SIMPLE PAST OF REGULAR VERBS

The structure of the simple past of regular verbs
The simple past tense of regular verbs is generally formed by adding -ed to the verb.
Example : work = worked

Singular Plural
I worked yesterday. We worked yesterday.
You worked yesterday. You worked yesterday
He, She, It worked yesterday. They worked yesterday.

• I lived abroad for ten years.

• He enjoyed being a student.
• She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.

If the verb ends with -e, just add -d.

Example : live = lived

With verbs that end in -y preceded by a consonant change the y to i before adding -ed.
Example : try = tried

With verbs ending with -y preceded by a consonant add -ed.

Example : play = played

The negative form of the simple past

Subject + did + not + bare infinitive /subject + didn't + bare infinitive

Example : I did not work yesterday./I didn't work yesterday.

33
The interrogative form of the simple past
Did + subject + bare infinitive?

Example: Did I work yesterday ?

We double the last letter of some verbs before adding -ed.

3. READING

A. Read the text and answer True or False the following sentences

The Pyramids of Egypt

Why were the pyramids built?
The pyramids were built as a resting place and to protect the Kings and queens of Egypt and other important people. Around were
130 pyramids built, the biggest one was the Great Pyramid of Giza. This was the tallest building in the world for 3800 years until the Eiffel
Tower was built. It was built for the Pharaoh Khufu and took 20 years to build it! They were built next to the River Nile, this was because
it was easier for the builders to move the large stones by boat and then they were pulled to the building area. Scientists today are
still not completely sure how the ancient Egyptians moved the massive stones. Once a pyramid was finished it was covered with white
stone and gold was put on the top. In the bright Egyptian sunshine, the white and the gold would have gleamed brightly.

The ancient Egyptian engineers planned the pyramids so that there were many rooms and tunnels. It was thought that the pyramid rooms
were for the pharaohs and all of their valuables. The engineers knew that thieves would try to steal the gold and jewels, so they
made traps and false rooms. They put doors which opened onto a wall. But it didn’t stop the thieves as many of the pyramids were
robbed. Anyone who tried to steal from the pyramids was immediately put to death.
The Egyptians believed that people would move on to another life, so they filled the pyramids with many jewels, gold, and even food.
They thought that the pharaoh would need these things in their next life. The body was cleaned and wrapped in bandages to protect it
and put it into a stone case. They also have many of their things buried with them and people drew beautiful pictures on the walls which
told the story of their lives. The ancient Egyptians used a language called ‘Hieroglyphics’ which was a mixture of drawings and signs.
So, we can discover how these kings and queens lived.

The Egyptian pyramids

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the most fascinating structures

in the world. Although they are popular tourist attractions today, the pyramids
were originally built as tombs for ancient Egyptian
kings . At the time, it was customary to mummify dead rulers and bury them with their possessions. However,
many pyramids have been robbed throughout history , and most are empty today. The first known pyramid was built
around 2600 B.C, for a king named Djoser. The largest and most famous Egyptian pyramids – the Great Pyramids
of Giza – were built between 2500 and 2400 B.C, and there is still a lot of mystery surrounding their construction. It would have been very
difficult to build such massive structures without modern technology . Historians believe that at least 20,000
workers were needed to complete the Great Pyramids.

Superlative Adjectives
A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme
quality of one thing in a group of things.
We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things (not two things).
In the example below, "biggest" is the superlative form of the adjective "big":
Formation of Superlative Adjectives
As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a superlative adjective:
short adjectives: add "-est"
long adjectives: use "most"
We also usually add 'the' at the beginning.

Exception: The following adjectives have

irregular forms:
good → the best

With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use "-est" OR "most": bad → the worst

quiet → the quietest/most quiet far → the farthest/furthest

clever → the cleverest/most clever

narrow → the narrowest/most narrow
simple → the simplest/most simple

Use of Superlative Adjectives

We use a superlative adjective to describe one thing in a group of three or more things. Look at these examples:
• John is 1m75. David is 1m80. Chris is 1m85. Chris is the tallest.
• Canada, China and Russia are big countries. But Russia is the biggest.
• Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

When we compare one thing with itself, we do not use "the":

• England is coldest in winter. (not the coldest)
• My boss is most generous when we get a big order. (not the most generous).

Camping Equipment

If you go camping and want to spend the night in

a tent, you will need certain items.
Today's tents are normally made of nylon, canvas
or other light material. They aren`t the most
expensive at the stores and they are the easiest to
fold together and carry around with you, especially
if you are backpacking. The material has to be
waterproof and is easy to put up. If you want to
sleep in a tent, you will need a sleeping bag. It
protects you from the outside cold and is warmer
than a blanket. Sleeping bags come in different
sizes, colors, and shapes.

Sleeping on the ground isn`t the most comfortable

way. Some campers have foam pads or air
mattresses, which they lie on and it is softer than the
ground. Clothing is an important aspect when you
go on a camping holiday. Be sure to take
clothes with you that will protect you from the sun, rain, and insects. Take along some lightweight trousers, comfortable shoes, and warm
shirts or a jacket for cold evenings. Always carry a raincoat or poncho with you. Hiking boots are good if you walk a lot. You will also
need other everyday items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. Take along sunglasses, maps, and a compass or maybe even
a GPS device.
Campers should also have waterproof matches, extra batteries, a knife and a lantern or torch with them.

Irregular Adjectives
Irregular adjectives do not follow these rules. Luckily there are only four of them, so they are easy to remember. The most common
are "good" and "bad", which are always irregular:

Good — better — the best.

This wine is much better than the other one.
This wine is the best I have ever tried.
Bad — worse — the worst.
The weather in England is worse than in Greece.
This is the worst storm I have ever seen.

Furthermore, there are two special cases. The adjectives "old" and "far" have a regular irregular form, depending on the context:
Old — elder — the eldest.

It is normally used for family ties, and always with a noun.

This is John, my elder brother.
She is the eldest daughter of five.
Old — older — the oldest.
The castle is older than any of the other buildings in town.
This table is the oldest piece of furniture in the house.

Far — further — the furthest.

For further information, please call this number.
The furthest galaxies are millions of light years away.
Far — farther — the farthest.
It can be used in almost all contexts except for "additional" or "at a higher level".
We took a seat farther away this time.
That is the farthest anyone has travelled.
