2. How to use the Past Simple

3. Practised forming a Past Simple

Past Simple (1)

You can use words such as:
 last ..., ...
ago,
dates in the past,
yesterday 
with the past simple to signal you are talking about the past.

The Past Simple (2)

• We visited the zoo last Friday.
  
• I cycled there two weeks ago.
  
• They climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2015.
  
• My brother walked home yesterday. 

Past Simple (3)

You form the past simple of regular verbs by adding -ed to the verb. If the verb already ends in -e, you only add -d.

Examples:

• We looked at the animals.
  
• My sister liked feeding the seals.

Past Simple (4)

If the verb ends in a short vowel + one consonant, you double that consonant when you add -ed.

• (to stop) He stopped to take a picture.
  
• (to grab) They grabbed the food off the floor.

Past Simple (5)

If the verb ends in a consonant + -y, you replace that -y with -ied.

• (to try) The monkey tried to climb the tree.
  
• (to cry) The player cried after losing the final.
  

Make a Past Simple by using the verb
