Grammar – Past Simple

Past Simple
- We use the PAST SIMPLE to talk about actions that have already finished. There are two types of past simple verbs: regular and irregular. Today, we are going to focus on the REGULAR VERBS.
- We consider past simple regular verbs those that add -ed to the base form of the verb.
For example: - – dance – danced
- – kiss – kissed
- – visit – visited
- There are a few exceptions to this rule:
- – When the verb finishes with an -e, we just add -d. For example: like – liked, close – closed.
- – When the verb finishes in consonant + y, we lose the y and add -ied. For example: study – studied, marry – married.
- – When the verb finishes with a stressed vowel + consonant, we double the consonant and add -ed: stop – stopped, ban – banned.
