本影片所學句型為Past Tense be verb，將影片分為兩個部分協助學生學習。首先，透過描述家人(Dad, Mom, twin brothers, Cody)過去的事物及時間線，讓學生了解過去式的使用時機及be動詞的過去式。之後，利用時間線及相關例句，讓學生學習過去式的副詞例如：then, before, ten years ago。影片中使用的例句包含：My dad was just a clerk in a supermarket five years ago.／She was a nurse last month.／They were in the army three years ago.／I took him home on the street two years ago.／I think I was cute then.／He was small, dirty, and hungry then.
