PAST SIMPLE 1 AFFIRMATIVE
HOW TO FORM THE PAST SIMPLE To form the past simple we have to distinguish: • regular verbs: dance, play, walk, … • irregular verbs: eat, swim, drive, … They are only different in the affirmative form. I typed He swam They had
AFFIRMATIVE: REGULAR • To form the past simple we add –ED to the infinitive. • All persons have the same form: I/ you/ we/ they/ walk+ed He she/ it play+ed • Spelling changes q Verbs ending in cons-y →ied I study → I studied q Monosyllables verbs (CVC) → double the consonant He stops → He stopped q Verbs ending in –e → d She dances → She danced
AFFIRMATIVE IRREGULAR • Irregular verbs don’t have a fixed pattern. • You must learn irregular verbs by heart. (look at the list at the end of the book) I run → I ran He drives → He drove They fly → They flew • Be careful: most of the verbs we often use are irregular.
USES OF THE PAST SIMPLE • We use the past simple to talk about: completed actions in the past • Time references: yesterday, in 2011, … last month, day, year, summer… I saw Paul yesterday Diana played tennis last Friday
