it wasn’t. • Were we/you/they…? • Yes, we/you/they were. • No, we/you/they weren’t.

  4. LESSON B • 2. Irregular verbs • There are many verbs that we don’t add “-ed” to the bare infinitive to form the simple past, but change it into different forms. • Examples: • I went to Australia last year. (bare infinitive : go) • I made a call to her yesterday, but she wasn’t in the office. • (bare infinitive : make, be) • 3. Completed actions • The simple past is used to talk about completed actions in the past. • Example: • We didn’t go our last night. • We stayed at home and watched TV.

  7. LESSON A • Colon • We use a colon to indicate an elucidation or explanation. • It is very often used before a list. • Example: • The members which participated in the conference were the • following : Sakchai, Decha, and Prasit. • The colon is used after the salutation in a formal • or business letter. • Dear Sirs : • Gentlemen : • The colon is used in writing clock time. • 5 : 25 a.m. • 2 : 05 p.m. • The even hours are customarily written out. • Example. • I got up this morning at six o’clock although I usually wake up at five.
