This document provides a summary of lessons on using verbs in the past tense in English. It covers using the past tense of "be" to talk about past time, forming negative and question sentences, and using regular and irregular past tense verbs. Key points include using "was/were" for singular and plural subjects, adding "-ed" to regular verbs, and how the past tense forms of common irregular verbs differ from their present tense (e.g., "bring/brought", "sing/sang"). Examples are provided to illustrate each grammar point along with exercises for practice.
