Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zaman (-dili)

Geçmişte yaşanmış ve şu an sona ermiş olayları anlatmak için kullanılan zaman kalıbıdır. Türkçe’de fiile –di eki getirilerek yapıldığı için di’li geçmiş zaman olarak da adlandırılır. İngilizce de farklı türde past (geçmiş) zamanlar vardır. Simple Past (basit geçmiş) zaman temel geçmiş zaman kalıbıdır. Bu zamanda Fiilin ikinci hali kullanılır. İngilizce de fiiller düzenli (regular) ve düzensiz (irregular) fiiller olarak ikiye ayrılır. Düzenli fiillerin ikinci hali temel fiile –ed eki getirilerek yapılır fakat düzensiz fiillerde bu kural geçerli değildir. Düzensiz fillerin ikinci halinin öğrenilmesi gerekir.

Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zaman Genel Olumlu (positive) cümle yapısı:

Özne (subject) + Fiilin 2. hali (Verb 2) + (others)

We walked to the wood. Biz ormana yürüdük.
I talked there last week. Ben geçen hafta orada konuştum.
He told the true. O , doğruyu söyledi.
I met my uncle. Ben amcam ile görüştüm.
They put the flowers to vase. Onlar çiçekleri vazoya koydular.





Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zaman Genel Olumsuz(negative) cümle yapısı:

Olumsuz cümle yapısında fiilden önce did not getirilir. Fiil birinci hale dönüşür.

Did not yerine kısaltılmış hali didn’t kullanılabilir.

We did not walk to the wood. Biz ormana yürümedik.
I didn’t talk there last week. Ben geçen hafta orada konuşmadım.
He didn’t tell the true. O , doğruyu söylemedi.
I didn’t met my uncle. Ben amcam ile görüşmedim.
They did not put the flowers to vase. Onlar çiçekleri vazoya koymadılar.




Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zaman soru cümle yapısı

Soru cümlelerinde did yardımcı fiili cümle başına getirilir. Fiil ise birinci hale döner.

Did you write your name? Siz adınızı yazdınız mı?
Did he learn the questions? O soruları öğrendi mi?
Did they walk in the garden? Onlar bahçede yürüdü ler mi?




Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zaman olumsuz soru cümle yapısı

Did not you write your name? Siz adınızı yazdmadınız mı?

Simple Past Tense - Geçmiş Zamanın kullanıldığı yerler, kullanım şekiller, örnekler

1) Geçmişte yapılmış, bitmiş, tamamlanmış olayları ifade eder.

I bought these things. Ben , bu şeyleri satın aldım.
I caught those birds. Ben şunlar kuşları yakaladım.
I chose these fruits. Ben , bu meyvaları seçtim.





2) Geçmişte birbirini izleyen olayları hikaye etmede kullanılır

3) Geçmişte belli bir süre içerisinde devam etmiş olayları,eylemleri anlatmak için kullanılır

4) Geçmişteki alışkanlıkları ifade eder


PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

[WAS / WERE] + [VERB+ing]
Auxiliary verbs: was - were

EXAMPLES (ÖRNEKLER):

I was studying lesson.(Ders çalışıyordum.)

She was smoking when I saw her.(Onu gördüğümde sigara içiyordu.)

They were drinking tea when I arrived. (Ben vardığımda çay içiyorlardı.)

USE 1 Interrupted Action in the Past
(Geçmişte yarıda kesilen eylemler)
Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually an action in the Simple Past.

Past Continuous Tense geçmişte yarıda kesilen uzun olayları anlatmak için kullanılır. Daha uzun olan eylemi yarıda kesen eylem genelde Simple Past tense ile ifade edilir.


EXAMPLES:

I was watching TV when she called. (O aradığında televizyon seyrediyordum.)

When the phone rang, she was writing a letter. (Telefon çaldığında mektup yazıyordu.)

While we were having a picnic, it started to rain. (Piknik yaparken yağmur yağmaya başladı.)

Sally was working when Joe had the car accident. (Joe araba kazası geçirdiğinde Sally çalışıyordu.)

While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car. (Dün gece John uyurken birisi arabasını çaldı.)


USE 2 Specific Time as an Interruption
(Geçmişte belirli bir zamanda yapılan eylem)

In USE 1, described above, the Past Continuous is interrupted by an action in the Simple Past. However, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.

