 How to use
Past simple
1. We use the Past simple for the states and actions which happened in
the past.
Example: I saw someone famous yesterday.

2. The action can be short or long, single or repeated

Example: He took the train to work every day.
I dropped the glass and it broke on the floor.

3. We also use the Past simple to talk about states in the past
Example: When I was young, I loved playing with my toys.
 How to use
Past continuous
1. We use the Past continuous for actions in progress at a time in the past
Example: I was living in London then
Sometimes this includes a specific time or another (completed past action)
Example: We were having breakfast at eight o’clock
2. The Past continuous often describes the situation or the background to a story.
We use the Past simple for the main events.
Example: The sun was shining and I was walking along the road. Suddenly someone shouted to me
…
3. Sometimes the Past continuous action us interrupted
Example: They were talking about me when I walked in the room (= they stopped talking)
4. We use the Past continuous for actions we see as incomplete.
Example: I read a book about Italy (=I read it all)
I was reading a book about Italy on the plane (=I probably didn’t read it all)
 Past simple Past continuous

1. Yesterday, ago, last

(week, year, month), in the
past, the day before, today,
1. At + time + last (day/ week/
this morning, this
month/ …)
Identificati afternoon
2. While
on sign 2. After “as if”, “as
3. At this moment + last (day/
though”, “it’s time”, “if
night/ week/ … )
only”, “wish” , “would
sooner”/ “rather”
Compare the Past simple and the Past continuous

 2. Used to

Positive form Negative form Question form

I/You/he/she/it/ I/you/he/she/we/ Did I/ you/

we/they used to they didn’t use to he/she/it/we/they use
work work to work?
 How to use
Cấu trúc used to hay cấu trúc used to V được sử dụng để nói về một thói quen,
hành động, sự kiện hoặc trạng thái đã từng xảy ra trong quá khứ và không còn
xảy ra trong hiện tại nữa. Đôi khi nó được dùng để nhấn mạnh về sự khác biệt
giữa hiện thực và quá khứ.

a, We use used to for habits and states in the past.

For example:
I used to go to the gym every day.
My sister used to have really long hair.

b, We can always use the Past simple instead of used to.

For example:
I went to the gym every day.
My sister had really long hair.
 Note
Không saocủa
1, Phủ định nếu
cấu trúc used to V có thể được viết dưới dạng used not to V. Ví dụ:
cảm
I usedthấy
not tobuồn.
go swimming.
She used not to drink that much coffee.

2, Không có thì hiện tại với cấu trúc used to V trong tiếng Anh (There is no equivalent
form in the present). Để nói về thói quen trong hiện tại, ta dùng các trạng từ tần suất
(usually, always, often, never,...). Ví dụ:
I usually go to my parents’house on Sundays.
not:
I use to go to my parents’house on Sundays.

3. Used hay use?

Khi trong câu không có “did”, ta dùng “used to”
Khi trong câu có “did”, ta dùng “use to”
 3. not … any longer /
not … anymore

These phrases mean that an action or state was true in the past, but is not true
now.
I used to play volleyball, but I don’t any longer.
Andrew doesn’t drink coffee anymore - it gives him a headache.
She used to be my best friend => She is not my best friend anymore.

NOTE:
Có rất nhiều người nhầm lẫn giữa anymore và any more. Mặc dù 2 từ này được viết giống
nhau, chỉ khác nhau dấu cách nhưng khi sử dụng lại mang nghĩa khác nhau.
Anymore được dùng như một trạng từ chỉ thời gian và mang nghĩa vẫn, nữa. Tuy nhiên,
trong tiếng Anh – Anh,
Any more lại đề cập đến số lượng
 4. Still

We use still when we want to emphasize that an action or state has not
stopped or changed, but continues up to the present.
I still remember how frightened I was.
Practice

Some necessary skills when doing the reading test
• Skimming
Definition: Skimming is the skill of skimming quickly, to find the main
content.
Skimming skills are applied in the following types of lessons:
• Matching headings (nối tiêu đề)
• Summary completion (điền từ vào phần tóm tắt)
• Diagram Labelling (dán nhãn biểu đồ)

2. Scanning
Definition: Scanning is the skill of quickly skimming, to find specific details,
without understanding the content of the text.
Scanning skills are applied in the following types of lessons:
• Note/ Sentence completion (điền từ vào ghi chú/ câu)
• True/ False/ Not given hoặc Yes/ No/ Not given

Reading: 10 ways to improve
your memory True
So what do TRUE, FALSE and
DON’T KNOW mean?

• If the passage contains information

and affirms that information, then the
answer is TRUE
• If the passage contains completely
opposite information, then the
answer is FALSE
• If no information is available or
cannot be determined, the answer is False
DON’T KNOW
Some tips when doing True, False:
• The answers appear in the order in which they are read.
• You don't need to read the entire text. First, you will scan for
keywords that appear in the clause, then read in detail the part
where they are in the passage.
• There will be at least one of each answer type – True, False, Not
Given. So, if your answers only have TRUE & FALSE without
DON’T KNOW, or have TRUE & DON’T KNOW without
FALSE… then you have done something wrong.
• The clauses will not contain the exact word to be found in the
reading passage. They will contain synonyms and paraphrasing.
So don't try to find the exact word, look for its synonyms.
