Past Simple

The past simple is what in Dutch is called the verleden tijd

Past Simple

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

Past Simple - Regular Verbs

After a regular verb you put '-ed'

I walk -> I walked

He walks -> He walked

They walk -> They walked

Past Simple - Regular verbs

Spelling:
Als een werkwoord eindigt op een medeklinker + -y, dan verandert de -y in -ie:

• I carry - I carried

Let op, er verandert niets als het werkwoord eindigt op klinker + -y:

• I play - I played

Als een werkwoord eindigt op -e, dan komt er in de past simple alleen een -d achter:

• I live - I lived

In de past simple wordt de laatste medeklinker verdubbeld als er één klinker voor staat:

• I drop - I dropped

Past Simple - Questions 

Questions ->"Do” in the past tense (did)

Did + subject + base form of the verb

Did you walk to school yesterday?

Past Simple - Negative

Negative -> Subject + did + not + base form of the verb

You did not walk to school yesterday.

Past Simple - Signal word

In Dutch signal words are called 'signaal woorden'  

These words help you see if something happened in the past:

• yesterday
• last week
• ten minutes ago
• in 2007

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