Birinci kullanımda geçmişte başka bir olayla kesilen eylemlerde Past Continuous Tense kullandığımızı söylemiştik. Bunun yanında geçmişte belirli bir anda yapılan eylemden bahsederken de Past Continuous Tense kullanılabilir.

EXAMPLES:

Last night at 6 p.m., I was eating dinner. (Dün gece saat 6'da yemek yiyordum.)

At midnight, we were still driving through the desert. (Geceyarısı hala çölde araç kullanıyorduk)

DİKKAT!

Simple Past Tense'de kullanılan zaman ifadeleri eylemin tam olarak başlama veya bitiş zamanını belirtir. Past Continuous Tense'de ise, belirtilen zaman eylemin başlangıcı veya bitişini değil, yalnızca o anda eylemin yapılmakta olduğunu belirtir.


EXAMPLES:

Last night at 6 p.m., I ate dinner. (Saat 6'da yemeye başladım.)

Last night at 6 p.m., I was eating dinner.(Yemek yemeye daha önce başladım ve saat 6'da yemek süreci devam ediyordu.)


USE 3 Parallel Actions
(Paralel eylemler)When you use the Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel. İki eylemi aynı anda Past Continuous Tense ile kullandığımızda, belirtilen iki eylemin aynı anda yapıldığı fikri ortaya çıkar. Yani eylemler paraleldir.

EXAMPLES:

I was studying while he was making dinner.
(O yemeği hazırlarken ben ders çalışıyordum)

While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.
(Ellen kitap okurken Tim televizyon seyrediyordu.)

They were eating dinner, discussing their plans and having a good time.
(Yemek yiyor, planları hakkında tartışıyor ve iyi vakit geçiriyorlardı.)

USE 4 Atmosphere
(Atmosfer) In English we often use a series of Parallel Actions to describe atmosphere in the past.

(İngilizce'de genelde geçmişteki bir havayı (atmosferi) tasvir etmek için bir dizi eylemi arka arkaya kullanırız.

EXAMPLE:

When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad service.
Ofise geldiğimde birkaç insan meşgul bir şekilde daktilo kullanıyor, bazıları telefonda konuşuyor, patron emirler yağdırıyor ve müşteriler yardım için bekliyorlardı. Müşterinin biri sekretere bağırıyor ve ellerini sallıyordu. Diğerleri birbirlerine kötü hizmetten yakınıyorlardı.

TIME EXPRESSIONS PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

Time expressions zaman belirten ifadelerdir ve İngilizce'de her zaman için farklı ifadeler kullanılır. Özellikle sınavlarda cümlenin hangi tense olduğunu anlamak için time expression'ların bilinmesi çok önemlidir.

while = as

I saw him while he was driving. (Onu araba sürerken gördüm.)
They helped me as I was carrying some heavy bags. (Bazı ağır çantaları taşırken bana yardım ettiler.)

PAST PERFECT TENSE
Past Perfect Tense Türkçe'de "miş"li geçmiş zamanın karşılığı olarak kullanılabilir. Geçmişte olan iki olaydan, daha önce olanını ifade ederken bu tense'i kullanırız.

FORM Past Perfect

[HAD] + [PAST PARTICIPLE]

Examples:

I had studied a little English when I came to the U.S.
(İngiltere'ye geldiğimde biraz İngilizce çalışmıştım.)

They had never met an American until they met John.
(Onlar John'la tanışıncaya kadar hiç bir Amerikalıyla tanışmamışlardı.)

USE 1 Geçmişte başka bir şeyden önce tamamlanan eylem

The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.

(Past Perfect tense geçmişte bir eylemin, başka bir eylemden önce tamamlanmış olduğunu ifade eder. Aynı zamanda geçmişte yaşanan bir eylemin belirli bir zamandan önce olduğunu söylemek için de kullanılır.)

EXAMPLES:

I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
(Kauai'ye gitmeden önce böyle güzel bir film seyretmemiştim.)

Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 1992?
(1992 yılındaki seyahatinden önce hiç Amerika'ya gitmiş miydin?)

Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before in 1988.
(Evet, 1998'den önce Amerika'da bulunmuştum.)


