What did you do yesterday? 昨日何をしましたか?

起きたことを話す:過去時制。語彙:yesterday, last night, last week, ago, go (went), eat (ate), see (saw), have (had), buy (bought), watch (watched), visit (visited)。重要文法:終わった動作には過去時制。規則動詞は「-ed」を足す:watch → watched, visit → visited, cook → cooked。だが多くの一般動詞は不規則で一つずつ覚える:go → went, eat → ate, see → saw, have → had, buy → bought, make → made, come → came。yesterday, last week, 「ago」とともに使う:「I watched a film last night.」韓国語はすべての動詞に同じ規則語尾を付けて過去を作るので、韓国語話者は不規則動詞にも「-ed」を付ける:「Yesterday I goed home and eated dinner」✗ →「went」「ate」✓。発音コーナー:「-ed」の三つの音(walked, played, wanted)。

goed or went? — goed それとも went?

  1. Emma Minsu, what did you do yesterday? ミンス、昨日何をしましたか?
  2. Minsu I goed home early and eated dinner with my family. 私は早く家に goed、家族と夕食を eated。(間違い: go と eat は不規則動詞 — 過去形は「went」「ate」で「-ed」を付けない)
  3. Emma Those verbs are irregular: go → went, eat → ate. No "-ed". それらの動詞は不規則:go → went、eat → ate。「-ed」なし。
  4. Minsu Ah, I went home early and ate dinner with my family. あ、私は早く家に帰って家族と夕食を食べました。
  5. Emma Perfect! Regular verbs are easy — "watched", "visited" — but irregulars need practice. 完璧!規則動詞は簡単 —「watched」「visited」— でも不規則は練習が要る。
  6. Minsu I'll learn them! Yesterday I saw you, and I had a great day. 覚えます!昨日あなたに会って、素晴らしい一日でした。

Emma's weekend — エマの週末

  1. Minsu Emma, what did you do last weekend? エマ、先週末は何をしましたか?
  2. Emma On Saturday I visited my sister and we cooked lunch together. 土曜に姉を訪ねて、一緒に昼食を作りました。
  3. Minsu That sounds nice. Did you go out in the evening? いいですね。夜は出かけましたか?
  4. Emma Yes, we saw a film and had dinner in town. I didn't get home until midnight! はい、映画を見て街で夕食を食べました。夜中まで帰れませんでした!
  5. Minsu Wow, a busy weekend! Last week I just studied and slept. わあ、忙しい週末!私は先週ただ勉強して寝ました。
  6. Emma Rest is important too! Next weekend, come with us. 休むのも大事です!来週末は一緒に来て。

The past simple: -ed and irregular verbs 過去時制:-ed と不規則動詞

To talk about a finished action in the past, use the past simple. Most verbs are regular: just add "-ed" — watch → watched, visit → visited, cook → cooked, play → played. (Spelling: like → liked; study → studied.) But many of the most common verbs are IRREGULAR — each has its own past form you must memorise: go → went, eat → ate, see → saw, have → had, buy → bought, make → made, come → came, get → got, take → took. Use the past with time words like yesterday, last night, last week, and "two days ago": "I saw a film last night." To ask or say no, use "did / didn't" with the plain verb: "Did you go?" "I didn't go." Korean makes the past with one regular ending on every verb, so learners add "-ed" to irregular verbs too: "I goed home and eated dinner" ✗ → "I went home and ate dinner" ✓.

過去に終わった動作を話すには過去時制を使う。多くの動詞は規則的:「-ed」を足すだけ — watch → watched, visit → visited, cook → cooked, play → played。(つづり:like → liked; study → studied。)だが最も一般的な動詞の多くは不規則 — それぞれ覚えるべき過去形がある:go → went, eat → ate, see → saw, have → had, buy → bought, make → made, come → came, get → got, take → took。過去は yesterday, last night, last week,「two days ago」などの時間語とともに使う:「I saw a film last night.」尋ねる・否定するには「did / didn't」+ 動詞の原形:「Did you go?」「I didn't go.」韓国語はすべての動詞に同じ規則語尾で過去を作るので、学習者は不規則動詞にも「-ed」を付ける:「I goed home and eated dinner」✗ →「I went home and ate dinner」✓。

  • Yesterday I watched a film and cooked dinner. 昨日、私は映画を見て夕食を作りました。
  • Last week we went to London and saw a show. 先週私たちはロンドンに行ってショーを見ました。
  • I bought bread and had a coffee this morning. 今朝、私はパンを買ってコーヒーを飲みました。
  • Did you visit your family last weekend? — Yes, I did. 先週末は家族を訪ねましたか? — はい、訪ねました。
