Study Notes
Simple Past Tense
Regular Verbs
Regular verbs are verbs that form the simple past tense by adding -ed to the base form. For example, the verb "walk" becomes "walked" in the simple past tense. Other examples include "run" becoming "ran", "sing" becoming "sang", and "swim" becoming "swam".
Irregular Verbs
Irregular verbs do not follow the regular pattern of adding -ed to form the simple past tense. Instead, they have unique past tense forms that must be memorized. For example, the verb "go" becomes "went", "eat" becomes "ate", "drink" becomes "drank", and "see" becomes "saw".
Negative Form
To form the negative form of the simple past tense, the auxiliary verb "did" is used with the past participle form of the main verb. For example, "I did not walk" or "He did not run".
Questions
To form questions in the simple past tense, the auxiliary verb "did" is used with the subject and the past participle form of the main verb. For example, "Did you walk?" or "Did they run?".
Affirmative Form
The affirmative form of the simple past tense is simply the past tense form of the verb without any auxiliary verbs. For example, "I walked" or "He ran".
