SIMPLE PAST REGULAR VERBS

The simple past is used to describe an action that ocurred and was completed in the past.
The simple past is formed adding -ED to the base form of the verb (infinitive without to).

Base form + ED = SIMPLE PAST

play ------played

The simple past of regular verbs is very easy. It is the same for all persons, here are example sentences of the simple past with the verb study.
I studied

She  studied
It studied
We  studied
You studied
They studied

For regular verbs ending in the vowel -E add -D

Hate----hated

WILL / BE GOING TO

When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will'.

• The President will serve for four years.
• The boss won't be very happy. (won't = will not)
• I'm sure you'll like her. (you'll = you will)
• I'm certain he'll do a good job. (he'll = he will)

If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as 'probably', 'possibly', 'I think', 'I hope'.

• I hope you'll visit me in my home one day.
• She'll probably be a great success.
• I'll possibly come but I may not get back in time.
• I think we'll get on well.

If you are making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use 'going to'.

• Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day.
• Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours.
• The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight.
• Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.

At the moment of making a decision, use 'will'. Once you have made the decision, talk about it using 'going to'.

• I'll call Jenny to let her know. Sarah, I need Jenny's number. I'm going to call her about the meeting.
• I'll come and have a drink with you but I must let Harry know. Harry, I'm going to have a drink with Simon.

COUNTABLES / UNCOUNTABLES

COUNTABLE NOUNS.

Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". we can count pens. We can have one, two or three pens or maybe more.
Here are some jmore contable nouns:

• dog, cat, animal, man, person.
• bottle, box, litre.
• coin, note, dollar.
• cup, plate, fork.
• table, chair, suitcase, bag.

COUNTABLE NOUNS CAN BE SINGULAR OR PLURAL:

My dog is playing.

My dogs are playing.

WE USE THE INDEFINITE ARTICLE A/AN WITH COUNTABLE NOUNS:

A dog is an animal.

WE CAN USE SOME AND ANY IN COUNTABLE NOUNS.

I have got some pens.

Have you got any pens.

When can I use HOW MUCH or HOW MANY?

     

UNCONTABLE NOUNS.

Uncontable nouns are substances, concepts... that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them.

We can count "bottles of water", but cannot count "water" itself:

You cannot count.

• music, art, love, happiness.
• advice, infortmation, news.
• furniture, luggage.
• rice, sugar, butter, water.
• electricity, gas, power.
• money, currency.

WE USUALLY TREAT UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS AS SINGULAR. WE USE A SINGULAR VERB:

This news is very important.

Your luggage looks heavy.

WE CAN USE SOME AND ANY WITH UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS:

I've got some money.

Have you got any rice?
