Use the present perfect simple, NOT the past simple, when you want to talk about things that have happened. look: 

   Monica has caught hundreds of fish.

   (In her life, Monica has caught hundreds of fish. It is not important when he caught the fish.)

Use the past simple, not the present perfect simple, to talk about things that are finished.

   Monica caught a fish this morning.

   (This is a fact about the past. It´s finished but you know when it happened.)

Present perfect simple

This is the present perfect simple:

   I have caught hundreds of fish 

   He has not caught any fish

   Have you ever caught a fish?

This is the past simple

   I caught a fish yesterday.

   He did not catch any fish last week

   Did he catch a fish?

Present perfect simple - Past simple

There is one verb that behaves badly! It is got two past participles.

Be careful when you use it in the present perfect simple.

   Base verb     Past simple     Past participle 

   Go                Went             Gone or Been

Look at the difference

  Monica has gone fishing. = Monica is not here now, he is out fishing 

  Monica has been fishing  = Monica went out fishing, but he is back now

It was terrible!. I was reading a poem ar school when the hurricane hit my house.

Past simple

The past simple is to talk about yourself, other people, animals, or things before now. it is for things that are finished.

   There was a big storm yesterday.

   People did not like going out in it.

   Did the storm start in the morning? 

Past continuo

The past continuous is to say that somebody was in the middle of doing something. it is for a time before now, EJ at six o´clock yesterday, at three o´clock last night. on Saturday last week.

   I was talking to Leonel at sic o´clock yesterday.

   He was not working very hard last weekend.

   Were they visiting friends last Monday?

Past simple and Past continuo

Often when you are in the middle of doing something, another thing, happens. Look at which action starts first:

First action                                              Second action

Past continuo                                             Past simple

Andres was reading a poem when...         the hurricane hit the town

Monica was making a potion when...         the chimney fell off the house       

Use the past continuo for things you were in the middle of doing (First action)

Use the past simple when another thing happens (second action)

   First action: Past continuo                        Second action: Past simple

Andres was watching TV when...                He heard a loud crash 

Monica was talking to a patient when...       The course came in.

Things to do when you are bored or  fed up

Go to a busy street. Imagine you are an elephant. Run down the pavement as fast as you can.

Say "tee, rinkle, crinkle, pinkle, tee" as loudly as possible without moving your lips. Do not worry - it does not mean anything.

find a friend. Pretend you are two tigers with a toothache. Try to do it really well. See if you can do it better than your friend.

and if none of these things cheers you up...   walk like a penguin all the way to school.

Remember!

Adverbs of manner tell you more about verbs. Making an adverb is easy: Adjective + ly

bad  --> badly        quick     --->     quickly

If the adjective ends in Y, change Y to I and add ly

noisy   --->   noisily       easy   --->   easily

Be careful! You should know these. If you do not, learn them now.

Good   --->  well       fast   --->   fast    hard   ---> hard

Be careful! Use an adjective, NOT an adverb,  after these verbs

be, look, feel, smell, taste

I am happy                        That smells good!

You look silly                    Chocolate taste nice

I sometimes feel sad               

You can make the comparative and superlative of most adverbs like this.

Add more and the most

Adverb       Comparative           Superlative

Quickly       more quickly           the most quickly

Slowly         more slowly            the most slowly

easily           more easily             the most easily

Be careful! These adverbs are different it is a good idea to learn them

He goes to bed later than me.

I sing worse than he does

Anything you can do I can do better

Of all my friends. I eat the least

Sometimes you want to say that there is not a difference between the people, animals, and things that you are talking about. They are the same.

You can use as ..... as to do this. Look!

   He runs as fast as me. = We both run equally fast

   You get up as early as I do = We both get up at the same time

You can also use not as ..... as to say that there is a difference Look:

      She does not cook as well as I do. = We both get up at the same time

      I can not do maths as quickly as he can. = He is quicker at maths than me.
