C. THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
1. Thì quá khứ đơn với động từ "to be"
Động từ “to be” ở thì quá khứ đơn có hai dạng là “was” và “were”.
a. Khẳng định: S + was/ were
Trong đó:
S (subject): chủ ngữ
CHÚ Ý:
S = I/ He/ She/ It (số ít) + was
S = We/ You/ They (số nhiều) + were
Ví dụ:
- I was at my friend’s house yesterday morning. (Tôi đã ở nhà bạn tôi sang hôm qua.)
- They were in London on their summer holiday last year. (Họ ở Ln Đơn vào kỳ nghỉ hè
năm ngối.)
b. Phủ định: S + was/were + not
Đối với câu phủ định ta chỉ cần thêm “not” vào sau động từ “to be”.
CHÚ Ý:
- was not = wasn’t
- were not = weren’t
Ví dụ:
- She wasn’t very happy last night because of having lost money. (Tối qua cơ ấy khơng vui
vì mất tiền.)
- We weren’t at home yesterday. (Hôm qua chúng tôi không ở nhà.)
c. Câu hỏi: Were/ Was + S ?
Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it + was. – No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn’t.
Yes, we/ you/ they + were. – No, we/ you/ they + weren’t.
Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo động từ “to be” lên trước chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ:
- Was she tired of hearing her customer’s complaint yesterday? (Cô ấy có bị mệt vì nghe
khách hàng phàn nàn ngày hơm qua khơng?)
Yes, she was./ No, she wasn’t. (Có, cơ ấy có./ Khơng, cơ ấy khơng.)
- Were they at work yesterday? (Hơm qua họ có làm việc khơng?)
Yes, they were./ No, they weren’t. (Có, họ có./ Khơng, họ khơng.)
2. Cơng thức thi quá khứ đơn với động từ thường
a. Khẳng định: S + V-ed
Trong đó:
S: Chủ ngữ
V-ed: Động từ chia thì quá khứ đơn (theo qui tắc hoặc bất qui tắc)
Ví dụ:
- We studied English last night. (Tối qua chúng tôi đã học tiếng Anh.)
- He met his old friend near his house yesterday. (Anh ấy đã gặp người bạn cũ của mình
ngay gần nhà ngày hơm qua.)
b. Phủ định: S + did not + V (nguyên thể)
Trong thì quá khứ đơn câu phủ định ta mượn trợ động từ “did + not” (viết tắt là “didn’t),
động từ theo sau ở dạng nguyên thể.)
Ví dụ:
- He didn’t come to school last week. (Tuần trước cậu ta không đến trường.)
- We didn’t see him at the cinema last night. (Chúng tôi không trông thấy anh ta tại rạp
chiếu phim tối hôm qua.)
c. Câu hỏi: Did + S + V(nguyên thể)?
Trong thì quá khứ đơn với câu hỏi ta mượn trợ động từ “did” đảo lên trước chủ ngữ, động
từ theo sau ở dạng nguyên thể.
Ví dụ:
- Did you visit Ho Chi Minh Museum with your class last weekend? (Bạn có đi thăm bảo
tàng Hồ Chí Minh với lớp của bạn cuối tuần trước hay không?)
Yes, I did./ No, I didn’t. (Có, mình có./ Khơng, mình khơng.)
- Did he miss the train yesterday? (Cậu ta có lỡ chuyến tàu ngày hôm qua hay không?)
Yes, he did./ No, he didn’t. (Có, cậu ta có./ Khơng, cậu ta khơng.)

