The past simple is what in Dutch is called the verleden tijd

Past Simple

Past Simple - Regular Verbs

After a regular verb you put '-ed'

I walk -> I walked

He plays -> He played

They listen -> They listened

Past Simple - Regular verbs

Spelling:
Als een werkwoord eindigt op een medeklinker + -y, dan verandert de -y in -ie:

• I carry - I carried

Let op, er verandert niets als het werkwoord eindigt op klinker + -y:

• I play - I played

Als een werkwoord eindigt op -e, dan komt er in de past simple alleen een -d achter:

• I live - I lived

In de past simple wordt de laatste medeklinker verdubbeld als er één klinker voor staat:

• I drop - I dropped

Past Simple - Irregular verbs

Sommige ww in het engels zijn onregelmatig, dat betekent dat ze in de verleden tijd geen -ed krijgen maar een eigen vorm hebben. Dit is altijd het 2e rijtje -> to fly - flew - flown

To write -> wrote; I wrote her a letter last week

to go -> went; He went to Italy last year

to make -> made: They made a very nice meal two days ago

Past Simple - Irregular verbs

There are no rules for the irregular verbs, you just have to learn them by heart
