Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Regular Verbs
After a regular verb, you put '-ed', if a regular verb ends on '-e', you only add '-d'.

I walk -> I walked                           I love -> we loved
He walks -> He walked               She loves -> she loved
They walk -> They walked         We love ->we loved

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - 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

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

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

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 catch -> caught: The police caught the criminal two days ago.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Irregular verbs

There are no rules for the irregular verbs, you just have to learn them by heart.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Questions/negations
Questions -> Did + infinitive (hele werkwoord)
He walked to school yesterday.
Did he walk to school yesterday?

Negations -> didn't + infinitive
You sold your car yesterday.
You didn't sell your car yesterday.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Signal words
In Dutch signal words are called 'signaal woorden'
