Your graphic organizer must help you and your
classmates to understand the differences between
verbs and the rules that can be applied to form
past tense and improve your reading, writing and
speaking.
Simple past tense is used to describe what happened
at a specific time in the past (“last weekend” in the
previous dialogue). Take a look at Grammar Box
3 to see how to use helping verb “did”/“did not” for
negative and interrogative forms of simple past.
A graphic organizer,

knowledge map,
concept map, story
map, cognitive organizer, advance

is a communication tool that

or ideas.
