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

When a verb ends with -e, only add -d in the past simple:

I live - I lived

You double the last consonent (medeklinker) if there is one vowel before it: 

I drop - I dropped

 Regular Verbs Spelling

If a verb ends with a consonant + -y, the -y changes to -ie: 

I carry - I carried

Look out, it will not change when it ends with a vowel (klinker) + -y:

I play - I played

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
