Past simple
When we use the past simple, we talk about the past. In Dutch it is known as 'de verleden tijd'. Something that happened in the past.
You have two different forms of the past simple: regular and irregular.
Let's watch two short videos where these forms are used.
Pay attention, because there will be some questions afterwards.

Past simple regular
Most of the time you use +ed after a verb:

ed
But when a verb ends with and -e, you only put the -d behind the verb:
danc
e
> dance
d

Slide 10 - Quiz
Past simple - irregular
Unfortunately, there aren't any clear rules about the endings of past simple irregular (=onregelmatige) verbs.
You need to learn these verbs by heart (=uit het hoofd leren).
Have a look in your book on page 127, second row.
Slide 11 - Slide
Slide 12 - Slide
There are many different types of endings of irregular verbs in the past simple.
A
True
B
False
Slide 13 - Quiz
We use the auxiliary (=hulpww) 'did' or 'didn't' to form questions and negatives in the past simple.
A
True
B
False
Slide 14 - Quiz
Past simple
To form negatives sentences (wat niet is gebeurd/gedaan) use
didn't
:
I
slept
. > I
didn't
sleep
.
To form questions, use
did
:
You
slept
for hours last night. >
Did
you
sleep
for hours last night?
See what happens with the verb in the past:
slept
, becomes
sleep
.
Because you use
did
/
didn't
. And that verb is already in the past. So in this case, make sure you don't use the past simple twice.
