PAST SIMPLE TENSE (Basic)
ENGLISH
GRAMMER
The
Simple Past Tense, often just called the Past Tense, is easy to use in
English.
In
general, the Past Tense is used to talk about something that started and
finished at a definite time in the past.
Past
Tense - Regular Verbs
To
change a regular verb into its past tense form, we normally add –ED to the
end of the verb.
Past Tense - Irregular Verbs
Irregular
verbs are ONLY irregular in affirmative/positive sentences.
For example: The past tense of GO is WENT. It does not end in –ED so it is considered irregular. |
