De regelmatige past simple

Je gebruikt de past simple als je wilt zeggen dat iets in het verleden is gebeurd.

Dat doe je door -ed toe te voegen aan het hele werkwoord.

Een werkwoord dat al op e eindigt krijgt alleen -d.

Vragen en ontkenningen

Op dezelfde manier als in de present simple, maar dan met:

did / didn’t

Past simple vs present simple

Do I walk to school every day?

I walked to school yesterday.

Did I walk to school yesterday?

Irregular verbs

Irregular verbs (onregelmatige werkwoorden) don't accept the rules. They get different forms in the past simple and in other verb tenses. 

There are no rules for these verbs and you just have to study them.
