Verb tense review: the simple past.
The simple past is used for actions that took place in the past and are finished. For example:
“Yesterday I went to the gym after work.”
“Last week I met a woman who is a yoga instructor.”
Here are some sentences to practice with:
1 - I lived in Los Angeles for three years. (Then I moved to Miami.)
2 - She studied Turkish when she was living in Ankara. (Then she moved to Berlin and started studying German.)
3 - My mother worked in a hospital for 20 years. Then she retired.
4 - I studied piano when I was a teenager. In college I switched to guitar.
5 - I played basketball a lot when I was in high school.
6 - She spoke Italian as a child, but stopped when she moved to Germany.
7 - My uncle was an Olympic athlete in his youth.
8 - I worked hard today—too hard!
9 - My grandson rode his bike to school this morning.
10 - After school we watched a football game.
11- I rode my motorcycle to work yesterday.
12 - I listened carefully to all the sentences.
13 - We shopped for two hours and bought some new clothes.
14 - Where did you work last year? I worked in Belgium.
15 - Who did you invite to your party? I invited all my favorite people.
16 - Where did you find that lovely painting? I bought it at an art gallery.
17 - When did you get back from Germany? The plane landed early this morning.
18 - How did you learn to speak French? I married a French woman.
19 - Why did you come home so early? The party was really boring.
20 - I quit my old job last month. Yesterday I found a new job and it’s going to be great!
