Some ideas for St. Valentine's Day

The Story of St. Valentine

The Roman Emperor Claudius II was fighting many wars. He wanted a
strong army, but many men did not want to be soldiers. Claudius 

thought the men wanted to stay home to be with their wives and 

children instead of leaving to fight wars.

Claudius thought of an awful solution to his problem. He decided 

to cancel all marriages! No one in all of Rome could get married. 

Claudius thought that if the men couldn’t get married, the men 

would ignore the women and want to be soldiers.

Valentine, who was a priest, believed that people needed to get

 married. He thought that if they were not married, they would 

be tempted to sin by living together without being married. 

So he secretly and illegally marriedcouples anyway! He performed 

the weddings in secret places, so the Roman soldiers would not 

find out.But they did find out. Valentine was arrested and brought

before the Emperor. 

The Emperor thought Valentine was a well  spoken and wise young 

man, and encouraged him to stop being  a Christian and become

a loyal Roman. Valentine would not deny  his beliefs, and he 

refused. He was sent to prison until he could be executed. 

While he was in prison, he sent out letters to his friends  and 

asked to be prayed for by writing Remember your Valentine.
Valentine was killed on the 14th or the 24th of February in the 

year 269 or 270. We celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th 

in honor of St. Valentine.

Although it is not known whether this legend is factually true, it 

is a good story anyway. It is nice to think of someone who believed 

in marriage and was willing to risk death to do what he believed 

was right.

St. Valentine´s cards

These Heart in Hand Valentine cards are very easy to make - even young children can make them (with a little help in cutting out the paper).

Supplies needed:

Pieces of construction paper or gift wrap (at least 2 different colors) A pencil and a marker Scissors Glue Optional: A printer (if you want to use the heart templates)

Trace your handprint on construction paper.

Carefully cut it out.

Cut out some red, pink or purple hearts - they should be a little bigger than the lollipops you have. Using green construction paper, cut out some leaves.

If you'd like, use a heart template page and print it out to help you draw hearts. Pick the right size that fits inside your handprint.

Glue a heart onto your handprint cutout.

Write a message to your Valentine. 

If you like, have the hand show the American Sign Language sign for "I love you," which has the only the ring finger and the middle finger folded and glued down.
You now have nice Valentine card for a friend.

Simple Past

Simple Past

El tiempo Pasado Simple se usa para hablar de acciones terminadas en el pasado. Como hacen referencia a acciones que ya ocurrieron, siempre deben ir en un contexto pasado, ya sea porque se está contando una historia que ya pasó, o bien usando complementos de tiempo pasado, como:

yesterday	ayer
last night	anoche
last week	la semana pasada
last month	el mes pasado
last year	el año pasado
in 1970	en 1970

Comenzaremos con la conjugación del verbo to be. Para la primera y tercera persona es was, para todas las demás es were.

Lee e intenta recordar la conjugación del verbo to be en pasado.

TO BE
I	was
You	were
He	was
She	was
It	was
We	were
You	were
They	were

I had breakfast at 8 o'clock.Tomé el desayuno a las 8 en punto.

Sarah and Tom had a meeting yesterday.Sarah y Tom tuvieron una reunión ayer.

Para usar otros verbos en este tiempo, se usa la forma del verbo en pasado simple, que es igual para todas las personas. La formación del pasado simple depende si el verbo es regular o irregular.

Verbos regulares
En el caso de los verbos regulares, el pasado simple se forma tomando el propio verbo y agregando "ed", o "d" si termina en vocal. Si termina en "y", se cambia por "ied".

We played tennis for two hours.Jugamos tenis por dos horas.


He arrived late.Llegó tarde.


You studied a lot.Estudiaste mucho.

Verbos irregularesLos verbos irregulares tienen su propia forma del pasado simple y la única manera de aprenderlos es memorizarlos. Normalmente son los que aparecen en la segunda columna de los listados de verbos irregulares en los diccionarios y libros de inglés.

Por ejemplo, el pasado del verbo to go (ir) es "went". El pasado de to see (ver) es "saw". El pasado de to take (tomar) es "took".

La forma del pasado es siempre igual para todas las personas.

We saw the double-decker buses.Vimos los autobuses de dos pisos.

We took a double-decker bus to the city centre.Tomamos un autobus de dos pisos hasta el centro de la ciudad.

Did	You	go ?
Did	He	go ?
Did	She	go ?
Did	It	go ?

Why did you go to London?¿Por qué fuiste a Londres?

La forma negativa se compone de la persona, seguido del auxiliar DID, seguido de NOT y el verbo en infinitivo. En lenguaje informal, puede usarse la forma contracta didn't.
