This is a PowerPoint about regular verbs and simple past

1. Regular Verbs

2. Regular Verbs
Regular verbs in the simple past end in -ed. If the base form ends in
-e, add only –d. If the base form ends in -y after a consonant,
change the y to i and add -ed.
The boy heard a hungry baby crying.
She baked him a soft roti.
He lived with his mother in India.

3. Regular Verbs
If the verb ends in 'e'
• add 'd'
• e.g. dance, smile, like, practice
• e.g. danced, smiled, liked,
smoked, practiced
If the verb ends in
a consonant + 'y'
• remove 'y' and add 'ied'
• e.g. cry, marry, study, rely
• e.g. cried, married, studied

4. Regular Verbs
If the verb ends in one vowel + one
consonant
• double the consonant and add
'ed' to form the past tense.
• e.g. stop, rub, hop, hug, drag
• e.g. stopped, rubbed, banned
• Note that we don't double the
consonant if the verb ends in 'x'.
e.g. fix -> fixed, mix -> mixed
In all other cases, we add 'ed' to the
verb to form the past tense.
• e.g. want - wanted
laugh - laughed
train - trained
stay – stayed
• Be careful when the word ends
in 'y': if the 'y' is preceded by a
vowel then we do not replace
the 'y' with 'i'(e.g. play - played,
stay - stayed, annoy - annoyed,
delay - delayed).

6. How do we
pronounce
the -ed
•/ɪd/
•/t/
•/d/

12. Did the boy eat the roti?
No, he didn’t.
Did he live with his mother?
