Task 2

Look and say T: Fill in the blanks using the simple past tense.

S: Alice was outside one sunny day.

T: Yes. That means ....

S: She was not at home one sunny day.

T: That’s it. We use “wasn’t”

or “was not”

to form the negative sentence. Then look at the next picture and fill in the blanks.

S: They were in the field.

S: They weren’t on the playground.

T: Right. We use “weren’t”

or “were not”

to form the negative sentence. We know that Alice jumped into the hole after the rabbit. Why?

S: She didn’t want the rabbit to get away.

T: So we can also use “didn’t do”

or “did not do”

to form negative

sentences.

T: Now let’s work out the rule. If we want to make negative sentences with simple past tense, We can use wasn’t, weren’t and didn’t.
