DEFINITION & USAGE
•We use the simple past when we are
going to narrate actions that happened
at a certain moment in the past, we
normally use it with adverbs like: “last
year”, “yesterday”, “last night”…
CHARACTERISTICS
-Indicates the action performed at a specific moment in the past.
-The main verb of the sentence is always in the past tense.
-It has a simple composition of "subject and predicate verb".
-It is the only grammatical tense that uses verbs in the past tense.
-In the predicate expressions that determine the time of the
sentence can be used, although it will always be the verb that
indicates whether or not the sentence is in the past tense.
AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES
- The structure to form these sentences is:
I + verb in past + complement
- Some examples are:
She liked to sit in the sun
He studied for his English class
You watched television every nigh
NEGATIVE SENTENCES
- For negatives sentences we use:
subject + did not + verb in infinitive + complement
- Some examples are:
You did not keep your promise
Andrew did not finish his chores
They did not went to the park
FOR YES OR NO QUESTIONS
- When we are going to do a question on simple past we
use this structure:
Did + subject + verb in infinitive + complement
- Some examples are:
Did you have fun with your friends?
Where did you go for your last holida
What did you watch on TV last night?
REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS
• For regular verbs, the "simple past tense" and "past particle" are formed like
this:
• Add "ed" to most verbs:
• jump > jumped
• paint > painted
• If a verb of one syllable ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], double the final
consonant and add "ed":
• chat > chatted
• stop > stopped
REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS
• Irregular verbs are verbs that don’t take on the regular –
d, -ed, or -ied spelling patterns of the past simple (V2)
or past participle (V3). Many of the irregular V2 and V3
forms are the same, such as: cut – cut,
• had – had,
• let – let,
• hurt – hurt,
• fed- fed,
• sold-sold
RESOLVED EXERCISES
• He did not found me (found)
• The lion ran after the zebra (run)
• My bike went out of order in the way (go)
• She met me in train (meet)
• When did you reach Glasgow? (reach)
