The Past Simple (Regular Verbs)

When do we use the past simple?

To talk about things that happened in the past. 

             My mom called me this morning.           call -> called

How to form the past simple?

1. Add an -ed to the end of the verb or just 'd' if the vowel already ends in an 'e'.

            play -> played                 look -> looked                climb -> climbed                  explore -> explored

2. Y Rule: y turns to i, except if the 'y' comes after a vowel (a,e,i,o,u)

            carry -> carried                hurry -> hurried         BUT         play -> played            

3. Double Rule: Consonant is doubled if it is right before a vowel.

            stop -> stopped               dot -> dotted            hop -> hopped

Past simple is often used with: 

Last, Ago, Dates, Yesterday (LADY)

   I arrived home last Friday.         We booked our holiday two weeks ago.      Our flight departed on 16 July 2020.
