Past Simple
Itzel Gpe. Maldonado Herrera
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that
an action started and finished at a specific
time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker
may not actually mention the specific time,
but they do have one specific time in mind.
 action in the past taking place once, never or
several times. Example: He visited his parents
every weekend.
 actions in the past taking place one after the other
Example: He came in, took off his coat
and sat down.
 action in the past taking place in the middle of
another action. Example:When I was having
breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.
 if sentences type II (If I talked, …)Example: If I had a
lot of money, I would share it with you.
 1.The /id/ sound
 If the last letter of the word is spelled with D
orT, the ED is pronounced as a separate
syllable with an /id/ sound (it rhymes
with kid and lid).
 wanted (sounds like "want-id")
 waited
 needed
 folded
 2.The /t/ sound
 If the last consonant of the word is voiceless, then the
ED is pronounced as aT. Be careful not to create an
extra syllable or "id" sound.
 talked (sounds like "talkt")
 kissed (the S sound comes from the front of mouth so
it would sound like "kisst")
 parked
 helped
 NOTE: As an example, with the word "helped", if you
say "help-id" as a two syllable word, then it is very
likely that people will NOT understand the word or
what you are saying. (It is pronounced like "helpt")
 3.The /d/ sound
 If the last letter of the words ends in
a voiced consonant (or sound), then the ED is
pronounced like a D (without creating
another syllable)
 played (sounds like "playd")
 closed (the S sounds like a vibrating Z so the
word would sound like "clozd")
 opened
 lived
