past tense
hello guys, this time i will let you know about past tense and several lesson from my lecture.
well this is not rare thing from everything you heard but this one is quiet important too, so let's check it out :
PAST TENSE is one of grammar rules and past tense explain about the situation or something in the past, yahh simply this one really important when you tell your story or experience in the past , and past tense always use verb2 like drunk,jumped,thought,walked etc. and for more complete about past tense you can visit the other web. for example
1. i saw a car on the road yesterday
2. i drunk a cup of coffee last night
Use to/ Used to
There is a little confusion on how to use the words use to and used to. One reason for the confusion is that it is sometimes used as a verb, and sometimes used as an adjective. The other reason is because it seems like the tense changes. It's really quite simple when you look at it.
Used as a verb. use to+verb is a regular verb and means something that happened but doesn't happen any more. It uses -ed to show past tense. But since it always means something that happened in the past, it should always use past tense. For example- I used to go to school in Paris. (I went to school there before, but now I don't.) Or, When Joshua was a child, he used to climb trees. (Now he doesn't climb trees.)
Remember, we always use this word when talking about the past. So when do you use use to without the d at the end? When the base form of the verb is used. Look at these examples- She didn't use to swim before noon. (Now she does swim before noon.) Or Did your father use to ride a horse? In these cases the past tense is shown with the did and didn't.
