1. PAST TENSE OF REGULAR AND
IRREGULAR
THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE IS VERY EASY TO USE .IT IS
NOT COMPLICATED AT ALL LIKE THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE .FOLLOW THOSE 3
STEPS IN ORDER TO USE THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE.
1.IN THE THIRD PERSON OF SINGULAR DON’T USE ANY “S”.
2.WHEN USING A SINGULAR NOUN THE USE OF THE “S” IS USELESS,AND
3.ADD “ED” TO REGULAR VERBS TO FORM THEIR PAST TENSE.
LET’S CONSIDER SOME EXAMPLES
1. EX:HE WANTED TO SEE YOU .
(NOTICE THAT THERE IS NO USE OF “S” IN THE VERB “WANTED”).
2. EX: PETER WANTED TO SEE YOU .
(NOTICE THE OMITTANCE OF THE “S” ALSO WITH THE SINGULAR NOUN “PETER”).

2. QUESTIONS WITH THE PAST TENSE
WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS WITH THE PAST TENSE FOLLOW THOSE 2 STEPS.
1. USE DID + SUBJECT + A BASE FORM OF A VERB
2. USE DID WITH ALL THE PERSONS I, YOU ,HE ,SHE ,IT, WE ,YOU ,THEY ,AND SINGULAR NOUNS.
EX: HE WANTED TO SEE YOU .(AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT)
QUESTION
1.EX: DID HE WANT TO SEE ME?
(NOTICE THE USE OF THE BASE FORM OF “WANTED”).
EX: PETER WANTED TO SEE YOU .(AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT)
QUESTION
2.EX :DID PETER WANT TO SEE ME ?
NOTICE THE USE OF THE SINGULAR NOUN “PETER” ,AND THE USE OF THE BASE FORM “WANTED”.
SHORT ANSWERS
(+) YES ,HE DID.
(-) NO,HE DIDN’T OR NO, HE DID NOT.
BECAREFUL :
NEVER USE “S” IN THE THIRD PERSON OF SINGULAR.
EX: HE SLEPT THE WHOLE DAY YESTERDAY.
DON’T SAY : HE SLEPTS THE WHOLE DAY YESTERDAY.(INCORRECT)
THE “S” IS ONLY USED IN THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE .
