Past Simple

Every time when we start the topic PAST SIMPLE or PRESENT PERFECT I see some scare in the eyes of my students. From my experience I also remember the time when I used to sit and try to remember all the forms of IRREGULAR forms;(

So let's revise this not very simple grammar form together.

When we form Past Simple we should remember that we deal with 2 forms of the verbs, they are Regular form and Irregular one.

To the Regular forms we add the suffix -ed (for example, to work - worked). The simple thing is that we don't need to pay attention to the singular and persons.

I worked We worked

You worked They worked

She/he/it worked

The other thing is with Irregular forms (we will practice them today).

When we form negative sentences we need to add didn't + Simple Verb (we didn't work).

And as for question we start the sentence with Did + Person + Simple Verb (Did you work yesterday?)

Markers: ... ago, yesterday, last (month, year, summer etc.), in ... (in 1996).
