    For regular verbs, simply use the –ed form of the
    verb in a positive sentence.

    For irregular verbs, use the correct past tense form
    in positive sentences. (We use the same form with different subjects .)

    Last week, I ___________ you a letter. (send)

    The students __________an English exam. (have)


    They _______ a great job! (do)
    For negative sentences, USE

    I went to work yesterday.


    I didn’t go to work yesterday.
    Exception =
    VERB BE!

    The verb be is special.


    Never use DID NOT or DIDN’T with the verb BE.
    Instead, just use:
    For Yes/No questions, USE

    Did you go to work yesterday?


    Did you come yesterday?
    Put the verbs (between brackets) into the correct form (simple
    past).
