GRAMMAR 3

Simple Past Tense
• We use the simple past tense to talk about completed events / activities in the past.
• We use certain time expressions like ‘’ago, yesterday’’ and ‘’last’’ with this tense.
• In affirmative sentences, we usually use ‘’-ed’’ at the end of regular verbs. However, this rule does not apply
to irregular verbs. We need to study irregular verbs list to make sense.
• The simple past tense forms of ‘’to be’’ are ‘’was’’ and ‘’were’’.
