Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to our English lesson today. Today we will be learning about the simple past tense and using it in the context of playing in the playground. This is important because the simple past tense is used to describe actions that have already happened in the past.

Explanation of Simple Past Tense

The simple past tense is used to describe actions that have already happened in the past. We use it to talk about things that started and ended in the past. To form the simple past tense, we add -ed to regular verbs. However, irregular verbs have different past tense forms. For example, the past tense of 'play' is 'played'.

Examples of Simple Past Tense

• "I played basketball in the playground yesterday."
• "She walked her dog in the park last night."
• "They watched a movie together last weekend."

Using Simple Past Tense in the Playground Context

Let's now use the simple past tense in the context of playing in the playground. Here are some examples:

• "We played tag on the playground equipment yesterday."
• "She climbed to the top of the jungle gym and then went down the slide."
• "They swung on the swings and laughed."

Homework
