1️⃣ Past Simple (Passato Semplice)

Usiamo il Past Simple per:
✅ Azioni concluse nel passato (I visited my grandparents yesterday.)
✅ Eventi che si susseguono nel passato (She opened the door, walked in, and sat down.)

🔹 Struttura

• Affermativa: Soggetto + verbo al passato (+ complemento)
  • I played football yesterday.
• Negativa: Soggetto + did not (didn’t) + verbo base
  • She didn’t go to school last Monday.
• Interrogativa: Did + soggetto + verbo base
  • Did you watch the movie last night?

---

2️⃣ Past Continuous (Passato Continuo)

Usiamo il Past Continuous per:
✅ Azioni in corso in un momento preciso del passato (I was studying at 8 p.m. yesterday.)
✅ Azioni interrotte da un’altra azione (I was watching TV when she called me.)
✅ Due azioni contemporanee nel passato (While she was cooking, I was reading.)

🔹 Struttura

• Affermativa: Soggetto + was/were + verbo -ing
  • He was sleeping at midnight.
• Negativa: Soggetto + was not (wasn’t) / were not (weren’t) + verbo -ing
  • They weren’t listening to the teacher.

inglese - lezione con esercizi sulle time clauses

 Ecco una lezione e degli esercizi sulle time clauses (clausole temporali) in inglese, con relative

soluzioni!

---

1. Introduzione alle Time Clauses

Le time clauses indicano quando accade qualcosa e spesso usano congiunzioni temporali come:

• when (quando)
• while (mentre)
• before (prima)
• after (dopo)
• until (fino a quando)
• as soon as (non appena)

In una frase, la time clause può apparire prima o dopo la frase principale.

Esempi:

• When I get home, I will call you. (Quando torno a casa, ti chiamerò.)
• She finished her work before she went out. (Ha finito il suo lavoro prima di uscire.)

Nota importante: Dopo le time clauses, nei tempi futuri (come when, after, until), l’inglese utilizza il presente semplice anziché il futuro.

• I will call you when I arrive. ✅
• NOT: I will call you when I will arrive. ❌
