en  -est bij de overtreffende trap (superlative form). 

Vb: big, bigger, the biggest / small, smaller, the smallest. 

3 lettergrepen: more / most

Vb: beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful/ interesting, more interesting, most interesting. 

2 lettergrepen

Als een bijv.nw. twee lettergrepen heeft en het eindigt op –y, -ow, -le, -er, voeg je -er achter het bijv. nw. bij de vergelijkende trap (comparative form) en  -est bij de overtreffende trap (superlative form). 

Bij alle andere bijv. nw. voeg je more voor het bijv. nw. bij de vergelijkende trap (comparative form) en most bij de overtreffende trap (superlative form).

Let op! Er zijn twee spellingsveranderingen

• Als de stellende trap een bijvoeglijk naamwoord is met één lettergreep en het eindigt op: medeklinker-klinker-medeklinker, dan verdubbelt de laatste medeklinker: big, bigger, biggest, slim, slimmer, the slimmest

• Als de stellende trap eindigt op: medeklinker + y, dan verandert de y in een i bij de vergrotende en de overtreffende trap: happy, happier, the happiest, funny, funnier, the funniest.

Past simple

PAST SIMPLE: vt

You can use the past simple in 3 different kinds of sentences:

1. positive sentences (bevestigende zinnen)

2. questions (vragende zinnen) 

3. negative sentences (ontkennende zinnen) 

POSITIVE SENTENCES

regular verbs

I WALKED

YOU WALKED

HE/ SHE/ IT WALKED

WE WALKED

YOU WALKED

THEY WALKED

POSITIVE SENTENCES

irregular verbs

EACH VERB HAS IT OWN FORM, WHICH YOU CAN FIND IN THE 2nd COLUMN OF THE VERBS ON P.  204-205 OF YOUR BOOK)

.

PAY ATTENTION!!!

You can't make questions and negative sentences in the past simple with the past simple form of the verb itself.  

So not like this:

Walked you to school yesterday?

I walked not to school yesterday.

Instead, you need the auxiliary verb (= hulpwerkwoord) 'DID' 

to make questions and negative sentences in the past simple.

QUESTIONS:

DID I GO?

DID YOU GO?

DID HE/ SHE/ IT GO?

DID WE GO?

DID YOU GO?

DID THEY GO?

NEGATIVE SENTENCES:

I DIDN'T BUY

YOU DIDN'T BUY

HE/ SHE/ IT DIDN'T BUY

WE DIDN'T BUY

YOU DIDN'T BUY

THEY DIDN'T BUY

THE VERB TO BE BEHAVES DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER VERBS.

POSITIVE SENTENCES:

I WAS

YOU WERE

HE/ SHE/ IT WAS

WE WERE

YOU WERE

THEY WERE

   QUESTIONS:

WAS I?

 WERE YOU?

WAS HE/ SHE/ IT?

WERE WE?

 WERE YOU?

WERE THEY?

NEGATIVE SENTENCES:

I WASN'T

YOU WEREN'T

HE/ SHE/ IT WASN'T

WE WEREN'T

YOU WEREN'T

THEY WEREN'T

NA DID EN DIDN'T KOMT DUS ALTIJD HET HELE WERKWOORD!!
