Exercise 8: Discussion

What did you notice?

What did you notice about words ending with a consonant or e

• To clean = ?
• Cleaned
• To carve = ?
• Carved
• Rule: Add -ed or -d

Exercise 8: Discussion

What did you notice?  Words ending in Y

• To destroy = ?

• Destroyed

• To bury = ?
• Buried

•     Rule: Look at the letter in front: Vowel? Add -ed

•  Not a vowel? Y -> i + ed

Summary: Past Simple

•  When we talk about something in the past in English we add -ed to the verb.

•  If the verb ends with an "e" (use) you only add  -d
• If the verb end with a -y (spray, stay, bury) look at the letter before the y
• Vowel - klinker? Add -ed as usual
• Consonant - medeklinker? Y -> i then add -ed
