AUXILIARY VERBS
We use the verbs do, have and be as auxiliary verbs with other main verbs.
We use forms of the verb do + infinitive (without to) in questions and negatives in the present
simple and past simple.
Do you like eggs? (present simple)
He doesn’t enjoy swimming. (present simple)
Did we meet last summer? (past simple)
He didn’t go on holiday last year. (past simple)
We use forms of the verb have + past participle in the present perfect.
Julian has been to Venice three times.
They haven’t arrived yet.
Have you ever lived abroad?
We use forms of the verb be and the -ing form in the present and past continuous. We use forms of
the verb be + past participle in the passive.
We’re staying at a lovely hotel here in Greece. (present continuous)
Were they trying to find a good restaurant? (past continuous)
Where is olive oil produced? (present simple passive)
Their flight home was cancelled. (past simple passive)
We use forms of have with been in the present perfect continuous.

NARRATIVE TENSES
The past simple is the most common tense for telling stories. It shows that the events or actions
being described follow each other in order.
He ran along the small street as fast as he could, but he didn’t realise his mistake until he saw that
there was no way out. He started to panic.
We form the past simple positive by adding -ed to the infinitive form of the verb (without to).
Some common verbs have irregular forms.

Regular verbs Irregular verbs


like – liked come – came
play – played go – went
try – tried put – put

We use did (the past form of the auxiliary verb do) with the infinitive form of the verb (without to)
in past simple negatives and questions with regular and irregular verbs.
He didn’t look surprised.
They didn’t go to school yesterday.
Did you like the class?
Did she learn French when she went to Canada?
We often use the past continuous at the beginning of a story to give background information –
the events taking place around the time of the story. The past continuous shows an action was
unfinished or that it was stopped by another action.
He was breathing heavily and his heart was beating fast; then, suddenly, he noticed a door in the wall.
We form the past continuous with was / were and the -ing form of the verb.
They were waiting for a long time in the queue.
I wasn’t watching the match; I was working.
Note the spelling for the -ing form:
Take away the final -e (like – liking).
Double the final consonant (run – running).
We use the past perfect simple for the ‘past in the past’ – an action that happened before another
past action. It often goes with words like previously, already or before.
He hadn’t seen the door before, because it was the same colour as the wall and almost hidden.
We form the past perfect simple with had + past participle. The past participle of regular verbs is
the same as the past simple form, but irregular verbs are different.
We’d remembered to take a present to the party.
They hadn’t met us before.

Complete the story with the verbs in brackets. Use suitable narrative tenses.
I’ll tell you how I met (meet) my wife, Lucia.

I1 (work) in a small hotel in Paris when I 2 (see)


her for the first time. One evening, when we 3

the same shift, I 4

moment that I would marry her. I 7

11
(ruin) my chance to become friends with her. However, two years
later, we 12
