Kuralı ezberleme; örneklerden kendin keşfet.
How is the verb formed? What helping verb do we use, and what ending goes on the main verb?
Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.
Well done! You found the rule yourself. Now let's use it.
Use the cues to write true sentences about the camping trip. Look at the example first.
✓ We were hiking along the trail at 7 a.m.
The birds were singing when the sun rose.
It wasn't raining when we set up camp.
Were you camping near the river last weekend?
Mert and Elif were cooking dinner over the campfire.
We weren't sleeping when the storm started.
Write about an outdoor activity you remember. Say what you were doing at a certain time, and one thing you weren't doing.
We use the Past Progressive (was/were + verb-ing) to talk about an action that was in progress at a specific moment in the past. It shows what was happening 'at that time'.
TRPast Progressive (was/were + fiil-ing), geçmişte belirli bir anda devam eden bir eylemi anlatmak için kullanılır. Genellikle 'o sırada' ya da 'o anda' ne olduğunu göstermek için kullanılır.
We use it to describe what was happening in nature at a certain moment, for example what we were doing when the storm started.
TRDoğada belirli bir anda ne yaptığımızı anlatırken (örneğin, fırtına başladığında ne yapıyorduk) kullanılır.
Always add -ing to the verb in the Past Progressive.
TRPast Progressive'de fiile mutlaka -ing eklenir.
Use the -ing form after was/were, not the base verb.
TRwas/were'den sonra fiilin -ing hali gelir, yalın hali değil.
Which action was already in progress (longer)? Which action interrupted it (shorter, sudden)?
Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.
Well done! You found the rule yourself. Now let's use it.
Combine the two actions into one sentence with when or while. Look at the example first.
✓ We were walking along the trail when we saw a deer.
The rain started while we were setting up the tent.
I was reading my compass when my friend called me.
Lightning struck a tree while we were hiding under the rocks.
We were crossing the river when the storm began.
Write two sentences about something that happened while you were doing an outdoor activity. Use when or while.
When one action was in progress and a second, shorter action interrupted it, we use the Past Progressive for the longer action and the Simple Past for the shorter one. 'When' usually goes before the shorter action, and 'while' before the longer one.
TRBir eylem geçmişte devam ederken başka bir eylem onu kesintiye uğratırsa, uzun süren eylem için Past Progressive, kısa/ani eylem için Simple Past kullanılır. 'When' genellikle kısa eylemden önce, 'while' ise uzun eylemden önce gelir.
We use it to say that something suddenly happened while we were doing an outdoor activity, for example seeing a deer while we were hiking.
TRDoğada bir aktivite sürerken aniden başka bir şeyin olduğunu anlatırken (örneğin yürüyüş yaparken bir geyik gördük) kullanılır.
The longer action needs the Past Progressive; the short, sudden action needs the Simple Past.
TRUzun eylem Past Progressive, kısa/ani eylem Simple Past olmalı.
Use the Simple Past for the sudden, short action, not the Past Progressive.
TRAni, kısa eylem için Simple Past kullanılır, Past Progressive değil.
Simple Past tek başına tamamlanmış, sıralı olayları anlatır (First we hiked, then we ate). Past Progressive + Simple Past birlikte kullanıldığında ise bir eylemin diğerini kesintiye uğrattığını gösterir (We were hiking when it started to rain).
How do we talk about a general ability in the past? How do we make it negative and ask questions?
Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.
Well done! You found the rule yourself. Now let's use it.
Use the cues to write true or example sentences about past abilities. Look at the example first.
✓ My grandfather could climb mountains easily when he was young.
We couldn't see the trail because of the heavy rain.
Could you swim across the river when you were a child?
The guide could find the cave in the dark.
We couldn't start a campfire because everything was wet.
Write two sentences about something you could or couldn't do outdoors when you were younger.
Could is used to talk about a general ability in the past (something we were able to do, for example as a child). The negative is couldn't, and the question is Could + subject + base verb.
TRCould, geçmişte genel bir yeteneği anlatmak için kullanılır (örneğin çocukken yapabildiğimiz şeyler). Olumsuzu couldn't, sorusu ise Could + özne + yalın fiil şeklindedir.
We use it to talk about general abilities in nature in the past, like being able to climb, swim, or find the way.
TRDoğada geçmişte yapabildiğimiz ya da yapamadığımız genel şeyleri anlatırken kullanılır: tırmanabilmek, yüzebilmek, yön bulabilmek gibi.
Don't use 'to' after could.
TRCould'dan sonra 'to' gelmez.
Use the base verb after could, not the past form.
TRCould'dan sonra fiilin yalın hali kullanılır.
Could genel bir yeteneği anlatır (I could swim when I was young). Belirli bir durumda tek seferlik bir başarıyı anlatmak için genellikle 'was/were able to' ya da 'managed to' tercih edilir (We were able to find shelter just in time).
How do we give advice or a recommendation? How do we say it's a bad idea?
Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.
Well done! You found the rule yourself. Now let's use it.
Give advice for each situation using should or shouldn't. Look at the example first.
✓ You should take a compass and a map on a hike.
You shouldn't hike alone in extreme weather.
Should we wear warm clothes for the trip?
Hikers should check the weather forecast before they leave.
You shouldn't swim during a storm.
Write three pieces of advice for someone going on a nature adventure. Use should and shouldn't.
Should is used to give advice or a recommendation — it does not express obligation. The negative, shouldn't, shows that something is not a good idea.
TRShould, bir tavsiye ya da öneri vermek için kullanılır; zorunluluk anlatmaz. Olumsuzu shouldn't, bir şeyin iyi bir fikir olmadığını, yapılmamasının önerildiğini gösterir.
We use it to give advice about nature trips and dangerous weather: what people should and shouldn't do.
TRDoğa gezileri ve tehlikeli hava koşulları için tavsiye verirken kullanılır: ne yapmalı, ne yapmamalı.
Don't use 'to' after should.
TRShould'dan sonra 'to' gelmez.
Negative advice uses shouldn't, and the verb stays in its base form.
TRTavsiye olumsuzu shouldn't ile yapılır ve fiil yalın haldedir.
Should tavsiye verir (bir fikir, zorunlu değil). Must/have to ise zorunluluk anlatır. 'You should take water' = tavsiye; 'You must wear a life jacket' = kural/zorunluluk.