USE 2 Geçmişteki belirli bir şey veya zamandan önceki süreç

EXAMPLES:

We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
(Bu araba bozulmadan önce on yıl bizimdi.)

By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.
(Alex çalışmalarını bitirdiğinde sekiz yıldan fazla zamandır Londra'da bulunmaktaydı.)


İngilizce'de "Past Perfect Tense" geçmişte belirli bir tarihten daha önce yapılmış olan olayları anlatır. The Past Perfect Tense geçmişte belli bir zamandan önce olan olayları anlattığı için, genellikle The Simple Past Tense bir cümle ile bağlı olarak kullanılır. Bir iş, geçmişte belirli bir olaydan önce yapılmışsa, fakat belirli bir tarihi yoksa bu işi, The Past Perfect Tense ile anlatılır.

I had left Antalya before Ayşe arrived in Antalya.
Ayşe Antalya’ya varmadan önce ben Antalya’dan ayrılmıştım.

Ayşe’nin Antalya’ya gelmesi geçmişte belirli bir tarihte olmuştur. Bu sebepten The Simple Past Tense bir cümle ile anlatılır. Benim Antalya’dan ayrılış tarihim ise önemli değil. Önemli olan Ayşe gelmeden önce olmasıdır. Bu yüzden The Past Perfect Tense bir cümle ile anlatılır ve bu iki cümle before bağlacı ile birbirine bağlanır.

I had eaten the apples before you came in.
Sen içeri girmeden önce ben elmaları yemiştim.

We had prepared their rooms before they came.
Onların odalarını, onlar gelmeden önce hazırlamıştık.

Had you finished your homework before you went out?
Dışarı çıkmadan önce ev ödevlerini bitirmiş miydin?

She had washed the dishes before her mother came home.
Annesi eve gelmeden önce o, tabakları yıkamıştı.

Ayşe went to post office after she had written the letter.
Ayşe mektubu yazdıktan sonra postaneye gitti.

1.3 Using Simple Future Tense: Will vs. Be Going To

İngilizce’nin basit gelecek zaman( Simple FutureTense) anlatımlarında “will” ve “ be going to olmak üzere iki farklı yapı vardır. Bu yapılar bazen biribirlerini yerine kullanılabilmelerine rağmen, çoğu zaman oldukça farklı anlamlar da verebilirler. Bu anlam farklılıkları önceleri çok soyut ve anlaşılmaz gibi gözükseler de,zaman içinde yapılacak çalışmalar ile bu ayrım oldukça basit gelir. "will" and "be going to" yapılarının her ikisi de gelecekte belirli bir zamanı gösterirler.

a) Using “will” to express a voluntary action / willingness

Kişilerin bir eylemi başkası için gönüllü olarak, kendi istekleri ile yapmaları, bir yardım isteğine ya da ihtiyacına karşılık vermeleri üzerine olan durumlar “will” ile ifade edilir. Bu amlamda “be going to” yapısı kullanılmaz. Aşağıdaki cümlelerdeki eylemler planlanmış gelecek zaman eylemleri değillerdir.

A: I'm really hungry.
B: I'll make some sandwiches.

A: These bags are so heavy!
B: I'll help you.

A: The phone is ringing.
B: I'll get it.

b) Using “will” in promises.

Söz verirken, “ will” kullanılır.

• Don’t worry! I will call you as soon as I arrive at the airport.
• Thank you for lending me the money. I will pay it back on Friday. I promise!
• I promise I will not tell him about the surprise birthday party.


c) Using “be going to” to express an future plan.

“ be going to “ ile lurulan gelecek zaman cümlelerinde birinin gelecekte belirli bir zamanda bir eylemi gerçekleştirmeye niyeti olduğu ya da bunu planladığı ifade edilir. Başka bir deyişle gelecekte yapmaya daha once karar verdiğimiz ,planlanmış eylemlerden bahsederken “ be going to” yapısı kullanılır.

• I am tired of taking the bus to work. I am going to buy a car as soon as possible.
• I bought some paint this morning. I am going to paint the garage tomorrow.
• I am going to start making dinner before my wife gets home from work today.
• We are going to wait here until Jessica comes.
• When they get to the hotel, they are going to jump into the swimming pool.


d) Using “be going to” and “will” to express predictions

Gelecekte olacağını düşündüğümüz bir aylemden bahseserken,başka bir deyişle, tahminler yaparken, “will” ya da “be going to” kullanılabilir.

