In Session 1 we did a quiz about great achievers. In this session, we'll learn how to use the past simple tense to talk about the things they did. Have a look at these notes and then try the activities.

The Past Simple

When to use it
We use the past simple tense when an action or situation happens and finishes in the past. We usually say or know when the past action happened.
Examples

She called me at the office yesterday.

Steve went to the US three times last year.

Usain Bolt won the 100 meters in the 2012 Olympics.

How to make positive past simple sentences
The past tense is made from subject + verb-ed. Irregular verbs have a different past form.

I finished university in 2010 and I started a job in a bank. Then I left that job and went to live in Japan.

To do

Got that? Good. Now let's do some practice. Meet Rob. He's training for a triathlon. Watch his story and then do the activity. Or if you want a challenge, do the activity first and then watch the video.

Presentation on theme: "PRONUNCIATION OF THE ENDING – ED."— Presentation transcript:

1 PRONUNCIATION OF THE ENDING – ED

2 -ED as a Verbal Ending The ending –ed of the past tense and the past participle of verbs is pronounced:

3 -ED as a Verbal Ending /Id/ after d and t: add - added lift - lifted
end -ended rest - rested defend - defended wait - waited pretend - pretended

4 -ED as a Verbal Ending /t/ after voiceless sounds other than t:
/p/ - dropped, shaped, sipped, wrapped /k/ - dropped, locked, marked, wrecked /f/ - coughed, laughed, photographed, puffed /θ/ - bathed, toothed /s/ - danced, placed, kissed, missed /∫/ - brushed, flashed, rushed, wished /t∫/ - pinched, reached, touched, watched

5 -ED as a Verbal Ending /d/ after voiced sounds other than d:
/i: / - keyed, guaranteed /I/ - pitied, envied, worried, carried /ɑ:/ - barred, scarred /ɜ:/ - preferred, referred, /ə/ answered, bothered, gathered /eI/- stayed, delayed, played, weighed

6 -ED as a Verbal Ending /d/ after voiced sounds other than d:
/b/ - disturbed, robbed, grabbed /g/ - begged, dragged /m/ - aimed, seemed /ð/ - clothed, bathed, mouthed /z/ - dazed, pleased, caused /l/ - called, killed, rolled, boiled, mailed

7 -ED as an Adjectival Ending
the past participles of some verbs are used as adjectives. Then, a second syllable is added even if the base form does not end in a /t/ or /d/ sound, and the "-ed" ending will be pronounced as /id/.

8 -ED as an Adjectival Ending
The following -ed words used as adjectives are pronounced with /Id/: aged blessed crooked dogged learned naked ragged wicked wretched

9 -ED as an Adjectival Ending
So we say: the aged man /Id/ a blessed nuisance /Id/ a dogged persistence /Id/ a learned professor - the professor, who was truly learned /Id/ a wretched beggar - the beggar was wretched /Id/

10 -ED as an Adjectival Ending
But when used as real verbs (past simple and past participle), the normal rules apply and we say: he aged quickly /d/ he blessed me /t/ they dogged him /d/ he has learned well /d/ or /t/

11 -ED as an Adjectival Ending
The exceptions doesn't apply to teaching pronunciation of English past tense verbs, just past participles when they are used as adjectives.

I grew up in a small town in the northeast of England. It was by the coast, next to the sea. And now I live in London, which is a much, much bigger place compared to where I grew up.

When I was a child, I used to walk everywhere. The town was so small that you could walk from one side to the other and you never really needed a car. Now I live in London, places are so far apart that you always need to be using a bus or the Underground - Tube - or trains to get around when you're going to work or to see friends.

When I was younger, mealtimes used to be quite predictable. And we'd eat similar foods every day, consisting of meat, potatoes, root vegetables, whatever was in season at the time. We never used to have very varied meals, whereas now my diet's changed a lot. I don't eat meat anymore. And I have a diet that's all about vegetables and fruit. And I'm more adventurous in what I eat now than what I did when I was a child.

I was with my parents. My father was going to open a business in Winnipeg. People were saying to my mother and father how fortunate they were to get on the Titanic. I was excited because I was going on a wonderful big ship.

I had no fear or apprehension or anything. She was very beautiful: luxurious beyond words. It was the first time I'd been on board a ship. Captain Smith was on deck and he was very nice. He had a beard like my own grandfather and he admired a doll I had.

On the third night I was sound asleep. My mother woke me and said "I'm going to dress you." But before she could by father came back from deck and said "You'd best put this thick coat on." That was all he said. Standing on deck, I couldn't see around the funnel. My father came back and said "The ship has struck an iceberg." My father had no difficulty in putting me and my mother in lifeboats but he made no attempt to get in himself.

When we were in the water, we could hear people rushing about on the deck. That's when the panic must have started - when they found there weren't any lifeboats left. I was terrified. I didn't know what a shipwreck would mean or how long it would take but I was too terrified to do anything but shriek for my father I knew we'd left behind.

Before she sank, she was a very beautiful ship: stationary on the ocean with all her lights on. It was dreadfully cold but the sea was the calmest I'd ever seen. The starlit night was the brightest I'd ever seen.

I looked back and saw the whole of that tragedy. And I saw that ship break in half. The front part went down and left the stern sticking up in a horrifying fashion. It was enormous. It seemed to stick up in the air for a long time. And then it gradually went down, turning over.

And after that there was the sound of the whole disaster. And that was people drowning. That is something you could never forget. And then the dreadful silence that followed it. It seemed as if the whole world was standing still.

It was discovered that my lifeboat was overcrowded and the officer in charge of the boat decided he would get rid of his load by putting people in other boats. I got separated from my mother and didn't find her until the next day.

The next day, the icebergs were like white sails in the distance: white yachts with the sun on them. They were very beautiful. They were all around us. The crew of the ship that rescued us were very kind and good to us.

We were given clothes because I'd only got my nightclothes and a blanket around me. I had nightmares from the time it sank until I was 23. And though I wouldn't like to say I'm not frightened of the sea, I lost a lot of the horror. I've never been in anything touching the Titanic. A beauty. She was lovely.

English Vocabulary

The word 'Nationality' is not often used in spoken English. It is a formal and official word and it appears more frequently in written English. You will find the word 'Nationality' is used a lot in the travel industry and for immigration.

We almost never say: What is your nationality?

We usually say: Where are you from? OR Where do you come from?

To tell someone your nationality you DON'T say: My nationality is Chilean.

You say: I'm Chilean

List of Countries, Nationalities and their Languages

Below is a list of countries with the appropriate nationality. The Language that appears is the main language that is spoken in the country. We have not included all the languages that they may speak in that country.

* NOTE: Colombia is the correct spelling of the country and not "Columbia".

** You will notice that people from United States have the nationality 'American'. Some people from other parts of the American continent (especially Central and South America) tend not to like the word American for people from the United States. You will find that they will call them North American.

Form, meaning and use

Action verbs describe things we do or things that happen.

We use s tate verbs to talk about attitudes, thoughts, senses or belonging. Sometimes, state verbs can also describe actions. Most state verbs are not used in the continuous (-ing) form.

Form

Action verbs can be used in all tenses. State verbs can not be used in continuous forms.

The new baby weighed 3 kg.
NOT: The new baby was weighing 3 kg.

Here are some common state verbs:

Verbs with two meanings

Some state verbs can be used in the continuous form to talk about a temporary action or an action happening in the present. However, some state verbs can be used as action verbs in the present continuous form with a change of meaning. Here are some examples:

Does Maria have a piano? (own)
They are having lunch with their mother today. (eating)

Lola feels that we were rude. (thinks)
How has your father been feeling? (how is his health)

What do you see on the wall? (notice with your eyes)
They are seeing their cousins tomorrow. (will visit)

Informal English

In very informal English, the continuous form is sometimes used with state verbs. An example is the restaurant advertisement that says, ' I'm loving it!' You might also hear someone say, ' I'm hating this movie.' The -ing form of the verbs in these examples have a sense of being temporary.
