Easter holidays

Easter is an important Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many different customs for celebrating Easter around the world, but the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday) and the Monday after are given as a bank holiday in the UK.

Early celebrations included the painting of eggs, which represented Jesus' empty tomb. Now we give Easter eggs - often chocolate - to friends and family, and have Easter egg hunts for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.

Past simple regular verbs

We use the past simple to describe an action that started in the past and ended in the past. It could be something that happened twenty years ago or something that happened two minutes ago.

The most common time expressions used for the past simple are: yesterday, a week (month, year) ago, last (month, year, weekend, Monday) night, the day before yesterday, two days (months, years) ago. The time expression appears either at the beginning or at the end of the sentence – never in the middle of the sentence.

Saint Patrick's Day song

Saint Patrick’s Day is traditionally a day of dancing and feasting in honour of St Patrick.

Saint Patrick of Ireland is one of the world’s most popular saints. Along with Saint Nicholas and Saint Valentine, the secular world shares a love of these saints.

Among other things, Saint Patrick is known for driving the snakes out of Ireland. It is true that there are now no snakes in Ireland, but there probably never have been.

Since snakes represent evil in literature, the idea of Saint Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland is symbolically saying he drove the old, evil, pagan ways out of Ireland.