Dùng để diễn tả một hành động đã xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ.
Ví dụ:
- They went to the concert last night. (Họ đã tới rạp hát tối hôm qua.)
4. Dấu hiệu nhận biết thì q khứ đơn:
Trong câu có các trạng từ chỉ thời gian trong quá khứ:
- yesterday (hôm qua)
- last night/ last week/ last month/ last year (tối qua/ tuần trước/ tháng trước/ năm ngoái)
- ago: cách đây (two hours ago: cách đây 2 giờ/ two weeks ago: cách đây 2 ngày …)
- when: khi (trong câu kể)
5. Cách chia động từ thì quá khứ đơn:
a. Ta thêm “-ed” vào sau động từ:
- Thông thường ta thêm “ed” vào sau động từ có quy tắc thơng thường.
- Ví dụ:
watch – watched
turn – turned
want – wanted
* Chú ý khi thêm đuôi “-ed” vào sau động từ.
+ Động từ tận cùng là “e” => ta chỉ cần cộng thêm “d”.
Ví dụ: type – typed, smile – smiled, agree – agreed,…
+ Động từ có MỘT âm tiết, tận cùng là MỘT phụ âm, trước phụ âm là MỘT nguyên âm
-> ta nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi thêm “-ed”.
Ví dụ: stop – stopped, shop – shopped, tap – tapped,…
+ Động từ tận cùng là “y”:
- Nếu trước “y” là MỘT nguyên âm (a,e,i,o,u) ta cộng thêm “ed”.
Ví dụ: play – played, stay – stayed,…
- Nếu trước “y” là phụ âm (còn lại ) ta đổi “y” thành “i + ed”.
Ví dụ: study – studied, cry – cried,…
b. Một số động từ bất quy tắc khơng thêm “ed”.
Có một số động từ khi sử dụng ở thì quá khứ không theo qui tắc thêm “ed”. Những động
từ này ta cần học thuộc.
Ví dụ: go – went, have – had, see – saw,…
D. CÂU MỆNH LỆNH
Câu mệnh lệnh hay còn gọi là câu cầu khiến mang tính chất sai khiến, yêu cầu hoặc ra
lệnh cho người khác. 1.

Ví dụ:
- Close the door . (Đóng cửa lại.)
- Please turn off the light. (Làm ơn, tắt đèn đi.)
- Open the window. (Mở cửa sổ ra.)
- Be quiet. (Hãy yên lặng.)
Ta có thể thấy những câu mệnh lệnh trên đều bắt đầu bằng một động từ nguyên thể (tức
giữ nguyên động từ đó) hoặc thêm từ please (mang nghĩa khẩn khoản hơn)
Ngoài ra nếu muốn nhấn mạnh hơn thì thêm Do trước động từ:
Ví dụ: Do eat quickly! (Ăn nhanh lên!)
2. Dạng thức phủ định của câu mệnh lệnh
Với dạng phủ định của câu mệnh lệnh, bạn chỉ cần thêm Don’t (do not) vào trước động từ.
Ví dụ:
- Don’t move! (Đứng im!)
- Don’t turn off the light when you go out. (Đừng tắt đèn khi bạn đi ra ngoài.)
- Don’t smoke here. (Đừng hút thuốc ở đây!)

VII. Read and answer these following questions.
Television viewing is a major activity and influence on children. Children in the
United States watch an average of three to four hours of television a day.
While television can entertain, inform, and keep our children company, it may also
influence them in undesirable ways. Time spent watching television takes away from
important activities such as reading, school work, playing, exercise, family interaction,
and social development. Children who watch a lot of television are likely to have lower
grades in school, read fewer books, exercise less, and be overweight.
Parents can help by doing the following:
♦ Don’t allow children to watch long blocks of TV.
♦ Help them choose suitable programmes. Children’s shows on public TV are
appropriate, but soap operas, adult sitcoms and adult talk shows are not.
♦ Set certain periods when the television will be off. Study times are for learning,
not for sitting in front of the TV doing homework.
Make TV viewing an active process for children and parents!

ROBOTS
A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It
is a machine that moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer.
Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never
complains. Unless you tell it to!
Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make things. For example, robots
can help make cars. Some robots are used to explore dangerous places. For example,
robots can help explore volcanoes. Some robots are used to clean things. These robots can
help vacuum your house. Some robots can even recognize words. They can be used to
help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like humans. But most robots do not. Most
robots just look like machines.
Long ago, people imagined robots. But nobody was able to make a real robot. The gist
real robot was made in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It
looked like a giant arm.
In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things that we can’t do. Or
they will do things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things that are too dangerous
for us. They will help make life better.
31. As used in paragraph 1, we can understand that something special is NOT ________.
