Past simple

The sentences in the next questions are in the present tense. Change the verbs so the sentence is in the past simple.

My bad habits lead to late nights, endin' alone
Conversations with a stranger I barely know

It's only when lie in bed on my own
And I wake up and I don't see your name on my phone
It's in the moments where I think that I'm better alone
That's when I remember, that's when I remember

What you know about rollin' down in the deep?
When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze
When these people talk too much, put that shit in slow motion, yeah
I feel like an astronaut in the ocean

Grammar - repetition

We use the past simple when we talk about something that happened in the past. It started in the past and it finished in the past.

- This can be once: "I walked to school yesterday". (one specific moment in the past)

- It can be more than once: "when I was young, I walked to school every day, now I go by car". (happened every day, but doesn't happen anymore)

- Or it happened for some time in the past: "I lived next to my school when I was younger" (happened for a longer time, you lived there 3 years) 

How do we make it

Regular: verb + ed. Walked, jumped, climbed

Word already ends in e: +d. lived, hated

Irregular: many diferent ones. It's a matter of learning

- Positive: I walked to school yesterday

- Negative (something that didn't happen): Didn't + hele werkwoord: I didn't walk to school yesterday.

- Question: Did + hele werkwoord: did you walk to school yesterday

NB: the negative and questions sentences have "did/didn't" and then the whole verb. A bit strange, it's the past simple and you don't use a form of the past! But it is the truth. After did/didnt: whole verb, so NOT: "I didn't walked to school yesterday."

Exercise

Make three questions using the past simple. You can use question words.

Question words:

When, where, who, what, why, how, how much, how often etc.

Example:

When did you last see your grandma?
