 Tip!

Words like (first, next, then, and finally) are

used to put sentences in order in a story.
.‫تُستخدم كلمات مثل (األول والثاني وثم وأخيرا) لترتيب الجمل في القصة‬

Writing tip!

When you give information, you often have to answer questions such
as Who, What, When, Where, and How. You give facts, not opinions.
Facts can include names, dates, and places. Then you can add more
interest by giving extra information. This might not answer a Wh-
question, but it is something that people might want to know.

Read the questions and the answers.

1. Where is it from? - It’s from Alexandria.

2. How old is it? - It’s 3,000 years old.

3. What is it made of? - It’s made of wood.

4. How long is it? - It’s 50 centimeters long.

 Past Simple Tense ‫زمن املاضي البسيط‬
We form the Past Simple Tense with the subject and
the main verb.
In the affirmative sentences, we form the past simple of
regular verbs with the ending (-ed).
.)ed( ‫ في صيغة اإلثبات ينتهي الفعل بالنهاية‬.‫يتكون من الفاعل والفعل الرئيسي‬
I visited the bazar. We played a game.

Spelling rules
We form the Past Simple of regular verbs as follows:
:‫نكون صيغة الفعل في زمن ا لماضي البسيط لألفعال المنتظمة كاآلتي‬
When a verb ends in (-e), we only add (-d).
.)-d( ‫) فقط نضيف حرف‬-e( ‫إذا انتهى الفعل بحرف‬
smile smiled dance danced bake baked
When a verb ends in (-y) and before that there is a vowel,
we take off the (-y) and add (-ied).
.)-ied( ‫) ونضيف‬-y( ‫) مسبوق بحرف ساكن نحذف‬-y( ‫إذا انتهى الفعل بحرف‬
study studied try tried carry carried
But if there is a vowel before the (-y), we just add (-ed).
.)-ed( ‫) مسبوق بحرف متحرك فقط نضيف‬-y( ‫ولكن إذا انتهى الفعل بحرف‬
stay stayed play played enjoy enjoyed
If a verb has only one syllable, ends in a consonant and before that
consonant there is a single vowel, we double the final consonant
before adding (-ed).
‫إذا انتهى الفعل ذو المقطع الواحد بحرف ساكن مسبوق بحرف متحرك نضاعف الحرف الساكن قبل‬
.)-ed( ‫إضافة‬
stop stopped step stepped clap clapped
But if the verb ends in (-w or -x), the final consonant is not doubled.
.‫) ال نضاعف الحرف الساكن‬-x ‫ أو‬-w( ‫ولكن إذا انتهى الفعل بإحدى الحروف‬
snow snowed fix fixed mix mixed
We do not form the past simple of irregular verbs by adding (-ed).

.‫) ولكن لها شكل خاص‬-ed( ‫ال نكون زمن الماضي البسيط بالنسبة لألفعال الغير منتظمة بإضافة‬
I gave my Mom a present for her birthday.
We made cookies in Eid Al-Fitr.

In the question,

We form the past simple by putting (Did) at the beginning of the

.‫) في بداية السؤال قبل الفاعل والفعل المصدر‬Did( ‫نكون زمن الماضي البسيط في صيغة السؤال بإضافة‬
Did they take a boat trip yesterday?
Did you visit a museum?

In short answers,
We use (did/ didn’t) on their own. We don’t repeat the verb.
A: Did you buy jewelry?
B: Yes, I did.
No, I didn’t.

In Wh- question, we use this form

(Question word (What) + did + subject ‫ الفاعل‬+ inf.‫)?… مصدر الفعل‬.
What did she cook yesterday?
She cooked meat.
Use
We use the Past Simple to talk about::‫نستخدم زمن الماضي البسيط للتعبير عن‬

The ancient Egyptians were able to farm the land because
of the River Nile. Every year, the Nile flooded during the

June to September. After the flood water went away, the soil
was fertile and good for farming. This was Peret, the growing
season. It lasted from October to February. During this time,
farmers grow their crops. They dug canals to carry water from
the river to the fields. During the harvesting season, farmers
cut and stored their crops safely. It lasted from March to May.
