    THE PAST SIMPLE-REGULAR VERBS

    The past simple is the most common way of talking about past events or states which have finished. It is often used with
    past time references (e.g. yesterday, two years ago).
    A past event could be one thing that happened in the past, or a repeated thing.
    I stopped at a zebra crossing.
    We carried on with the test.
    We played tennis every day in August.
    A state is a situation without an action happening.
    We stayed at my grandparents' house last summer.
    Regular past simple forms are formed by adding -ed to the infinitive of the verb.
    start → started kill → killed jump → jumped
    There are some spelling rules. If a verb ends in -e, you add -d.
    agree → agreed like → liked escape → escaped
    If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before -ed.
    stop → stopped plan → planned
    If a verb ends in consonant and -y, you take off the y and add -ied.
    try → tried carry → carried
    But if the word ends in a vowel and -y, you add -ed.
    play → played enjoy → enjoyed
    You form questions and negatives with the verb did (do in the past) + the infinitive.
    Did you pass? Yes, I did. / No, I didn't
    You didn't fail.

    THE PAST SIMPLE-IRREGULAR VERBS
    Some verbs are irregular. Their past forms do not end in -ed.
    The past forms don't change.
    I took a taxi to the airport. (take → took)
    One person gave me his last bar of chocolate. (give → gave)
    The negatives are all formed with did + not + the infinitive without to.
    The question forms are very similar: did + subject pronoun + the infinitive without to.
    We didn't think you would get home in time for your birthday.
    What did you do all day in the airport?
    Did you have enough food?

    The verb to be is an exception. The past form is was for I, he, she and it, but were for you, we and they.
    It was horrible not being able to phone you two!
    There wasn't any food.
    I was so hungry!
    We were stuck in the airport.
