Past Simple and Possession Rules Walkthrough

Section role: This presentation supports 'The Past Simple & Possession Playbook' section, displayed while the teacher formalizes grammar rules and addresses common mistakes found during the previous 'El Museo del Deporte Challenge'. Slide outline: (1) Title: 'Retro Sports Grammar: The Past Simple & Possession Playbook'. (2) Introduction: 'What did we discover in the museum?'. Bullets: Review common actions of athletes; Discuss items athletes possessed. (3) Past Simple: Affirmative. Bullets: Structure 'Subject + Past Verb'; Examples with regular verbs (-ed); Examples with common irregular verbs (e.g., 'win' -> 'won', 'go' -> 'went'). (4) Past Simple: Interrogative. Bullets: Structure 'Did + Subject + Base Verb'; Highlight common error 'Did he won?' vs. 'Did he win?'; Examples: 'Did she train daily?', 'Did he achieve the victory?'. (5) Saxon Genitive: Possession. Bullets: Structure 'Athlete's name + 's + Object'; Examples: 'Maradona's ball', 'Serena Williams's racket'. (6) Putting it together: 'Whose medal was made of gold?'.
