Past Simple Tense in English - Regular and Irregular Verbs Grammar lesson
The past simple tense - English grammar lesson.
In this English lesson we learn how to create sentences in the past tense in English. We look at affirmative sentences, negatives sentences and questions in the past simple tense.
🌿 Affirmative Sentences – Past Simple Tense 🌿
First we compare present simple vs. past simple affirmative sentences
Then we look: How to make a past tense verb?
We give examples of adding -ED to the end of regular verbs and what to do when a verb already ends in E (like live, smile and dance)
Next we give an introduction to the pronunciation of ED at the end of regular past tense verbs and how there are three main sounds /d/, /t/ and /id/.
🌿 Negative Sentences – Past Simple Tense 🌿
We compare present simple vs. past simple negative sentences and the difference between don’t / doesn’t vs. didn’t

🌿 More Question – Past Simple Tense 🌿
Next we look at using “question words” such as when, where, why, what, who, which etc. before DID.
🌿 Irregular Verbs – Past Simple Tense 🌿
We show you how to make affirmative and negatives sentences as well as questions in the past tense using IRREGULAR verbs. We use the verb TO GO (past tense = WENT) to give examples of how easy it is to create past tense sentences and question with irregular verbs.
