Past Simple & Adjectives
After this lesson you will be able to:
- Make sentences, questions and negations using the Past Simple;
- Explain what adjectives are, what they do and you will be able to use them.
Past Simple
We use the Past Simple to talk about things that happened in the past.
These things started in the past and they finished in the past as well.
How to use the Past Simple
The Past of 'to be' is was/were.
We add +ed to the ending of regular verbs, but be careful of the spelling changes!
I study > I studied
I travel > I travelledIrregular verbs do not get +ed, you have to learn them by heart.
Making questions and negations
Most verbs in the Past Simple need help, they can't form questions and negations on their own.
Questions: get Did at the beginning of the sentence. The verb changes back to the infinitive.
He walked to school yesterday. > Did he walk to school yesterday?
Negations: get didn't in front of the verb. The verb changes back to the infintive.
He didn't walk to school yesterday.
Remember: we ONLY have to deal with regular/irregular verbs in regular sentences! So not for questions and negations!

Adjectives
An adjective tells us something about a noun, they modify a noun.
They describe a quality or the state of something.

The scariest villain of all time is Darth Vader.
With adjectives we can use degrees of comparison.
