Past tense (Apuntes)
Past tense, a form of a verb that shows the time of its action in relation to the time of speaking
Past Simple
Past simple of verb be: was / were
-We use past simple – > to talk about the past / telling a story. We use the past simple to talk about completed actions and events in the past. We use the past simple for finished actions in the past.
-The past simple is the same for all persons ( I, you, she, etc)
-We often use the past simple with a time phrase; with past time expressions, e.g. yesterday, last night, in 1945 etc.
eg : I was born in Hungary. I visited Paris in January. They didn´t see his new film last night
↑↓
Regular verbs
Spelling rules for regular verbs:
↑
-Regular verbs in the past afirmative end in -ed → e.g. worked, lived, played.
/d/, /t/ or id/
Notice the spelling rules for other regular verbs:
- for verbs ending in -e, we addv-d: eg. die → died
- for verbs ending in -y, we change the -y to i and add -ed: eg. try → tried; cry → cried; study → studied
- for verbs ending in vowel + consonant (not -w, -x, -y), we double the consonant: stop → stopped.
We use the auxiliary verb did/didn´t to form → negatives and questions. eg. Kirsten didn´t go on the adventure. Did you live in Peru?
↓
We also use did / didn´t to form short answers.
Did you live in Peru? Yes, I did.
Did Kirsten go on the adventure? No, she didn´t.
Irregular verbs
Some verbs have an irregular affirmative form in the past simple:
be → was / were; do → did; go → went; drive → drove; know → knew; take → took.
-Use the irregular past form → only in afirmative sentences: eg. I saw a film last night.
↑
-Use the infinitive after did/did´t for past simple interrogative and negative. Idid´t go last night.
Remember word order in questions = ASI or QUASI
Can you…? Can / Can´t → Past of can = Could
-Can you introduce yourself? / Could you… ? -> for past interrogative
–Couldn´t -> for past negative
Past Continuous
We form the past continuous with the past simple of the verb to be plus -ing form of the verb
Use
We use the past continuous to:
- describe actions and situations in progress at a particular time in the past. eg. Paul was watching TV. Katy was reading a book.
- talk about the background to a story. The sun was shining and the birds were singing
We often use the past continuous with the past simple to talk about two action that happened at the same time in the past. We can join the tenses with the words → when or while. eg. Tania was waiting at the station when the rest of the climbing team arrived. While the team were walking to the train, she ran to meet them.
Remember, we don´t usually use → stative verbs (e.g. be, like, believe, understand) in the continuous form.

Quién es quién en la foto de familia del G-20

Trump y Peña de nuevo cara a cara: EU insiste en el G20 que México pague el muro
La foto que convirtió al presidente Emmanuel Macron en el «James Bond francés»
El flamante presidente francés Emmanuel Macron, se ha convertido en una verdadera estrella mediática por obra y gracia de sus admiradores en Internet. Macron recientemente pasó varias horas a bordo del submarino nuclear “Le Terrible”, simulando un lanzamiento de misiles. El ensayo militar buscaba enviarle un mensaje al mundo y en particular a Corea del Norte tras el primer lanzamiento exitoso de un misil intercontinental: Francia no se sentiría intimidada. El presidente francés quería estar plenamente involucrado en el simulacro de principio a fin, así que entró en el submarino desde un helicóptero.
Pero nosotros, los comunes mortales que pululamos Internet, no nos habríamos enterado si no hubiera sido por un tuit del mismísimo Macron, que muestra al atlético presidente de 39 años descendiendo colgado de un arnés hasta la superficie del submarino. En cuestión de segundos comenzaron las comparaciones, y Macron se vio transformado en el James Bond francés. Sin embargo, no faltaron las críticas y los sarcasmos de quienes ven en la imagen una simple operación publicitaria del presidente.

Multi – syllable words have one stressed syllable.

