Grammar - Past simple tense / verleden tijd

Wanneer gebruik je de verleden tijd

• To talk about actions or events that were finished in the past.
• To talk about actions or events that occured at a specific time in the past.
• To talk about routine or habits that happened in the past.
• To state facts that were true in the past.

Rules for writing a verb in the past simple

For regular verbs

• For verbs ending in "e," simply add "-d" (dance = danced) 
• For one-syllable verb with a single vowel followed by a consonant, doble the final consonant before adding "-ed" (stop = stopped)
• For verbs ending in "y," change the "y" to "i" before adding "-ed" (carry = carried) 

Irregular verbs

Irregular verbs do not follow the regular "-ed" pattern for forming the past simple tense, they have unique forms that need to be momorized.

swim = swam

eat = ate

write = wrote

drink = drank

drive = drove

Past simple - practice
