Past Simple Indefinite Tense

Parts of presentation - Structure - Examples Affirmative form Negative form Interrogative form Questions and short answers - Examples - Spelling rules for the past simple of regular verbs - We use the Past Simple Tense

Structure The past simple tense of the most english verbs (regular verbs) is formed by adding "-ed"/"-d" to their base form. (If the verb ends in "-e", we add "-d" to form the past simple.) There are also some verbs called irregular verbs that have special past tense forms.

Affirmative form Regular verbs: base form + "-ed" or "-d": work + "-ed" = worked live + "-d" = lived I/you/he/she/it/we/they worked I/you/he/she/it/we/they lived Irregular verbs: past form only I/you/he/she/it/we/they saw

Negative form To form the negative and interrogative sentences we use the past form of auxiliary verb do --> did I you                    DID + NOT he/she/it               /DIDN'T/ we                    + WORK they He didn't work yesterday. She didn't see him last night

Interrogative form I you DID he/she/it WORK? we they Did he work yesterday? Did she see him last night? If it is the verb "to be" we use was/were before the subject: Was he at the office the other day?

Questions and short answers Did you go to the cinema last night? Yes, I did. No, I didn't. Did he speak with Kate yesterday? Yes, he did. No, he didn't.

Examples 1. We arrived at 9:00 o'clock. 2. This morning I went to the supermarket. 3. The teacher went to the desk. 4. He didn't hear the telephone. 5. Susan bought her little sister a doll. 6. We came here in 1980. 7. I worked at Johnson & Co. from 1990 to 1995. 8. My brother lived in London for six years. (he doesn't live there anymore)

Spelling rules if a regular verb ends in consonant + y change y to i and add -ed: carry - carried, study - studied, fry - fried, try - tried if a one syllable regular verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant double the final consonant and add -ed -- > stop - stopped, plan - planned, rob - robbed, beg - begged if a regular verb has more than one syllable and ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, we double the final consonant only if the final syllable is stressed -- > preFER - preferred, regRET - regretted

We use the Past Simple to tell a story and to express actions which follow each other in a story to talk about action in the past that take place in the middle of another action to talk about habitual or repeated actions that took place in the past Note: This use is also often expressed with used to: Bob used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
