What do you remember about the past tenses?

Past Simple

PAST SIMPLE

Past Simple --> Verleden Tijd

You use the past simple when something happened in the past and is finished.

Past Simple - Signal words

 

These words help you to see if something happened in the past

• yesterday
• last week
• ten minutes ago
• in 2007
• When I was young etc

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

 How?

WERKWOORD + ED

I walk -> I walked

He walks -> He walked

They walk -> They walked

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

Past Simple - Irregular verbs

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

You can find the list in your workbook
