The Beatriz Pucci's workshop was very interesting. She ordered we to make an exercise with some grammatical structure. I decided to speak on Simple present and Simple past. For this I chose a text that has the two structures and exercises to differentiate. First, read the text!
Burger Queen
She's 109 years old, and she only eats junk food.
Yesterday was Mary Alston's birthday. She is 109 years old, and she is the oldest person in the world. And she only eats junk food. Mrs. Alston had a party with six generations of her family. Her daughter, Jenny Morgan, who is 85, said, "My mother loves chocolate, and eats only popcorn, pizzas, and burgers. She never eats fresh food. She says she doesn't like it." Mrs. Alston lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She was born on a farm in Pennsylvania, and worked as a teacher. In 1915 she married James Henry Alston. He died in 1983. Her granddaughter, Annie, who is 65, said, "Grandma gets up every day at six o'clock, and goes to the hairdresser every Friday." Annie asked her grandmother what she wanted to eat on her birthday. Mary said, "I'd like a cheeseburger and fries!"
Questions:
1. When was Mary Alston's birthday?
2. Did she have a party?
3. Does she eat fresh food?
4. What did she eat?
5. What was her job?
6. Where was she born?
7. When did she marry?
8. What time does she get up?
9. Where does she go every Friday?
10. Give two verbs in simple present.
11. Give me two verbs in simple past.
And now I go to explain on the verbal times:
Use the present simple for things that are gerelly true or habitually happen.
To make negatives use don't / doesn't + the infinitive.
E.g.: I work / play / live
I watch / finish / go / do
I study He works / plays / lives
She watches / finishes / goes / does
She studies
Attention:
I have He has, not he haves
Past simple
Use the past simple for finished actions.
Regular verbs in the past it adds ''ed'' .
E.g. worked, lived, played.
The past is the same for all persons.
Use did / didn't + infinitive for past interrogative and negative.
And that is it!
