The Past Simple Tense

2. Past Simple Tense
It`s used to express an action happened in the past.
Examples :
She cleaned her room yesterday.
He studied Spanish two years ago.
Yesterday – Once – One day – in the past – ago – last
(month – week – year ) .

3. 1. We add (ed) to the regular verbs to make it in the past simple.
Example : work worked
listen listened
2. With verbs end with (y) and before it a consonant letter, we change
the (y) to (i) and add (ed) so the end of the verb will be (ied).
Example : study studied
marry married
3. Then we have irregular verbs we should know them carefully.
Example: awake ( awoke – awoke ) , break (broke – broken), lay (
laid – laid) , choose (chose – chosen) , make (made – made ).

4. Negation and Interrogative
We use didn’t then the verb in the infinitive ( didn’t + ).
Example:
They dusted the streets yesterday. They didn’t dust the streets
yesterday.
We put did before the subject , then the verb in the infinitive.
Example :
He signed the contract the previous day. Did he sign the contract
the previous day?
