THE EVENING IN THE RESTAURANT.

On our last vacation, my family and I went out to a restaurant. It was

a beautiful evening, but at ten o’clock, we heard a lot of screams. We
didn’t know what was happening. We wanted to leave, and suddenly,
a man appeared and said: “Stay there!”. He was a thief and he had a
gun in his hands. We had to give him our money. However, after five
minutes, the police arrived and they caught the thief, but we never
recovered our money.

THEORY
1. Simple past tense

THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE

We use the simple past for completed actions at a particular time in the past.
In the simple past tense, we can use regular or irregular verbs.
(+) Subject + verb (simple past form) + complement.
Example: My family and I went to Tarija.
(-) Subject + didn’t + verb + complement.
Example: We didn’t have a car.
(?)Did + subject + verb + complement.
Example: Did he book the hotel? Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t.

1.1. Affirmative sentences

(+) Subject + verb (simple past form) + complement.

Examples:

Irregular and Regular Verbs

IRREGULAR VERBS REGULAR VERBS

IRREGULAR VERBS VERB PAST FORM VERB PAST FORM

standard rules for the past simple
Have Had Play Played
tense.
Get Got Enjoy Enjoyed
Example:
Take Took Want Wanted
Drink = Drank
Go Went Watch Watched

Eat Ate Jump Jumped

Write Wrote Visit Visited

REGULAR VERB RULES

1. In most verbs we simply add “-ed” 2. Verbs ending in “e”: If the verb already ends
Cook = cooked in an “e”, simply add “-d”

Play = played Dance = danced

Talk = talked Close = Closed

Use = Used
3. Verbs ending in a consonant + “y”: for verbs 4. Verbs ending in a single vowel + consonant:
that end in a consonant followed by “y”, For short verbs that end in a single vowel
change the “y” to “I” and add “-ed” followed by a consonant, double the final
Cry = Cried consonant and then add “-ed”

Study = Studied Stop – Stopped

Plan – Planned

Let’s practice: put these verbs in their simple past form

Open: …………………. Share: …………………… Try: …………………
Travel: ………………… Visit: …………………….. Walk: ……………….
Study: ………………… Watch: ………………….. Copy: ……………….
Clean: ………………… Call: …………………….. Change: ……………
Accept: ……………….. Dress: …………………... Need: ………………

at 10:00 a.m. he was in the middle of the The action or situation started that time, and
action. He started at 9:00 a.m. and finished had not finished.
at 11:00 a.m., so at 10:00 a.m. he was in the
middle of riding, he hadn’t finished. Example:

Example: This time last year, they were visiting Sucre.

He was riding his bike at 10 a.m.

Customs of our region
Bolivia has many customs around the country. When we travel
visiting some places we have to see those customs. For example:
in La Paz, one important custom people have is the Apthapi, where
you have to eat a lot. There are also traditional parties for saints
in the cities and the countryside. In Santa Cruz there is a special
day for celebrating its customs, it is called the Tradicion Cruceña’s
day which is celebrated in September. Talking about Cochabamba I
think the custom is their food, they have delicious food for example
the Pique Macho, Chicharron and other dishes. You have to taste
all those delicious dishes. In Tarija the customs are the San Roque
party and the Comadres day in the carnival. We don’t have to miss
Oruro’s carnival, there we can see many dances and one of the
