How do we form the simple past tense?
English has two types of verbs in the past:
-regular
-irregular
Let’s read the following list of past tense verbs….. Which are regular and which are irregular?

Regular verbs are verbs that end with -ed
Simple form verbs:
walk
study
cry
live
Past tense verbs:
walked
studied
cried
lived
Rules for adding –ed:
Add –ed to most verbs Drop the “e” and add “ed” to verbs that end with
“e” (smile= smiled). Change the “y” to “i” and add –ed to verbs that
end with a consonant and “y” (carry= carried, study= studied).
Double the consonant and add –ed to verbs that end with one vowel and one consonant ( drag= dragged, stop= stopped).
Irregular verbs are verbs that don’t end in –ed……..
Sometimes with irregular past tense verbs you have to change the vowel to make the verb past tense:
become became
give gave
drive drove
forget forgot
Other irregular verbs have a different kind of change…..you need to memorize these!
teach
bring
leave
hear
buy
taught
brought
left
heard
bought
Why do we use past tense verbs?
TO TELL THAT AN ACTION IS COMPLETED!!!!!! FINISHED!!! OVER!!!
PRONOUNCIATION OF REGULAR VERBS……

*With –id sounding words, there is another syllable!
