Definition of Past Simple

The past simple tense is used to describe completed actions or states in the past.

Regular Verbs in Past Simple

To form the past simple, regular verbs require adding '-ed' to the base form. For irregular verbs, the past simple form varies.

Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern in the past simple tense. Examples:

walk - We walked to school last year. 

live - He lived there when he was younger. 

Irregular Verbs in Past Simple

Irregular verbs have unique past simple forms that don't follow a specific pattern. Examples: 

go - went - been

eat - ate - eaten

fly - flew - flown

Signal Words for Past Simple

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you can do to learn these words.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