• The weather reports say it will be sunny tomorrow.
• Look at those black clouds. It’s going to rain.
• Be careful. You will hurt yourself!
• She is studying hard. She is going to pass the exam.
• I think Fenerbahce Istanbul will become the champion this year.


1.4 Using Present Continuous for Future

Bazen gelecek zamandan bahsederken present continuous tense kullanılır. Bu kullanımda anlam, “be going to “ yapısı ile tamamen aynıdır. Geleceğe yönelik kesin bir plan, karar ya da niyet belirten cümlelerde present continuous tense kulanılabilir. “go, come, arrive, stay, leave” fiileri present continuous tense’in gelecek zaman ifadelerinde sıklıkla kullanılır. Bu fiiler kesin planlar ifade ederler. Gelecekte planlanmış seyahat ifadelerinde kullanılan, fly, walk, ride, drive, take ( a taxi, a bus etc.) gibi fiiller de present continuous tense’de kullanılırlar.

• Bill is coming to the meeting tomorrow. (= Bill is going to come to the meeting tomorrow.)
• We are flying to Istanbul tonight. (= We are going to fly to Istanbul tomorrow.)
• They are playing football this afternoon. (=They are going to play football this afternoon.)
• I am leaving home tomorrow morning. (= I am going to leave home tomorrow morning.)

PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSE

Present Perfect Tense ile Continuous arasında kullanım açısından bazı farklılıklar olsa da, work ve live gibi bazı fiilerde iki tense'in kullanımı da aynıdır.
Örneğin aşağıdaki iki cümle de doğrudur.

I have been working in this company for four years.
(Dört yıldır bu şirkette çalışıyorum.)

I have worked in this company for four years
(Dört yıldır bu şirkette çalışıyorum.)

FORM Present Perfect Continuous

[HAS / HAVE] + [BEEN] + [VERB+ing]

EXAMPLES:

I have been waiting here for two hours.
(İki saattir burada beklemekteyim/bekliyorum.)

She has only been studying English for two years.
(O sadece iki yıldır İngilizce çalışmaktadır.)

We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes", "for two weeks", and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous.

(Present Perfect Continuous tense geçmişte başlamış bir şeyin şu ana kadar devam ettiğini belirtmek için kullanılır. "Beş dakika boyunca", "iki hafta boyunca" veya "Salı gününden beri" gibi zaman ifade eden kalıplar bu tense ile kullanılır.)

EXAMPLES:

They have been talking for the last hour.
(Son iki saattir konuşuyorlar.)

She has been working at that company for three years.
(Üç yıldır bu şirktte çalışmaktadır.)

James has been teaching at the University since June.
(James Haziran ayından beri üniversitede öğretmektedir.)

USE 2 Recently, Lately
(Son zamanlarda)

You can use the Present Perfect Continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for five minutes", "for two weeks", and "since Tuesday". Without the durations, the this tense gives a more general meaning of "lately". We often use the words "lately" or "recently" in the sentence to strengthen this meaning.

(Present Perfect Continuous tense aynı zamanda "beş dakika boyunca" gibi bir süreç belirtmeden de kullanılabilir. Bu zaman ifade eden kalıpları kullanmadığımızda cümlede "son zamanlarda" anlamı vardır ve daha geneldir. Anlamı kuvvetlendirmek için cümlelerimizde "recently" veya "lately" (son zamanlarda) gibi kelimeler kullanılır.)

EXAMPLES:

Recently, I have been feeling really tired.
(Son zamanlarda kendimi gerçekten yorgun hissediyorum.)

She has been watching too much television lately.
(Son zamanlarda çok fazla TV seyrediyor.)

Mary has been feeling a little depressed.
(Mary kendini biraz depresyonda hissediyor.)

IMPORTANT Non-Continuous Verbs/ Mixed Verbs

It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. To express the idea of Present Perfect Continuous with these exception verbs, you must use Present Perfect.

(Bu tense'in kullanımına ilişkin hatırlanması gereken önemli bir nokta da şudur. Durağan fiiller, yani içinde herhangi bir eylem bulundurmayan fiiller (sahip olmak gibi) Perfect Continuous Tense ile kullanılamaz. Cümleye bu tense'in anlamını kazandırmak için Present Perfect Tense kullanılır.

