Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Past Simple
The past simple is what in Dutch is called the verleden tijd.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Past Simple
You use the past simple when something happened in the past and is finished.


Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Regular Verbs
With a regular verb you put '-ed' at the end.

I walk -> I walked
He walks -> He walked
They walk -> They walked

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Regular verbs

Spelling:

If the verb ends with a consonant + -y then the -y changes into -ie:

  • I carry - I carried
    Nothing changes when a verb ends with a vowel + -y:

  • I play - I played
    If a verb ends with -e, then you only have to add a -d in the Past Simple:

  • I live - I lived
    In the Past Simple, when a verb ends with a vowel + consonant then the consonant is doubled when adding -ed:

  • I drop - I dropped

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Irregular verbs
Some verbs in English are irregular. This means that in the past tense they don't get '-ed' at the end, but have their own form.

to write -> wrote; I wrote her a letter last week
to go -> went; He went to Italy last year
to make -> made: They made a very nice meal two days ago

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Irregular verbs
There are no rules for the irregular verbs, you just have to learn them by heart

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Questions/negations
Questions -> Did + base form of the verb
Did you walk to school yesterday?

Negations -> didn't + base form of verb
You didn't walk to school yesterday.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Past Simple - Signal words
In Dutch signal words are called 'signaal woorden'  

These words help you to see if something happened in the past:
  • yesterday
  • last week
  • ten minutes ago
  • in 2007
