PAST SIMPLE
Anna Torrent
GENERAL INFORMATION


When we talk abourt Past Simple tense in English we distinguish two kinds of
verbs: regular verbs and irregular verbs.



Regular verbs are called like that because they follow the same pattern: they
end in ed or d.
play  played
decide  decided
study  studied

From these examples it is easy to see that sometimes changes are needed:


We usually add ed to the infinitive form of the verb:
play  played
act - acted



Those verbs ending in e just add d:
like  liked
save - saved



When a verb ends in y, it changes into i and we add ed:
cry  cried
study  studied



Verbs ending in CVC double the last consonant and add ed:
stop  stopped
sit - sitting


Irregular verbs completely change from the base form, and they need to be
learnt by hard.
FORM


Affirmative: S + Vpast + C
Example: She liked playing the piano when she was ten.
My neighbours bought a new house last month



Negative: S + DIDNT + Vinf + C
Example: She didnt like playing the piano when she was ten.
My neighbours didnt buy a new house last month



Question: DID + S + Vinf + C
Example: Did she like playing the piano when she was ten?
Yes, she did / No, she didnt
Did your neighbours buy a new house last month?
Yes, they did / No, they didnt
USE


We use PAST SIMPLE to talk about finished actions in the past.
That is, actions that started and finished in the past.
Ex: Jack and Susan painted their house last week.
I lost my keys yesterday



Time expressions: yesterday, last month, in 1992, two years
ago, etc.