EXAMPLES:
Sam has been having his car for two years. Yanlış

Keep it in the family

Wouldn’t it be good to make your own money? Or would it? Well, a family in East London did just that and found out that they had to pay a high price for it! It sounds like a dream – printing millions of £20 and €50 notes. No need to ever go to a bank again! Unfortunately, for this particular family the dream has ended in prison sentences for all of them.

This illegal operation was the biggest that the police have ever seen in the UK. Over 14 million pounds’ worth of fake bank notes have been recovered and they think that this ‘family business’ was producing over 66% of all fake bank notes in the UK. There could be many, many more. Only the family know how many notes are still out there and they’re not going to tell anyone. It was a very large, complicated, and successful business!

The public have become interested in this story because of the family aspect. Four generations of the same family were part of the operation. The ages ranged from 23 to 85 and included grandchildren, parents, grandparents and even a great-grandmother! The great-grandmother, who was 85, lived in special accommodation for older people and the police found £22,000 of notes in a plastic bag on top of her kitchen cupboard, ready to be distributed!

This forgery business was very well organized. It was run like a real business and each person had his / her place. They used very high-tech equipment to print and cut the fake notes and they had 20 different sites to keep the money, such as the great-grandmother’s kitchen. The police watched the operation secretly for over four months before they arrested the gang.

At the trial the judge told the public that they shouldn’t feel sorry for people like this. They are organized criminals and they are stealing from everyone and hurting the economy. However, a lot of people have a secret admiration for the family. Is this a worrying fact or is it human nature? I wonder.

Keep it in the family

Wouldn’t it be good to make your own money? Or would it? Well, a family in East London did just that and found out that they had to pay a high price for it! It sounds like a dream – printing millions of £20 and €50 notes. No need to ever go to a bank again! Unfortunately, for this particular family the dream has ended in prison sentences for all of them.

This illegal operation was the biggest that the police have ever seen in the UK. Over 14 million pounds’ worth of fake bank notes have been recovered and they think that this ‘family business’ was producing over 66% of all fake bank notes in the UK. There could be many, many more. Only the family know how many notes are still out there and they’re not going to tell anyone. It was a very large, complicated, and successful business!

The public have become interested in this story because of the family aspect. Four generations of the same family were part of the operation. The ages ranged from 23 to 85 and included grandchildren, parents, grandparents and even a great-grandmother! The great-grandmother, who was 85, lived in special accommodation for older people and the police found £22,000 of notes in a plastic bag on top of her kitchen cupboard, ready to be distributed!

This forgery business was very well organized. It was run like a real business and each person had his / her place. They used very high-tech equipment to print and cut the fake notes and they had 20 different sites to keep the money, such as the great-grandmother’s kitchen. The police watched the operation secretly for over four months before they arrested the gang.

At the trial the judge told the public that they shouldn’t feel sorry for people like this. They are organized criminals and they are stealing from everyone and hurting the economy. However, a lot of people have a secret admiration for the family. Is this a worrying fact or is it human nature? I wonder.

A different life

Sara Huntingdon works for a children’s organisation in Africa. Every day, she writes her blog for an online news website.

Wednesday 25th

Every morning, I get up at six o’clock and go to the refugee camp. 1,000 families live there. They don’t have much food or water.

I sometimes work in the children’s centre. It is in a big, old house near the camp and it is open to small children. They are four, five, or six years old. When I open the door in the morning, it’s usually hot inside. I prepare lessons and games then I always have coffee and bread for breakfast.

When the children arrive at half past seven, they go into the house and meet their friends. They talk and relax and play games. They like games! Then we start school at quarter past eight. I teach English and art, and I sometimes teach maths. They can speak English well but they can’t write in English. I always answer the children’s questions. They usually want to hear about my life in England – and about my boyfriend! I cook some food and they eat it before they go home. Every day at the children’s centre is a fantastic experience for the children and for their teacher.

At half past eleven in the morning, the children go home. For four hours every day, the children don’t think about their problems. And that’s very important.

