Past Simple questions + negatives

Today's goals

I can make questions about the past.

I can make negative sentences about the past.

• We use Past Simple to talk about events and situations that STARTED and ENDED in the past.

• WALK ➡️ WALKED
• You add -ed to the verb
• Mind the spelling ➡️ 

Past Simple: let's recap!

1. Verbs ending in -e , only add -d : use ➡️ used
2. Verbs ending in a consonant + y,  -y ➡️ -i: try -> tried
3. Be careful! Verbs ending in vowel + y: play ➡️ played
4. Verbs ending in (short) vowel + consonant ➡️ double the consonant           + -ed: stop ➡️ stopped
5. Extra! Verb ending -l  double the last consonant: travel ➡️ travelled

SPELLING RULES!
