LANGUAGE NOTE

In negative sentences in the past simple we use the base form of the verb, not the past tense form: He didn’t play football. NOT He didn’t played football. The affirmative and negative forms of the past simple are the same for all persons: I / He / We played football. I / He / We didn’t play football

Ex: 3 P:109

• Read the example with the class. Point out that some of the affirmative sentences will be factually incorrect, so they should write correct sentences for these ones.

• Ask students to compare their answers in pairs. They may need to refer to other sources to find the answers to these. If possible, allow them time to do this in class
