Past simple

The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now.

Example

Verbs

• For regular verbs, we add -ed.

  regular verbs: play – played, watch – watched, want – wanted

  
  

• For irregular verbs, there is a special past tense form. irregular verbs: eat – ate, write – wrote, go – went

Be careful!

When we use the negative, we don’t change the main verb. We use ‘didn’t’ instead.

I didn’t watch TV.
