PAST SIMPLE: IRREGULAR VERBS
Past simple: Irregular Verbs Irregular verbs have a past form that is not the usual "-ed" form. Below is a list of some common irregular verbs: Infinitive Past form to be was / were to buy bought to break broke to come came to do did to drink drank to eat ate to fall fell to find found to fly flew to get got to give gave to go went to have had to hear heard to hurt hurt to know knew to learn learnt / learned to leave left to make made to meet met to read read to ride rode to run ran to say said to see saw to send sent to sing sang to sit sat to speak spoke
to spend spent to take took to teach taught to think thought to wake (up) woke (up) to wear wore to write wrote These irregular past forms only appear in affirmative phrases: I ate chicken yesterday. I didn't eat chicken yesterday. (NOT I didn't ate chicken yesterday.) Did you eat chicken yesterday? (NOT Did you ate chicken yesterday?)
PAST SIMPLE: NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE
To make the negative form of the past simple, we use a very similar structure to the negative form of the present simple. Instead of "do / does", we use the auxiliary "did":
Subject Auxiliary Not Infinitive
I / you / he / she / it / they / we did not work In written and spoken English (except in very formal situations or for special emphasis), it's common to combine "did" and "not" to make the short form "didn't": I didn't work yesterday. To make the interrogative form, we put the auxiliary verb before the subject:
Auxiliary Subject Infinitive
did I / you / he / she / it / they / we work?
Did you work yesterday?
To avoid repetition, we often use short answers. These are formed with the subject and the auxiliary "did" or "didn't": No, I didn't.
I / you / he / she / it / I / you / he / she / it / Did I / you / he / she / / it / they / we did they / we worked they / we didn't work it / they / we work No, I / you / he / she / it / they / we didn't
PAST SIMPLE: REGULAR AFFIRMATIVE
To make the past form of regular verbs, we can add the ending "-ed": Infinitive Past form to work worked to walk walked The past form is the same for each person: I worked yesterday. She worked last week. They worked this morning. If the verb ends in "-y", we usually remove the “y” and add "-ied":
Infinitive Past form
to try tried to study studied
PAST SIMPLE: 'TO BE'
We normally use the past simple to refer to finished actions in the past. Below are the past simple forms of the verb "to be":
I / he / she / it was Affirmative you / we / they were I / he / she / it was not Negative you / we / they were not was I / he / she / it...? Interrogative were you / we / they...? Yes, I / he / she / it was. No, I / he / she / it was not. Short answer
Examples: I was late for the meeting yesterday. It was not very cold last night. Were you born in the United States? In spoken and informal written English, it's common to combine "was" and "were" with "not" to make the short forms "wasn't and "weren't": I wasn't at the party. We weren't tired.
