Vragen met      was/were
Als je een vraag wilt maken met was of were, zet je was of were vooraan de zin en een vraagteken achteraan:

He was very funny.
Was he very funny?

They were in Spain last year.
Were they in Spain last year?

Ontkenningen met     was/were
Als je een ontkenning wilt maken met was of were zet je er NOT achter. Meestal verkort: N'T

He was a funny boy.                                   They were very happy.
He was not a funny boy.                           They were not very happy.
He wasn't a funny boy.                               They weren't very happy.

Past Simple - Regular Verbs
After a regular verb you put '-ed'

I walk -> I walked
He walks -> He walked
They walk -> They walked

Slide 24 - Slide

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

Slide 25 - Slide

Past Simple - Irregular verbs
Some verbs in English are irregular, this means that in the past tense they don't get '-ed' at the end, but have their own form.

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

Slide 26 - Slide

Past Simple - Questions/negations
Questions -> Did + entire verb (hele werkwoord)
Did you walk to school yesterday?

Negations -> didn't + entire verb
You didn't sell your car yesterday.
