Hi everyone, as some of you may know, my goal is to become an English Language Teacher. I decided to create a blog post series where I study and review topics that I will need to be knowledgeable about. My last post was about present simple tense. This post will be about past simple tense!
Past simple= I did
Image. Example: I ran the marathon last week.
This tense includes the use of regular and irregular verbs.
Regular verbs in the past use -ed at the end.
Irregular verbs change form differently. For example, I draw becomes I drew.
In questions, it can be shown as:
Did/didn't you/she/he/they do?
Or
Was I/he/she/it ...
Were we/you/they ...
Examples:
Was he out last night?
Were you on holiday last week?
Note:
The was or were part of the question can be after the did or didn't question e.g. did you paint last night or were you too tired? This is a past simple tense question.
In negative replies or sentences it is:
I/he/she/they didn't do
The past simple form I am or he/she is or they are:
I/he/she/it was/wasn't
We/you/they were/weren't
