because its done before the contract is made is not consideration. These fact cannot influence forming of a contract if they were in past tense for example: Al gives emergency care to Bob . Bob promises to pay Al for his services but his promise is not binding because there is no bargain for exchange

past consideration is of no effect to consideration at all. It is where the defendant's promise is subsequent to the plaintiff's act and independent of it. for example, where P saves D from drowning; Das an expression pf gratitude, later promises to pay P a sum of money as a reward.

Why is past consideration not good consideration?

Past consideration is not good consideration because it is not contingent on the responding consideration. For example, suppose I gave you $20 on Tuesday as a gift. And then on Friday, you offered to enter a contract with me to wash my car. If I offered the $20 as consideration, or payment, that I had already given you, it would not be a contract. You would not be getting any benefit from the bargain, and I would not have any assurance that you would perform, because there is no benefit to you.


Why a past consideration is not a good consideration?

Do you mean consideration for contract formation? To have a bargain, you have to be willing to give something up. For example, if we had a contract for the purchase of your car for $5000, you would give up your car, and I would give up $5000. That's consideration. If the consideration is in the past (e.g. you already gave up your car), that's not going to create a binding contract.