A man on the moon

On the twenty-first of July 1969 American astronaut Neil Armstrong opened the door of the lunar module, the Eagle, and walked outside. He was on the moon. He was the first man in history to walk on the moon. It was a fantastic moment.

A few minutes later, Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin then took photos and made a film of their short time on the moon. They also collected information and spoke to the American president, Richard Nixon, on the phone. Nixon said it was a ‘historic phone call’. They placed an American flag there and left.

The twenty-first of July 1969 was a very important and exciting day. On earth, a lot of people listened to their radios all day because they wanted to hear the news about the men on the moon.

A fantastic hotel

Last summer, my wife and I went to Las Vegas for a week. We stayed with our friends, Jimmy and Diane, for the first five days, but we stayed at a very special hotel on the Saturday and Sunday nights at the end of our holiday. We booked a suite at the Venetian Resort Hotel on the Las Vegas strip. The Venetian is modern, luxurious, and very big! There are 7,000 rooms and suites in the hotel, and in our suite there were three TVs – one in the bedroom, one in the living room, and one in the bathroom.

You can find everything at the Venetian. It’s a small town! There is a casino in the hotel and there are 17 restaurants. On our first night there we ate at the Bouchon restaurant. It was fantastic – but very expensive! We didn’t go to the casino on Saturday night because we didn’t have any money after we had dinner!

The hotel is really brilliant! There is a small lake near the entrance, and on the fourth floor there are three swimming pools and a spa. We didn’t go swimming but my wife loved the spa. On the second floor, there is a big shopping centre with canals and gondolas. We went on a gondola. I thought I was in Venice!

There are a lot of things to do at the Venetian. You can visit a Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum with statues of famous Hollywood actors. Or you can go to the fantastic nightclub or to one of the theatres. There are three of them! We weren’t interested in visiting the wax museum and we didn’t go dancing, but on Sunday evening we saw a great show at the Blue Man Theatre, and we went to an art exhibition at the hotel’s art gallery.

Well, I get up at half past three in the morning,’ says Peter. ‘I have breakfast and a shower. I eat eggs and I always drink a lot of coffee before I start work. It’s dark outside and it isn’t easy to get up when it’s so early and so dark. Then I walk to the delivery office. It’s about 20 minutes from my house.

What do you do at the delivery office?

I work with ten other postmen. We work for four hours putting letters into bags. It isn’t difficult to do but we work very fast.

Then what do you do?

At about 8.30, I take my big bag of letters and walk outside. On a typical day, I deliver letters to 600 addresses.

Do you like your job?

Yes. Well, usually. I don’t like it when it rains. And I don’t like working on Saturday morning when everybody is in bed. But I meet a lot of people. Old people are very friendly and I always speak to them. Some old people don’t speak to many people in a day so I think it’s important to say hello and be friendly. And after lunch I’m free. I don’t work in the afternoon, so I can go shopping or go cycling when other people are at work. And that’s great!

Isambard Brunel

Isambard Brunel was a great engineer. He built bridges, railways, tunnels, and boats. But what do we know about his life and work?

Brunel was born in Portsmouth in the south of England on 9th April 1806. His mother was English, but his father, Marc Brunel, was French. His father was a famous engineer in France, but he left his country in 1793. First he went to America and then to England, where he married an English woman in 1799. Isambard went to school in England and France, and spoke English and French.

When he returned to England from school in France, Brunel went to work for his father. In his first job, he and his father built a tunnel under the River Thames in London. Then, in 1831, Brunel won a big competition. It was for a bridge across the River Avon in Bristol in the south of England. The Clifton Suspension Bridge took 30 years to build, but today it is one the most beautiful bridges in the world.

In 1833, Brunel got a new job. He became chief engineer for the Great Western Railway Company, and work began on the train line from London to Bristol. Today, when you travel to Bristol by train, you go over beautiful bridges and through fantastic tunnels – Brunel built them all. As well as bridges, tunnels and railways, Brunel designed some famous boats. The 'Great Western', built in 1837, was the first steamship to go across the Atlantic Ocean to the USA. And the 'Great Eastern', built in 1859, was the biggest boat in the world.

Brunel wasn’t a good businessman. The ‘Great Eastern’ was very expensive to build and he lost his money. He also smoked a lot every day and worked very hard. He was only 53 when he died on 15th September 1859.
