Grammar

Is this correct

I have little problem with grammar. I'll give you example:

When I was passed exams, I drove once time a car.

Is this correct or not?

Hi Dobry, I'm afraid I can't understand what you are tring to say, so really it doesn't make sense. You seem to be having a problem using the past tenses. "When I was passed exams" - Do you mean "When I passed my exams" or "when I had passed my exams"?

Hi Dobry,

I'm afraid I can't understand what you are tring to say, so really it doesn't make sense.

You seem to be having a problem using the past tenses.

"When I was passed exams" - Do you mean "When I passed my exams" or "when I had passed my exams"?

"I drove once time a car. " Do you mean you only drove a car once?

We use past simple to talk about situation in the past, that is right? I don't know, how to build a sentence. Please, give me answer, is this example correct - When I passed my exams, I drove once time a car. We must use verb ?
"I drove once time a car. " Do you mean you only drove a car once?
Yes

Sorry for my bad English, but I'm studying this language

Hi, Dobry

Don't worry about your English - the whole point of this forum is to help with English!

You have used the present simple of "to pass" correctly. "To pass" is a regular verb, so we add 'ed'. You have also used the simple past of "to drive" correctly - this is an irregular verb, so well done!


"When I passed my exams"

"I drove a car ONCE" or "I

I know many English words, but I don't know English grammar. That's my problem. I studied years ago English in primary school.
