AGGETTIVI POSSESSIVI
Grammar Review:
I > My (Il mio) !!! ATTENZIONE !!!
You > Your (Il tuo) N.B. In inglese non viene speci-
He > His (Il suo di lui) ficato esplicitamente genere (a
parte la 3a singolare) e numero.
She > Her (Il suo di lei)
Possiamo applicare questi ag-
It > Its (Il suo di esso)
gettivi a tutte le combinazioni di
We > Our (Il nostro) genere e numero esistenti.
You > Your (Il vostro) Avremo quindi, ad esempio,
che My pu essere usato per:
They >Their (Il loro)
Il mio, la mia, i miei, le mie.

Day 4

SIMPLE PAST
Grammar Review:
Frasi Affermative:
Soggetto + Verbo al Past Simple + Oggetto To Be
(I worked last month)
Frasi Negative I was
Soggetto + didnt + Verbo al Simple Present + Oggetto You were
(I didnt work last month) He/She/It was
Frasi Interrogative:
We were
Did + Soggetto + Verbo al Simple Present + Oggetto
You were
(Did you work last month?)
They were

!!!
Con il simple past iniziamo a sorgere alcune regole che dobbiamo tenere ben presente:
1. Nelle frasi affermative, il verbo va coniugato al passato. Per farlo bisogna aggiunge-
re -ed alla fine del verbo nella forma presente (senza il to davanti, come nel pre-
sent simple). Ci sono alcune regole da seguire per questa coniugazione, che sono ri-
portate nella tabella che segue.
2. Come in italiano ci sono verbi regolari (che aggiungono -ed) e verbi irregolari le
cui forme vanno semplicemente imparate a memoria.
3. Nelle frasi negative ed interrogative, appare lausiliare do nella forma passata
did. Molto importante notare come quando questo avviene, il verbo principale
TORNA nella forma presente. Possiamo dire che il passato viene preso da did e
che quindi ripeterlo nel verbo principale sarebbe inutile.
