Geçmiş Zamanla İlgili Zaman İfadeleri

İngilizce'de geçmiş zamanı anlatırken belirli zaman ifadeleri kullanırız. Bunlar:

Yesterday morning/afternoon/evening $Dün sabah/öğlen/akşam$
Ago ile yapılan ifadeler: three days ago (üç gün önce), ten minutes ago (on dakika önce)
Last night/Saturday/summer/August $Geçen gece/Cumartesi/yaz/Ağustos$

"To be" fiilinin geçmiş zaman halleri was ve were olarak karşımıza çıkar:

I/She/He → was / wasn't
You/We/They → were / weren't

İpucu: Geçmiş zamanla ilgili cümlelerde zaman belirteci (yesterday, last week, two years ago gibi) görmek, o cümlenin Simple Past Tense'de olduğunu anlamanı sağlar!

Örneğin:

Yesterday, Ahmed was at school, he wasn't at home.
I wasn't in İzmir two weeks ago. I was in Istanbul.
The students weren't in the bus, they were in the school garden.

Soru yapısında:

Were you in the class yesterday? → Yes, I was. / No, I wasn't.
Where were you? → I was at home.

Düzenli ve Düzensiz Fiiller

Geçmiş zamanda fiilleri iki gruba ayırırız: düzenli ve düzensiz fiiller.

Düzenli fiiller genellikle fiilin sonuna -ed veya -d ekleyerek yapılır:

like → liked
enjoy → enjoyed
watch → watched
study → studied
cry → cried
play → played

Düzensiz fiiller ise belirli bir kural izlemez, ezberlemek gerekir:

think → thought
drink → drank
write → wrote
go → went
read → read (okunuşu "red")
have → had
put → put (değişmez)

Önemli Not: Düzensiz fiillerin geçmiş hallerini düzenli olarak pratik yapmak, onları daha kolay hatırlamanı sağlar!

Örnekler:

Yesterday I came to school late.
She visited her grandmother two days ago.
The students were in the science lab last lesson.

Geçmiş Zaman ve Gelecek Zaman İfadeleri

Geçmiş zaman örnekleri:

They spent the holiday in Bodrum last week.
My mom cooked the meal yesterday.
I enjoyed the party last night.

Gelecek zaman için "going to" ve "will" yapılarını kullanırız:

I'm going to make a delicious dessert for dinner tonight.
I will answer the door.
Look out! It is going to rain soon.

Simple Present Tense (Geniş Zaman) kullanımı:

She doesn't study regularly so she is lazy and she gets bad marks.
Do you listen to pop music in your free time?
They usually go on a picnic at the weekends.

Hatırlatma: Zamanları ayırt ederken cümledeki zaman belirteçlerine dikkat et! "Usually, always, every day" gibi ifadeler geniş zamanı; "yesterday, last week, ago" gibi ifadeler geçmiş zamanı gösterir.

Geniş zaman kullanımında 3. tekil şahıslarda (he, she, it) fiillere -s/-es eklemeyi unutma:

She speaks English because she is English.
We don't go to school on Sundays.
Does he work late on weekdays?
