Well, the Simple Past was already mentioned before HERE. However, I believe it deserves its own entry in this blog. So, here you are:
We use the Simple Past to talk about actions that happened in a specific moment in the past.
e.g. I worked yesterday.
When? Yesterday.
Observe the paragraph below:
All the verbs in the paragraph above are in their simple past forms.
Some verbs undergo a simple transformation: we only add ed to the end. These are regular verbs:
We travelled to our countryhouse [on Sunday].
travelled - travel
.Some verbs change completely. These are irregular verbs:
We went to the club [on Saturday].
went - go
You can find a list of irregular verbs HERE.
However, in the negative and in the interrogative form, the verbs do not change. We use did instead of do.
Negative:
Present: I don't work on weekends.
Past: I didn't work last weekend.
Interrogative:
Present: Do you study English every day?
Past: Did you study English yesterday?
Are you ready to do some practice? Try it HERE and HERE.
See you soon!
