What to Focus On

  • was and were are past tense forms of be
  • The form depends on the subject
  • Negative forms use not

  • had is the past tense form of have
  • The negative can be had not or did not have
  • Questions can use had or did

  • Simple past shows completed past action without present connection
  • It also shows past habits
  • Negative sentences use did not + root form

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any sentence about the past should use the present perfect tense.

The words just, already, ever, never, yet, often, lately, this morning, this week, and this afternoon can be used with any tense.

Had means only had not; it is not the past tense of have in positive sentences.

Memory Tips

Past tense of be: was and were

Past tense of have

Simple past tense form

Simple past tense use
