Day and night, Past simple regular verbs Level 2
Introduction
Have you ever wondered why we have day and night? The Earth spins on its axis, creating a cycle of light and darkness. In this lesson, we will explore the difference between day and night while practicing past simple regular verbs. Let’s dive in!
Definition and Concept
Day and Night: Day is when the sun shines, and we can see everything around us. Night is when the sun goes down, and it gets dark. This cycle repeats every 24 hours, thanks to the Earth rotating on its axis.
Past Simple Regular Verbs: These are verbs that end with -ed when we talk about something that happened in the past. For example, ‘play’ becomes ‘played’ and ‘jump’ becomes ‘jumped’.
Historical Context or Origin
Understanding day and night has been crucial for humans throughout history. Ancient civilizations relied on the sun’s position to tell time and plan their daily activities. The concept of past simple verbs helps us communicate about events that have already occurred.
Understanding the Problem
To grasp the difference between day and night, think of activities you do during each time. During the day, we go to school, play outside, and do chores. At night, we eat dinner, read books, and sleep.
To use past simple regular verbs, consider what you did yesterday. For example, ‘I played soccer’ or ‘I watched a movie.’