Özgün metin ve anlama soruları.
Last month, my family and I went camping near Lake Abant. We packed our backpacks and drove to the campsite early on Saturday morning. When we arrived, we set up camp near a small forest, close to a clear river.
At sunrise on the first day, we were already awake and ready for a hike. We followed a long trail through the trees and saw a lot of wildlife, including deer and colourful birds. My little sister could name almost every bird we saw!
In the afternoon, we made a campfire and cooked simple food. While we were cooking, my dad told stories about his own camping trips when he was young. He said he could survive for days with just a small backpack and a compass.
At night, the sky was full of stars, and we couldn't hear any city noise at all — only the wind in the trees. We were sitting around the campfire when we suddenly heard an owl.
The next morning, before we left, we checked our tent for any damage and cleaned up the campsite. It was a simple weekend, but it taught me how much I love spending time in nature.

Two years ago, Kaan and his cousin Derin went on a hiking adventure on Uludağ. They were walking along a narrow trail near a cliff when the weather suddenly changed.
Dark clouds appeared quickly, and soon they heard thunder in the distance. 'We should find shelter now,' said Kaan, looking at the sky nervously. They couldn't see the trail clearly because of the heavy rain.
While they were looking for shelter, they found a small cave near a waterfall. They quickly went inside and waited for the storm to pass. Lightning struck a tree close to the cave, and they were both frightened.
Kaan remembered his father's advice: 'You should always carry a compass and extra water on a hike, and you shouldn't panic in a storm.' He used his compass to check their direction while they waited.
After almost an hour, the storm finally stopped. They were cold and wet, but they were safe. They walked back to the campsite carefully, using the compass to find the right path.
Kaan says this adventure taught him an important lesson: nature can be beautiful, but you should always be prepared for extreme weather.

AslıEge, look at those clouds! I think a storm is coming.
EgeYou're right. We should find shelter quickly.
AslıThere's a small cave near the waterfall. We were walking past it ten minutes ago.
EgeGood idea! Let's go — we shouldn't stay on this open trail during a storm.
EgePhew! Were you scared when the lightning struck that tree?
AslıA little. But my dad taught me what to do — he could always stay calm in extreme weather when he was a mountain guide.
EgeThat's useful. What should we do now?
AslıWe should wait here until the thunder stops, then walk back carefully with the compass.
DenizSo, for our weekend adventure, what should we do — hike to the waterfall or explore the cave?
MiraI think we should explore the cave. I could never go inside a cave before, so it would be exciting.
DenizGood idea! But we should take a compass and torches, just in case.
MiraDefinitely. My brother went caving last year, and he said you shouldn't go without a map.
DenizOK, I'll check the weather forecast tonight — we shouldn't go if there's a storm coming.
MiraGood thinking. And we should set up camp near the cave the night before.
DenizPerfect. I could ask my cousin to join us too — he's really good with a compass.
MiraGreat! Let's meet at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
