PAST SIMPLE - T1 - P2

How do we conjugate other verbs?

Excellent question! Lucky for you, this is what we'll work on for the second half of the class.

There are two kinds of verbs: regular and irregular. Today, we'll learn how to form the Past Simple with regular verbs.

• We only use the conjugated form of the verb in affirmations. For questions and negations, we use the base form! ​

This took a long time to do, so you better pay attention!

• ​help - helped, ask - asked

​When verbs end in -e, we only add -d.

• care - cared, like - liked

​When verbs end in consonant + y they drop the -y and we add -ied.

• carry - carried, study - studied

​BUT when verbs end in vowel + y they simply add -ed.

• ​play - played

In occassions, when verbs ​end in a consonant we double that consonant and add -ed.

• stop - stopped, hop - hopped, travel -​ travelled.
