Оглавление —> Глагол
Продолжаем тренироваться по теме прошедшего времени — Past Indefinite Tense. Упражнения для начального уровня (elementary) я написала. На начальном уровне любое грамматическое время всегда отрабатывается на образование отрицательной (-) и вопросительной (?) форм. Не обольщайтесь тем, что вы хорошо знаете и понимаете алгоритм образования (-) и (?). Если вы не проговорили и не потренировались достаточное количество раз, то язык вас может подвести и вы будете запинаться и путаться; поэтому надо добиваться беглости в произношении. Это вполне объяснимо: мысль гораздо быстрее, чем наш неповоротливый язык во рту, вот и надо сделать так, чтобы он поспевал проговаривать предложения без запинки. Прошедшее время — особое, здесь надо помнить и о формах неправильных глаголов, и о глаголе “to be” . Усложним немного задачу и поставим предложения в отрицательную(-) и вопросительную(?) формы. Но предложения я запишу в разных временах и плюс глагол “to be”. Само собой ( it goes without saying), надо понимать то, что вы читаете или пишете.