Useful phrases

See you on Monday

Pronunciation. Understanding connected speech.
When people speak they don´t usually separate all the words. For example, if a word ends whith a consonant and the next word begins whith a vowel, they join them together. e.g Turn off the music.
British and American English. The same, but different
British and American people speak the same language English, but with some small differences.
Spelling
Colour, favour, and other words that en in -our in British English end with -or in American English, e.g. color, favor. Centre, theatre, and other words that end in -tre in British English end with -ter in American English, e.g center, theater
Pronunciation
The most important different between American and British English is pronunciation. American accents and British accents are quite different, and when an American starts speaking British people know he or she is American, and vice versa.

CELN en el País: #Represión en #SantaCruz / ¿#CTERA y el #PARONACIONAL?
Repudio a la represión ¡Paro de CTERA ya! / #Docentes
- Pago de sueldos adeudados
- Respuesta a los reclamos
Comunicado. Los docentes, estatales, jubilados aún no cobraron los sueldos de marzo. La situación es insostenible. El gobierno de Alicia Kirchner y el FPV no sólo ofrecen un mísero 3% de “aumento” salarial anual, sino que no pagan siquiera los meses trabajados ni dan respuesta al conjunto de reclamos. Por eso su salida son palos y represión al que proteste.
Exigimos a la conducción Celeste de CTERA que, así como se llamó a paro ante la represión sufrida en el Congreso al intentar instalar la “Escuela Itinerante”, se llame de inmediato a un paro nacional docente en repudio a la represión, para exigir solución a los docentes y trabajadores santacruceños, apoyar las demás provincias en conflicto y dar continuidad a la lucha nacional. Paro que también deben convocar y apoyar ambas CTA y la CGT para parar la mano a Alicia, a Macri y su ajuste al servicio de las corporaciones.
Alicia Kirchner dijo que la protesta frente a su casa fue un «ataque planificado»
La gobernadora habló sobre los incidentes con manifestantes frente a la residencia oficial. Y denunció: «Quieren mi cabeza para la campaña electoral nacional».
Sobre el video de #Cristina / Verso, mentiras & video
“Es muy importante comprender quién pone en práctica la violencia: si son los que provocan la miseria o los que luchan contra ella” (Julio Cortazar)
La ex presidenta #CristinaKirchner publicó una extensa filmación sobre los hechos ocurridos el viernes en Río Gallegos. El video está lleno de falacias, mentiras y omisiones para justificar la brutal #represión desatada sobre el pueblo que reclamaba en la residencia de la gobernadora #AliciaKirchner. En este artículo respondemos las falsedades de las declaraciones de CFK.
La irónica respuesta de un «conocido movilero» a Cristina Kirchner
Alicia, otra Kirchner que maneja poder y hundió a Santa Cruz en una crisis
Santa Cruz: Kirchnerismo en estado puro
Esas pocas palabras que se viralizaron remiten a los letales gobiernos que perpetuaron su poder con la fórmula “Pan y circo”, incendiaron la democracia y sabotearon nuestro destino.

The blue cross. Report
In the litle restaurant of London there were two clues. Salt in sugar bowl and stains on the restaurant´s white wall.
The waiter said that two priests played this joke.
Then, in a fruit shop, the cards with the prices of oranges and nuts were wrong. There were another clues. The man of the shop said that to two priests knocked over his apples and gave the direction where the priests went.
Later the inspector Valentin, and another policemen, found in Hampstead a restaurant with a broken window. The inspector asked to the waiter about it and he said that one of the two priests paid to him too much. «I was sure that I´d put four shilling on that bill but now I saw it was fourteen», he said. One of the priests broke the window and said that this money will pay for the window.
Also the waiter said to inspector Valentin that the priests went up to Bullock street, so the inspector ran up that road.
In a sweet shop a woman gave him the last clue. One of the two priests that were before there buying some sweets leave her a parcel wiht the silver cross and gave her an address in Westminster to send it.
Then the inspector Valentin saw Flambeau looking and talking like a priest.
Flambeau wanted the blue cross of the other priest who stayed with him, it was impossible because the priest gave the parcel with the jewel to the sweet shop woman to send it to a friend in Westminster.
Finally, the clever Flambeau had been caught for the inspector Valentin with help of the father Brown.
