Past Simple (Revision) (1)

Revise the past simple with us!

We use the simple past to talk about events that happened at a specific time in the past - signal words are: yesterday, in 2018, last week/year, a week/month ago.
Form the simple past with "ed" at the end of the verb but look out for irregular verbs like: buy - bought or see - saw. For example: "I laughed about the joke" OR "I brought my favourite toy to school".

To form a negation in the Past Simple use didn't + the first form of the verb. You can use the shortened form or the longer version. For example: Tom didn't/did not go on holiday. Exceptions: was, were and could. For that verbs the negation is formed with "not". For example: I wasn't/was not at the football match yesterday.

To form a question put „did“ at the beginning of the sentence. Here again "did" is followed by the first form of the verb. For example: Did Tom go on holiday? If you want to form a question with "was, were or could" put the verbs at the beginning of the sentence. For example: Were you at home last night?

Be careful: Use were/weren't for you, we, they!
