ما يطلبه منك البرنامج

  • Simple Past for completed past actions/events
  • 'ago' with a time expression to locate a past event

الطريقة

  1. Anchor the narrative on a timeline; time markers (in 3000 BC, 500 years ago) cue the tense

الأخطاء الشائعة

  • Wrong word order with 'ago' (ago 3 years instead of 3 years ago)
  • Using Simple Past where a habitual past (used to) is required
