HOW TO FORM THE PAST SIMPLETo form the past simple we have to
distinguish:
• regular verbs: dance, play, walk,…• irregular verbs: eat, swim, drive,…
They are only different in the affirmative form.

AFFIRMATIVE: REGULAR• To form the past simple we add –ED to the
infinitive.• All persons have the same form: I/ you/ we/ they/ walk+ed
He she/ it play+ed• Spelling changes Verbs ending in cons-y →ied I study → I studiedMonosyllables verbs (CVC) → double the
consonant He stops → He stopped Verbs ending in –e → d She dances → She danced

AFFIRMATIVE IRREGULAR• Irregular verbs don’t have a fixed
pattern.• You must learn irregular verbs by heart. (look at the list at the end of the book) I run → I ran He drives → He drove They fly → They flew• Be careful: most of the verbs we often
use are irregular.
