→When is this happening?
To talk about things that happened in the past we use the past simple
For example:
Yesterday, I stayed at home.
Last week, she walked a lot.
In 2004, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook.
To form the past simple:
Basic rule= infinitive + -ed
ex. to watch → I watched
⚠️ Verb ends with -y → -ied
ex. to cry → yesterday, she cried.
to cyberbully →he cyberbullied
👉 Werkwoord eindigt op -y → wordt -ied
Exception: She played, she enjoyed
ex. to commit → he commited committed
to stop → he stoped stopped
⚠️End = 1 stressed vowel followed with 1 consonant→ consonant doubles
⚠️ Einde = beklemtoonde klinker gevolgd door 1 medeklinker → medeklinker verdubbelt
⚠️ See the grammar box on p. 161
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Basic rule = simple
But a lot of irregular verbs → on p. 167-168
Learn them by heart!!!
I am
You are
He/she/it is
We are
They are
⚠️ The verb 'to be'
I was
You were
He/she/it was
We were
They were
The past simple of 'I start'
The past simple of 'he plays'
The past simple of 'they cry'
The past simple of 'we live'
