Key Topics to Revise

1

Understanding the Simple Past Tense

  • We use the simple past tense to describe actions that were completed in the past.
  • Regular verbs end in -ed (e.g., played, walked), while irregular verbs have special past forms (e.g., went, bought).
  • The simple past tense does not change with the subject (I, you, he, she, etc.).

Using the Simple Past in Sentences

  • Positive sentences use the past form of the verb directly.
  • Negative sentences use 'did not' (didn't) + base verb.
  • Questions start with 'Did' followed by the subject and base verb.
