SIMPLE PAST TENSE

1. Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action or situation started
and finished at a specific time in the past. We use the simple past tense to talk
about things that are now finished.



Past.........X..................................Now...................................................Future
         He was a writer

Examples:

Edgar Allan was an American author, poet, editor and literary critic.
Edgar Allan Poe lived in the nineteenth century.
He wrote poetry.




2. You can use the simple past tense with time expressions that refer to the
past (last night, last Monday, last week, last month, last year, last summer, by
1982, in the eighteenth century, three years ago, two days ago)

Examples:

By 1845, he was famous
He died more than one hundred years ago.
SIMPLE PAST TENSE

3. The simple past tense of regular verbs is formed by adding (d ) or (ed).

Examples:



Simple form                           Simple Past

Join                                         joined
Live                                         lived
Work                                         Worked
Play                                         Played



There are often spelling changes when you add –ed to the verb.

Examples:



Hop                                          Hopped
Carry                                        Carried
Prefer                                       Preferred
SIMPLE PAST TENSE

Many common verbs are irregular. Their past tense is not formed by adding d or
ed.

Examples

Be                   was / were
Have                 had
Get                  got

Take                 took
Eat                  ate
Give                 gave
Feel                 felt
Know                 knew
Make                 made
Do                   did
Wake                 woke
