Past simple: Regular verbs

You form the past simple by adding ‘-ed’ after the verb:

I talked to her yesterday.

If a verb ends with ‘-y’, the past simple ends with ‘-ied’:

I tried to call you yesterday.

If the ‘-y’ follows another vowel (a, e, i, o, u), the past simple ends with ‘-ed’:

I stayed at home yesterday.

Past simple: Irregular verbs

‘to be’: ‘was’ and ‘were’ (I was / you were / (s)he was / it was / we were / you were / they were)

‘to have’: ‘had’ (I had / you had / (s)he had / it had / we had / you had / they had)
