Assignment:

Past simple:

Welke tijd is de
Past Simple?

      When you write a postcard:

When you write a postcard, you often write about things you have already experienced. 

So you write in the past tense. In English we call this the "Past Simple".

     How to make the "Past Simple:

• By putting -ed after the verb
• This rule applies to the regular verbs.

Attention!

There are also irregular verbs and these do not get an -ed at the end:

  

These verbs change and so you must learn them by heart!

            Regelmatig / Regular:

To call -> She called last night

To live  -> I lived there when I was young

     Onregelmatig / Irregular:

Go - Went - Gone

Be - Was - Been
