Let's look at the Simple Past - time expressions.

KB: Simple Past

Look at these two sentences. Underline the time expressions:
1. Last week I took lots of photos at the beach.
2. Dad gave mum a present for her birthday this morning.
Complete the rule of time expressions:
1. We use the simple past for actions or situations that clearly took place and finished in .......... .
2. We know this from a .........., or the context.
Note: Dutch speakers may find the simple past confusing because in Dutch, actions or situation from the past are often described with a present perfect.
In English, you don’t use the present perfect for something that happened in the past if you say when it happened.

In the next exercise you read the text and tick the time expressions.
Note: 8 of these are correct!

In this exercise you fill in the correct form of the verb with the simple past tense.
