Asking about medication

I am a patient. I need to tell you about the medication I took last week. You need to find out more information.

Make sure to ask all questions using the Past Simple.

  1. Ask me how many pills I had when I started the treatment.
  2. Find out how many pills I took last week.
  3. Ask me if I took the pills every day.
  4. Ask me when I ran out out of medication.

Language Focus: the Past Simple

The past simple tense describes actions or states that started and finished at a specific time in the past, used for completed events, sequences of past actions, or past habits/situations, often with time markers like ‘yesterday’ or ‘last week’. It is formed with regular verbs by adding ‘-ed’ (walked) or with irregular verbs changing form (went, ate), and negatives use ‘didn’t’ + base verb (didn’t walk).
