RP Review (part I) - N2


USED TO

We use ‘used to’ to talk about things that happened in the past – actions, habits or states – that no longer happen now.

Structure and examples:
I used to eat meat, but I became a vegetarian 3 years ago.
Did he use to play volleyball in school?
They didn’t use to reunite every Friday night.

EXERCISES ON PAGE W5, NUMBERS 7 AND 8



SIMPLE PAST X PRESENT PERFECT

SIMPLE PAST

We use the simple past to refer to definite time in the past (when we specify the time or how long) and usually with past time expressions such as yesterdaytwo weeks ago, last year, in 2004.

Structure and examples:
We met in a café yesterday.
Did we travel to Japan in 2004?
We didn’t watch the game yesterday.

PRESENT PERFECT

We use the present perfect to talk about time up to now: events that took place in the past, but which connect with the present. Another situation is that the time when the action happened isn’t relevant.

Structure and examples:
I haven’t eaten pizza this year.
Has she rehearsed for the last five months?
They’ve played in 4 championships.

NOTE: 
I/you/we/they + have + verb (3rd form)
He/she/it + has + verb (3rd form)

COMPARISON:
I did so many things today x I have done so many things today
The day ended and you’re about to sleep X It emphasizes how tired you’re and perhaps
                                                                                                that you still got things to do

EXERCISES ON PAGE: W11, NUMBERS 6,7 AND 8



PAST PERFECT

When we talk about something that happened in the past, we sometimes want to refer back to something that happened before that time.

SITUATION: 
John left the house at 7:30 yesterday morning. Steve rang John’s doorbell at 8:15 yesterday.

Structure and example of the use of the Past Perfect
Steve rang John’s doorbell at 8:15 yesterday, but John had already left the house.
