Past Tense for The sixth graders

Past tense is used to express the activities in the past.
You have to change the verbs into Verb 2 in positive sentence whenever it is verbal sentences. in other hand you have to change to be ( am, is or are ) into was or were whenever it is nominal sentence.

A. Verbal sentence

(+) Yesterday, Paul and John went fishing.
(+) We visited uncle Jeff last week.
(+) I saw Mr. Parmana two days ago.

if you want to make them into negative sentences, please add did not after subject and change the verb into bare infinitive.
(-) Yesterday, Paul and John did not go fishing.
(-) We did not visit uncle Jeff last week.
(-) I did not see Mr. Parmana two days ago.

You can change them into interrogative sentences by placing did in the beginning of the sentences and keep the verb in infinitive form;
(?) Did Paul and John go fishing?
(?) Did you visit uncle Jeff last week?
(?) Did you see Mr. Parmana two days ago?

B. Nominal Sentence
When you find nominal sentences, you have to change to be into was or were. it depends on what the subject is. Was is used for I, He, She and It but were is used for you, we and they.
(+) I was late yesterday.
(+) We were happy during the party last night.
(+) She was absent last week.

we can change them into negative sentences by adding not after was and were.
(-) I was not late yesterday.
(-) We were not happy during the party last night.
(-) She was not absent last week.

if you want to make interrogative sentences, you just put the to be in the beginning of your sentences :
(?) Were you late yesterday?
(?) Were you happy during the party last night?
(?) Was she absent last week?

last week, yesterday, ...ago. just now etc...

How to tell the time ....( the fifth graders )

students, we're sometimes confused how to tell time correctly,... it's because we have learn many ways to say it. As I know from my previous study, e.g. = 1:10. how should we tell that time? we can mention it both " it is one ten " and " it is ten past one".
but let me suggest you to use the first only to your friends or your family. In the other hand it will be better if you use the second way to your senior or your teachers.

What time is it?
If you need to know exact time in progress, please use " What time is it?" or What time do you usually go to school? What time and What time,....................and the answer is about the time. don't even be wrong with the question word " When". The question word "when" is not used to asked ask the time, but the day, the month, and the year.
