Again! We're not over yet!

How do we conjugate other verbs?

Excellent question! Lucky for you, this is what we'll work on for the second half of the class.

There are two kinds of verbs: regular and irregular. Today, we'll learn how to form the Past Simple with regular verbs.

• We only use the conjugated form of the verb in affirmations. For questions and negations, we use the base form! ​

This took a long time to do, so you better pay attention!

​We add -ed!

• ​help - helped, ask - asked

​When verbs end in -e, we only add -d.

• care - cared, like - liked

​When verbs end in consonant + y they drop the -y and we add -ied.

• carry - carried, study - studied

​BUT when verbs end in vowel + y they simply add -ed.

• ​play - played

In occassions, when verbs ​end in a consonant we double that consonant and add -ed.

• stop - stopped, hop - hopped, travel -​ travelled.
