 ANALYSIS

The following questions will be used as guide questions for the discussions:

1. What is verb?
2. What are the tenses of Verb?
3. How to use Past tense and Past Perfect Tense?
4. What are the difference between the two tenses?

ABSTRACTION

The teacher will use the guide questions during discussions. The following concepts will be discussed:

Verbs, along with nouns, are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place. Without a
verb, full thoughts can’t be properly conveyed, and even the simplest sentences, such as ”Maria sings”, have one. Actually, a
verb can be a sentence by itself, with the subject, in most case you, implied, such as, ”Sing”! and ”Drive”!

Types of Verbs:

1. Action verbs express specific actions and are used any time you want to show action or discuss someone doing something.
(Example: run, dance, smile, go, listen)

2. Stative verbs can be recognized because they express a state rather than an action. They typically relate to thoughts,
emotions, relationships, senses, states of being, and measurements. (Example: disagree, doubt, believe, wanted)

3. Auxiliary verbs are also known as helping verbs and are used together with a main verb to show the verb’s tense or to form a
question or negative. (Common examples of auxiliary verbs include have, might, will, do, can, may)

SIMPLE PAST TENSE

We use the simple past tense to talk about actions that happened at a specific time in the past.
There can be few actions happening one after another.

These can be in terms of:

1. Events in the Past that are now Finished
The first use of the past simple is to express actions that happened at a specific time in the past.
Examples:
The Filipinos survived difficulties in the past. The Filipinos
worked for the last century.
My classmates studied about the culture of the filipinos.
2. Situation in the Past
Another use of this tense is to talk about situations in the past.
Example:
I lived in Cebu for 10 years. (I don’t live there anymore)
3. A Series of Actions in the Past
The past simple can also be used with a few actions in the past happening one after another.
Example:
The Filipinos fought for their freedom, built their country, and stood on their own.
For most verbs, the simple past tense is created by adding a d, ed or ied at the end of the word. These are called REGULAR
VERBS.

EXAMPLE:

PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE

live lived
love loved
date dated
agree agreed
die died
try tried
cry cried
nod nodded
slam slammed
cross crossed
walk walked
laugh laughed
IRREGULAR VERBS are those that don’t take on the regular spelling patterns of past simple
and past participle verbs.

PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE PRESENT TENSE PAST TENSE

eat ate drive drove

take took lose lost

bring brought come came

hold held feel felt

steal stole make made

bend bent read read

catch caught swim swam

see saw ring rang

lend lent blow blew

PAST PERFECT TENSE

The past perfect tense is a verb tense which is used to show that an action took place once or many times before
another point in the past.
The form of the past perfect tense is had+ past participle of the verb. Questions are indicated by inverting the subject
and had. Negatives are made with not.

Example:
Statement: You had studied English before you moved to New York. Question: Had you studied
English before you moved to New York? Negative: You had not studied English before you moved to
New York.
Past Perfect Uses
1. Completed Action Before Something in the Past
The past perfect expresses the idea that something occured before another action in the past. It can also show that something
happened before a specific time in the past.
Examples:
I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went home. I did not have
any money because I had lost my wallet.
2. Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-Continuous Verbs)
With non-continuous verbs and some non-continuous uses of mixed verbs, we use the past perfect to show that something
started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.
Examples:
We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in Manila for over eight years.
Although the above use of past perfect is normally limited to non-continuous verbs and non-continuous uses of mixed verbs, the
words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT non-continuous verbs.
3. Important Specific Times with the Past Perfect
Unlike with the present perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the past perfect. Although this is
possible, it is usually not necessary.
Example:
She had visited her Ilonggo relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
Moreover, If the past perfect action did occur at a specific time, the simple past can be used instead of the past perfect
when "before" or "after" is used in the sentence. The words "before" and "after" actually tell you what happens first, so the past
perfect is optional. For this reason, both sentences below are correct.
Examples:
 She had visited her Ilonggo relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996. She visited her Ilonggo
relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
However, if the past perfect is not referring to an action at a specific time, past perfect is not optional. Compare the examples
below. Here past perfect is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at a specific time. For this reason, simple past
cannot be used.
Examples:
She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct
She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct

Differences Between Simple Past and Past Perfect Tense Form

Simple Past Past Perfect Simple

Example: I spoke Example: I had spoken
regular verbs: infinitive + ed regular verbs: form of have + infinitive + ed
Example: I worked Example: I had worked
Exceptions
Exceptions when adding ed:
 when the final letter is e, only add d
Example: love - loved
 after a short, stressed vowel, the final consonant is doubled
Example: admit - admitted
 final l is always doubled in British English (not in American English)
Example: travel - travelled
 after a consonant, final y becomes i (but: not after a vowel)
Example: worry - worried but: play -
played
Use

We use Simple Past if we give past events in the order in which they occurred. However, when we look back from a certain time in
the past to tell what had happened before, we use Past Perfect.

Simple Past Past Perfect

some time in the past before/up to a certain time in the past

Example: Example:

Jane got up at seven. She opened her birthday presents and Before her sixth birthday, Jane had never been to the zoo.
then the whole family went to the zoo.
