In November 2022, I had a great conversation with Saran, who is a student from Singapore, currently doing an internship in Nagano, Japan. He is interested in programming. Here is that interview.
EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #3
In today’s interview, please listen for when Saran and Kris use the simple past tense. Past tense adds “ed” to the end of verbs in a sentence. There are also irregular past tense verbs. For example:
Regular past tense verb - I stayed at a hotel last year.
Irregular past tense verb - I began class yesterday.
The past tense of “be” - It was hot yesterday.
EASY ENGLISH USAGE POINT for EPISODE #3
The second thing I would like to focus on in today’s interview is the use of tag questions. Tag questions are short questions we add to the end of statements to make a question easily. The general rule is that if a statement is positive, the tag question is negative. If the statement is negative, the tag question is positive. For example:
It’s cold today, isn’t it?
or
It’s not very hot today, is it?
I think this is the easiest way to make questions in English.
So now, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interview with Saran.
