Dear Rebecca:
Thank you so much for your outstanding videos. I would like to ask you about QUESTION 9 of the quiz. I already know that it should be said “What happened?” but… could you explain me why we don’t say “What did happen?”
Thank you in advance.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Rebecca hi everyone,
it’s been awhile since your last tense lesson.
How’ve you been doing? The things been upside down in this end but i’m getting by.
I took the quiz before watching the video and i got: 10/10. I’m jubilant.
Although, i’m going to watch the video. It’ll improve my current skills and consolidate knowledge.
I’m looking forward to next lesson about tenses.
Take care ans stay out of troubles.
Talk soon.
Bye <3

you are the best eng teacher i have ever seen

justkml

Rebecca thank you for the lesson but I didn’t understand case 9. I thought it will be “`What did happen”? With hard work, I brought the idea to
fruition.

DinDim

The correct is to say: “What did it happen?” You need the subject, so What did happen? is incorrect.

liosliante

Sorry, I made a mistake because as happen isn’t a transitive verb, it cannot take an object.

liosliante

Hi there.
When we ask about the subject of a setence we don’t need did, do or does:
Sara came. ( Who came?)
A car accident happened . ( What happened?)
She helped the old man. ( Who helped the old man?) The best

noureldeenahmed

Thanks for your hard work, I have a question.
What does the past simple tense of “is/are” mean?
For example, I went to a beach. The coastline was very scenic.
Does “The coastline was very scenic” mean that it is not scenic anymore?

If the coastline still is scenic, is it right to use the past tense?

usetolearningeng2018

Is-was
Are-were

It is correct to say “The coastline was very scenic.” It doesn’t mean that it’s not scenic anymore. We use “was” not “is” because you’re telling or describing what you see on that trip. You have to use the past tense when telling something about your past experiences.

Joy Lagers

Elsabrosojr

Dear Rebecca., I got 10/10 but I have a question? Q no 7, the correct answer is How much did he pay for his ticket?, if I say How much he paid for his ticket? what’s wrong about the answer?, great lesson!! Thanks for your time dear.

karthika karunakaran

Same. I was also confused about q.7. But still got the correct answer though. In this case, we have to use the helping verb “did” coz we are asking a question.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you so much for the lessons it helps so much. I have a question about #

9. Did you hear the news this morning? What _happen_?

would be my answer based on the video’s instructions. can you explain why it goes to the past tense instead of the base form?

Thank you

Mcabrera

assume it is noon time and i am person and i am asking you about news had broadcast in morning. my question would be Did you hear the news this morning? and you also going to say next. what happened? instead of what happen? it is not present simple.

magalybm30

Thank you so much for the wonderful lesson it’s really helped me to understand the past tense…

Reena Boby

I got hundred percent!

Santepheap

Thanks Rebeca for the class, you explain very clear past simple.
I have some questions for example in the following example:
Did you read the book I gave you? My doubt is about “I gave you”, because when I do a question in past all the sentence have to do in past except the verb (in this case read)?. Why we don´t use for example “Did you read the book I give you?”

Pilarlillolobos

The first clause is in past tense form “Did you read the book” so the second clause would also be in a past tense form not in the present simple form. That is why it is “I gave you?”.

Joy Lagers

Rebecca thank you: I didn´t know this tense so well as I do now! Bravo
