I will write few sentences on the board using the past simple tense structure and explain the form of past simple tense. Then I will set the chart having the structure of the past simple tense together with the example sentences. After that I will explain that the past simple tense is used to tell about states completed at a certain point of time in the past. I will also point out that “-ed at the end of the verb form” is the prime marker for the past simple tense. (Irregular verbs will be explained later). (I will write several verbs on the board with the past form of the verbs so that students can notice that “-ed” is the prime marker of the past tense).

After that I will explain that we use past simple tense in questions to ask about things happened and completed in the past. I will also explain to the students that we use the past form of “do” which is “did” to ask in the past and with “did” we use the verb in the simple form, but when we answer we convert the verb into the past form. Example:

(1) Did you enjoy last cricket match of Bangladesh?

(2) Did you study for the exam?

Students will listen to my lecture.

Students will write the structure and examples in their class work copy.

Answer 1: Yes, we enjoyed the last cricket match of Bangladesh. OR: Yes, we did. Answer 2: Yes, I studied for the examination. OR: Yes, I did.

Physical Response – I will invite some students to perform certain activities and after that their classmates will be asked to tell about the activity they saw. For example: I will invite “student- A” to walk in the classroom. Then I will ask “student-B” – What did “student –A” do? Creating questions using past tense Guided oral practice – class will practice by converting my statements into questions. Example 1: Teacher: I explained this point before. Example 2: Teacher: I wrote the example on the board. Making negative statement using past simple tense Negative statement –. Example 1: Teacher: Did you see the movie?

Student A: will walk in the classroom. Student B: “Student-A” walked in the classroom.

Example 1: Student A: Did the teacher explain this point before? Student B: Yes, He explained it before. (or) Yes, he did. Example 2: Student A.: Did the teacher write the example on the board? Student B.: Yes, he wrote the example on the board. Student B: I didn’t see the movie. ( or) No, I didn’t.
