Samenvattend

Bij bevestigende zinnen krijgt de stam -ed of is het een onregelmatig werkwoord

Bij ontkennende zinnen komt "didn't" erbij en de stam blijft hetzelfde

Bij vragende zinnen begin je met "did" en de stam blijft hetzelfde

Met het werkwoord "to be" hoef je de bovenste regels niet te volgen en

          alleen "was/were/wasn't/weren't" te gebruiken.
