What to Focus On

  • Used for actions completed in the past.
  • The action is over and does not continue in the present.
  • Used with time expressions like 'yesterday', 'last week', 'in 2010', etc.

  • Regular verbs: add -ed (played, walked).
  • Irregular verbs: change form (go → went, eat → ate).
  • Negative: did not (didn't) + base verb.

  • To express a completed action in the past.
  • To describe a past habit (often with words like 'used to', 'always', 'often').
  • To show a sequence of completed actions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All past tense verbs must end in -ed.

When using 'did', we should use the past tense form of the verb.

Negative sentences in past tense are made by adding 'not' after the past verb.

Memory Tips

Simple past tense is used for completed actions in the past.

Regular verbs add -ed in simple past (e.g., play → played).

Irregular verbs don't follow -ed rule (e.g., go → went, sing → sang).

Negative sentences use 'did not' + base verb (e.g., did not sing).
