介绍:
Today, it is a holiday in America!
4th of July!
Tonight, we will cook outside, and then there will be big fireworks
So today we're going to study the past tense
This kind of short question we've studied before.
For example: Where did you go to university?
I went to Bard College, in New York.
Question 1: Where did you go to university?
In English you can say: I didn't go to university (就OK了)
Short questions with the past tense, we studied before....
But there are also some longer questions.
Q: When did you move to Los Angeles?
A: I moved here ten years ago. I didn't speak English.
The final type of question, we haven't studied before....
Did you .....
So let me ask you a question....
Question 2: Did you take English classes in High School?
Yes I did. I took 4 years of English in High School.
Yes I did. I studied English for 2 years in High School.
Okay ... let's doing some of the questions in the book
I think it will help you get more clear on this type of question.
Be careful of the pronunciation here: "where" "were"
A: Did you grow up there?
B: No, I didn't. I grew up in Canada
Where did you go to high school?
I went to high school in Ecuador.
And when did you graduate?
I graduated last year. Now I work as a salesperson.
And the last one!
Don't need to go fast!
Everyone's past tense is better than I thought.
Good... this one is a bit more difficult, I think.
Did you have a favorite teacher when you were a child?
A: What did he teacher?
B: He taught English.
child
Okay! Let me ask you a question
Question: Did you have a favorite teacher when you were a child?
Here's my answer:
Yes, I did. I had a great teacher named Ms. Chen. She taught me Math.
Okay ... so let's move on to Section 5
We're going to talk about a few more questions using the past tense.
So ... here are some questions that use the past tense.
I'm going to ask a question, then give you an example answer.
Then you can give me your own answer.... based on the example.
Then you can give me your own answer.... based on the example.
A: I went to elementary school in Boston.
Chinese school names
Here's how you say them in English
#91 Elementary School
Number 91 Elementary School
Q: Were you a good student in elementary school
A: Yes I was. The teacher loved me.
Don't forget to use "was"!
I think that's your meaning?
So for your homework!
Each person picks 6 questions
Then ask your partner those questions
Go slow!
Don't try to make a very complicated answer. Just use the past tense and give a short, correct answer.
My best subjects were history and math.
Yes, go slow!
But I want you to practice them first (a little bit)
Oh good..
Yes, good idea
Okay! Then we'll review them tomorrow...
Sweet dreams!
