Study Notes
Forming the Past Simple
- Regular verbs form the past simple by adding -ed to the end of the base form (e.g. called, played, watched)
- Irregular verbs have a different form, often with a change in vowel sound (e.g. wake → woke, break → broke, feel → felt)
Negative and Question Forms
- The negative form is made with didn't and the infinitive (e.g. didn't call, didn't play, didn't watch)
- The question form is made with did and then the subject and infinitive (e.g. did you call, did you play, did you watch)
Using the Past Continuous
- The past continuous is used to show an action was already in progress at a specific time in the past (e.g. I was studying when you called)
