Grammar Summary
Simple Past Tense: Regular and Irregular Verbs
- Regular verbs add ‘-ed’ to form the simple past tense, like “visited,” “watched,” and “played.” Irregular verbs have different past tense forms, such as “went” for “go,” “was/were” for “be,” and “came” for “come.”
- Most verbs use ‘did not’ (or ‘didn’t’) before the verb in the negative forms (e.g., “I didn’t play…”). For ‘be,’ ‘not’ is used: “I was not happy” or “I wasn’t happy.”
- Most verbs use ‘did’ before the subject in the interrogative forms: “Did you play…?” For ‘be,’ the subject and verb are inverted: “Was he happy?”
