How do we form the simple past tense?
English has two types of
verbs in the past:
-regular
-irregular
Lets read the following list of past tense
verbs.. Which are regular and which are
irregular?
walked regular
studied regular
taught irregular
gave irregular
became irregular
cried regular
lived regular
did irregular
Regular verbs are verbs that end with -ed
Simple form verbs:
walk
study
cry
live
Past tense verbs:
walked
studied
cried
lived
Rules for adding ed:
Add ed to most verbs
Drop the e and add ed to verbs that end with
e (smile= smiled).
Change the y to i and add ed to verbs that
end with a consonant and y (carry= carried,
study= studied).
Double the consonant and add ed to verbs that
end with one vowel and one consonant ( drag=
dragged, stop= stopped).
Irregular verbs are verbs that dont end in
ed..
Sometimes with irregular
past tense verbs you
have to change the vowel
to make the verb past
tense:
become became
give gave
drive drove
forget forgot
Other irregular verbs have a different kind
of change..you need to memorize
these!

bring
leave
hear
buy

Why do we use past tense verbs?
TO TELL THAT AN ACTION IS
COMPLETED!!!!!! FINISHED!!! OVER!!!
PRONOUNCIATION OF REGULAR
VERBS
The ed ending in English has three
different sounds:
t: walked, talked, jumped
d: played, loved, answered
