 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

Vincent Van Gogh was born in Brabandt in the

Netherlands in 1853. As a young man he worked
as an art dealer in London and Paris. He was fired
from this job because he had argued with
customers about art.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

In l881 he tried to commit suicide. He was depressed

because he had fallen in love with his cousin, but she
had rejected him.
In l886 he went to Paris to study art, and it was while
he was studying that he met Degas, Monet and
Renoir.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

After two years in Paris, Van Gogh went to live in

Arles in the south of France. His friend and
fellow painter, Gauguin, who he had met in Paris,
came to join him. The two men settled down in
Arles, but there was a lot of tension between
them. They used to quarrel fiercely, mainly about
the nature of art.

OWN LIFETIME

One evening in December l888, Van Gogh left

the house carrying a razor blade. He’d been
arguing Gauguin again and was very distressed.
He cut off part of his ear.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

After this, he moved voluntarily into an asylum

for the insane at St-Rémy-Provence. He used to
wake up at six in the morning and go out to
paint. It was here, in the last two years of his life,
that many of his most famous paintings were
completed. These included Starry Night, Irises, and
Self Portrait Without a Beard.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

In 1890 he left the warm south and moved to

Auvers-sur-Oise. Here he continued working despite
his growing depression. It was while he was painting
outside that Vincent shot himself in the chest. Two
days later, he died. He was buried in the cemetery in
Auvers.
 VINCENT VAN GOGH,
THE GENIUS UNRECOGNIZED IN HIS OWN LIFETIME

When Van Gogh died, he had no money because

he'd only sold one of his paintings, The Red
Vineyard, in his entire life. His sister -in-law took his
collection to Holland, where his work was
published. He was instantly recognized as a genius .
 GRAMMAR SPOT

 GRAMMAR SPOT

Do you think this happened once or many times?
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN GIẢN
(THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

Thì Quá khứ đơn giản (the simple past tense) diễn
tả một hành động hoặc thói quen đã xảy ra trong
quá khứ tại thời điểm nhất định và đã kết thúc
trong quá khứ.
Từ nhận biết: yesterday, yesterday morning, last
week, last month, last year, last night.
When + thì quá khứ đơn (simple past)
When + hành động thứ nhất
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN GIẢN
(THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

Trong đó động từ ở quá khứ (past form of verb)

bao gồm 2 loại: động từ to be và động từ
thường.
Động từ to be gồm: Subject + to be
 I/He/She/It + Was
 You/ We/They + Were
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN GIẢN
(THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

Ví dụ:
I was disappointed to know my score. - Tôi đã rất
thất vọng khi biết được điểm của mình.
They were happy to see me. - Họ đã rất vui khi
gặp tôi.
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
(THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

Động từ thường được chia làm 2 loại: có quy tắc và

bất quy tắc.
Động từ có quy tắc là các động từ có thể thêm
đuôi “ed” vào sau.
play – played want – wanted
Động từ bất quy tắc là các từ không tuân theo quy
tắc thêm “ed” vào cuối để chuyển nó về dạng động
từ này
do – did go – went speak – spoke
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
(THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

Lưu ý về cách thêm “ed” cho động từ có quy tắc:

Động từ tận cùng bằng e và có 1 phụ âm đứng trước
e, ta chỉ cần thêm d:
date – dated live - lived
Động từ kết thúc bằng “y” mà ngay trước ký tự “y” à
một nguyên âm thì đuôi “y” không cần chuyển thành “i”
rồi mới thêm “ed”. Còn với các động từ kết thúc bởi “y”
mà ngay trước nó là một phụ âm thì cần chuyển “y” sang
“i” rồi thêm “ed”:
stay – stayed study – studied
Động từ tận cùng bằng 1 nguyên âm + 1 phụ âm ngoài
w và y ta viết phụ âm cuối đó thêm 1 lần nữa rồi mới
thêm ed:
stop – stopped commit - committed
 THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN
(PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE)

Thì Quá Khứ Tiếp Diễn (Past Continuous Tense)

diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra cùng lúc. Nhưng hành
động thứ nhất đã xảy ra sớm hơn và đã đang tiếp tục
xảy ra thì hành động thứ hai xảy ra.
Từ nhận biết: While, at that very moment, at 10:00
last night, and this morning (afternoon).
Subject + was/were + verb-ing + Object
While + thì quá khứ tiếp diễn (past progressive)
 QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
VÀ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN

Quá khứ đơn và Quá khứ tiếp diễn là hai thì cơ

bản nhưng rất quan trọng để hình thành nên những
câu nói đơn giản cũng như hữu ích trong quá trình
đọc hiểu.
Việc nắm chắc hai thì này sẽ giúp các bạn dễ dàng
hiểu rõ những bài viết đơn giản, đặc biệt là thì Quá
khứ đơn.
 QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
VÀ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN

Để học tốt thì Quá khứ đơn, các bạn phải nắm chắc
bảng động từ bất quy tắc cơ bản cũng như cách
thêm đuôi “ing” vào động từ trong thì Quá khứ tiếp
diễn.

Sau đây là một số so sánh sự khác nhau của 2 thì. Bên

cạnh đó, tôi lưu ý các bạn cần chú ý phần Signal
Words-một phần rất quan trọng giúp nhận biết dấu
hiệu ra đề về 2 thì nay trong đề thi TOEIC.

 QUÁ KHỨ HOÀN THÀNH
(PAST PERFECT TENSE)

Thì Quá khứ hoàn thành diễn tả 1 hành động đã

xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ trước 1 hành động
khác cũng xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ.
Từ nhận biết: after, before, as soon as, by the time,

 QUÁ KHỨ HOÀN THÀNH
(PAST PERFECT TENSE)

Khi nào chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ hoàn thành?

Khi chúng ta nói về quá khứ chúng ta dùng thì quá khứ
thường:

Khi chúng ta nói về điều gì đó xảy ra trước thời điểm này,

chúng ta dùng thì Quá khứ hoàn thành:

Quá khứ hoàn thành có liên quan tới thời điểm trong quá
khứ mà đã hoàn thành xong.

Before I got married, I had never been to Canada.

Hãy chú ý những trạng từ hay đi với thì hoàn thành (never,
always, just, only, etc.) thường đứng giữa had và động từ
phân từ II.
