Past simple regular verbs

• You use the past simple to talk about actions/ events that happened in the past.
• The action/ event is finished. There's no connection with the present.

To make the past simple of a regular verb you add -(e)d.

My mum liked my new swimsuit a lot. 

We changed flights in London. 

Past simple irregular verbs

• For irregular verbs there is no rule you can follow in the past simple.
• You need to learn the forms of the verbs.

For example:

• (to) be = was/ were
• (to) buy = bought
