"Mom, this morning I ____________ (use) the blender when it ____________ (stop) working."
Teacher: Sure, I can help you with that. Let's analyze the sentence. The first verb is "use," and we need to find the past continuous form of it. The base form of "use" is "use." To change it into the past continuous form, we add "was" before the base form and add "-ing" at the end. So, "use" becomes "was using." Now the first part of the sentence becomes, "Mom, this morning I was using the blender when..."
Student: Thank you, Teacher. So, the second verb is "stop," right?
Teacher: Yes, exactly! Now let's find the past simple form of the verb "stop." The base form of "stop" is "stop." We don't need to make any changes to the base form because it is already in the past simple form. So, "stop" remains "stop." Now the second part of the sentence becomes, "... when it stopped working."
Student: Got it, Teacher. So, the complete sentence is, "Mom, this morning I was using the blender when it stopped working."
Teacher: Perfect! You've got it! Now let's move on to the next part of the dialogue.
Student: Great, Teacher. So, Olga was here and they were doing something with the blender, right?
Teacher: Yes, exactly! Olga and someone else were involved in the action. So, in this case, we use the past continuous form of the verb "put," which is "were putting." Now the next part of the sentence becomes, "Olga was here, we were putting strawberries into the blender when..."
Student: Thank you, Teacher. So, the last part involves dad coming in and the blender mixing yogurt?
Teacher: Yes, you're following along perfectly. Let's find the correct past simple forms of the verbs involved. The base form of "come" is "come." To change it into the past simple form, we add "came." So, "come" becomes "came." Now the next part of the sentence becomes, "... when dad came in."
Student: Alright, Teacher. Now what about the verbs "mix" and "turn off"?
Teacher: Great question! To accurately complete the sentence, we need to find the past simple forms for both verbs. The base form of "mix" is "mix." It remains the same in the past simple form. So, "mix" stays as "mix." Now the sentence becomes, "...the blender mixed yogurt when..."
Student: Thank you, Teacher. So, what about "turn off"?
Teacher: Here, the base form of "turn off" is "turn off." To change it into the past simple form, add "turned." So, "turn off" becomes "turned off." Now the last part of the sentence becomes, "...when suddenly it turned off."
Student: I think I understand now, Teacher. So, the complete sentence is, "Mom, this morning I was using the blender when it stopped working. Olga was here, we were putting strawberries into the blender when dad came in. The blender mixed yogurt when suddenly it turned off."
Teacher: Excellent work! You've done a great job completing the dialogue using the past continuous and past simple forms of the verbs. Well done, keep up the good work!
