Past simple

Past Simple

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

The past simple is what in Dutch is called the verleden tijd.

 Regular Verbs

After a regular verb you put -ed'

I walk -> I walked

He walks -> He walked

They walk -> They walked

 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

 Regular Verbs Spelling

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

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

Past Simple - Questions/negations

Questions 

Did + entire verb:

Did you walk to school yesterday?

Negations 

Didn't + entire verb:
