Text and explanation:
We use the Past Simple when we talk about something that happened in the past and is over now.
When you see these words there is a high chance the verb is past simple: yesterday, last night, last year, last week, a long time ago, in 2019.
It has 2 forms: regular and irregular.
Regular:
If the verb is regular, all you have to do is take the whole verb and put -ed behind it.
Like: walk - walked talk- talked
Uitzonderingen: If verbs end in -y with a consonant (medeklinker) in front of it, the verb changes in -ied. Like: marry- married, carry - carried. BUT if a vowel (klinker) is before the -y, it stays -yed. Like: stay - stayed.
Irregular:
You need to study these well. You can find them in your workbook on page 270 in the second colom. Let op BE. I/HE/SHE/IT was. You/They were.
There are a lot of irregular verbs in the video below. Look at it to become familiar with these verbs or look at them on page 270 of your workbook.
